give Yandle-McIlrath the minutes
Skjei-McDonagh
Staal-Boyle
Staal is also struggling, limit his ice time as well. This is the time of the year to see what the young players can do.

Gotta keep that warrior tag. Even if it is at the expense of your health, well being, and team

Maybe it's because the swelling got worse? You know, the rational answer, unlike what other people are giving you.

Wouldn't the swelling only get worse if he played? The rational answer would be to have him rest his bummed leg.

Did everyone just forget about Diaz lol? He is the most likely call up, no?
Still would prefer to see Skjei

If AV wanted to call up a right-handed dman, what are the options? Hughes? Calle? Not much to choose from.

Hughes can probably handle bottom pairing minutes better than G can with a bummed leg.
But it's the perfect opportunity for Skjei.

It wouldn't necessarily have gotten worse to the point where he needs to sit.
Another possibility is that, sometimes, the swelling will go away even if he does play. It hasn't, so time to give that a shot.
That and that we were a continent away from Hartford and had a back to back, not much time for the call-up to make it out and be in a position to play well.

Dolan sucks!!!
Because hockey players play through injuries all the time, and the Rangers didn't have a spare defensemen with them.

Depends. They could move someone to the right side and put Skjei on the left side.
I wouldn't put it past management and PR that this is an opportunity to 'sit' Girardi without embarrassing him or looking desperate. Using the guise of a knee injury and allowing Skjei to step in for a couple games for a serious look.
It's very possible he is actually banged up and needs a couple games off, but you have to question all theories especially after how brutal he has been for a long stretch of this season.

This is true...
Of the 3 anchors on this team, Glass is probably the least detrimental in his role

I can buy that reasoning, but they didn't manage his ice time very well.
really hope to see that.
