smiley.Call it an irrational hunch, but I just can't help but believe that Sather is the one keeping Glass in play more than AV.

I don't believe that's the case.
I believe AV lobbied for Glass hard, and it's now backfiring on him (Glass might be the worst player in the NHL this season). He doesn't want to bench him permanently, cause then it would prove he was wrong (to the detriment of the team).

But, winning proves that he's right about every other decision, including way larger ones than three years of 1 million for a fourth liner.
You'd think if he were that concerned with his appearances to Sather, he'd bench Glass to help the team win. His job after all is to coach the team. If Sather is letting him make dumb personnel decisions alone, that's his own failure. His job is to make sure those decisions aren't stupid ones.
Isn't it clear that Sather and management have the power to overrule such a suggestion? Particularly the signing part?
Before rushing to judgment, realize that the team is only carrying 12 forwards right because of cap considerations. Once Fast comes back and the trade deadline passes we'll see what AV chooses to do then.

Could be one of them thinks Glass is a necessary evil.
And even though he sucks, he's not preventing the team from winning enough to get to the playoffs.
I guess we'll see what happens at the upcoming decision points, like Fast's return. And of course the playoffs. I can't believe they'd play him in the playoffs.

Does anyone else notice that Moore will not even pass him the puck in the offensive zone unless it is to cycle it behind the net? He just looks at him and then keeps the puck. lol

i notice it every game... there are several plays where I see Glass heading deep into the Zone and moore has the puck trailing, and Moore will choose to hold onto it and not pass it to Glass, instead he will try a spin-o-rama or play the boards...
it's so sad.... Moore can't even trust his winger
Lol, can you blame him? I wouldn't trust him either.
How AV is so oblivious to all this as a whole is simply a mystery.

The sad part about it is that Moore is too much of a class act to trash Tanner Glass to AV
I dont think Glass has been that bad the last few games, for what its worth.....which is nothing at this point.

It still seems whatever line he is on, they can not keep the puck in the offensive zone and for whatever reason if they somehow do, it's not because of him. Last night D. Moore was excellent at keeping possession, he made up for this slug, as did Stempniak to a lesser degree.
It's all relative though, somehow Glass has been a plus player for the last 2 games. I know that stat is basically worthless, I can't recall one thing he did for the Rangers to actually earn any of those goals for.

Doubt seriously that Dominic Moore is making an effort not to pass the puck to Glass. This isn't a playground for grade schoolers. Moore's a professional for **** sake. He's going to use his line mates. It may be that Glass isn't getting open enough at the right times. Glass is not as good at handling or controlling the puck but if he's open for an opportunity and Moore can get it to him--I expect Dominic will have no problem doing it.
Girardi pinching down the boards--made a pass to Glass crashing towards the net that just missed last night. I think his teammates would really like to see him pot a goal. He, Hunwick and John Moore are the only ones who haven't scored this year. To get any of them on the scoreboard is a big deal to the rest of the players. It's good for team morale.

Believe it or not but Glass not backing off from Martin during that face off is also highly thought of in the room and provides some needed snarl against a rival even if they did not scrap.....just knowing that he would have works .

I can't wait till Fast comes back. When he is on the 4th line it's a totally different vibe, it's an actual good 4th line.
