how lovely

 

[Trxjw]

Wonder how this plays into the front office plans for tomorrow. Might be even more important to get a depth defender now.

Brendan Smith, come on down.

 

[Trxjw]

Apparently that wound on his ankle isn't healing properly.

Clendening is 16gp away from meeting 40/70 requirement. Doesn't really matter for NYR, who, hopefully, will be asking (read: forcing) Girardi to waive his NMC for expansion anyway.

That man could get his foot amputated and still be back out on the ice for 15 mins a game before the season ends.

That's true but he would also have to re-sign I believe.

Yet they kept playing him. So dumb.

 

[silverfish]

See no reason (as the roster stands now) why we wouldn't. Unless he doesn't want to be here anymore.

I think it still gives them another option. maybe they buyout G, then can choose who to expose between Klein, Holden, Clendening

In my opinion the right thing to do asset wise would have been, play #4 in the 40 games already so they could have moved Klein right now, and still had the choice between Holden and Clendening on who to expose.

Again, trying to be positive. Maybe a rested Girardi has a bit more in the gas in the playoffs. Look, he and Staal's terms are handcuffiing us, no doubt. I am just curious how this affects the next 30 hours.

Hope he heals up in time for April. I know a lot of people don't want him on the ice period, but there shouldn't be any disagreement that a healthy Girardi is a better option than an injured Girardi on the ice.

He had an entire off-season to "refill the tank". He's done.

More rest can't hurt. I think it may expedite a Smith trade, or maybe a trade for a similar D. But I don't think Gorton will get desperate...the price paid for Shattenkirk is something that I think we would have paid in previous seasons. If Gorton not making that trade is any indication of his immediate plans, I think we'll be staying the course at the deadline, for the most part.

100% agree, they need to get him to the 40 GP without a doubt.

He's going to get a run of games here with the injuries which will bring him even closer, no reason why they shouldn't get him to 40.

Ignoring the fact that he's one of our best 6 defenseman anyway and should be playing every night.

 

[Siddi]

I would never wish an injury on a Ranger player, especially for someone like Girardi who has been a warrior for this franchise but this is truly a blessing in disguise and hopefully the other night was the last time he put on a Ranger jersey.

Even old Yeller had to be put down

If Clendening becomes injured he may not get to 40, Which is why I think they should have already tried to get him to 40.

They are not likely to move Klein, without #4 getting to 40 already, as if he does not make it they only would have Holden left to expose should G not waive or be bought out.

I not sure, maybe moving Klein was never on their radar, if it was they likely would have played Clendening more already. Or perhaps expansion is not on their radar, or they already decided Holden or Klein was to be exposed no matter what, I don't know, maybe they are sort of winging it there.

Agreed - I really do appreciate what Girardi has given this team. Maybe he retires and takes a job within the organization. We knew a decline was coming but it was quicker than anticipated. When Cally was traded, I thought G would have been a good captain.

 

[Cyclones21]

He had an entire off-season to "refill the tank". He's done.

And he played a serviceable game at the beginning, as did Staal.

Not disagreeing with you Atax. I am hoping for the best.

 

[Raspewtin]

How unfortunate.

 

[Raspewtin]

That's true but he would also have to re-sign I believe.

He's still an RFA, no?

 

[BB58]

Dont worry guys once hes 50% healthy hell be back..... on mcd's pairing.

I understand your sentiment but I want to know the last time he is putting on that jersey for us and I want to give him a standing ovation. He emodies do much of what I could ask for as a fan, and it is a shame his prime years were so short.

Sit Girardi till playoffs.
