Post-Game Talk: New York Rangers at Chicago Blackhawks - March 8, 2015

I'm hoping Glass is in just for Martin, that's the only explanation.

Pouliot hardly had a career year last season.

Pouliot actually had one of his worst seasons at ES last year.

He scored his career high in points. Not by a ton, but it was what can be described as a career year for him.

Got a nice contract off of it instead of one-year under $2 m the Rangers gave him.

It's a really ****ing stupid one, with no real justification, but I guess I see what AV sees.

Like practically everyone else here, I hate Glass and think he's really useless, besides maybe the PK.
However, if AV MUST play him, the game tomorrow is the type of game he should be playing in. The Isles 4th line is big and nasty, and I can see the need to bring in a Glass to counter that. I would go so far as to say, that Glass should be replacing Fast and not Sheppard, since Shep is bigger, and has more size than Fast.

but again, AV is a human, and he has a soft spot for both Fast and Glass... It's incredibly unprofessional how he lets his personal opinion get in the way of the 4th line--it actually makes me angry

So it's going to be up to Sheppard to REALLY get on his good side so that AV warrants Glass being a 13th forward permanently.

What's wrong with his soft spot for Fast? why would you take him out of the lineup, he's a solid player.

Nice to have May and June off, too.

Absolutely, its just the best worst explanation.

It is , but does it matter if the question is whether playing with BraZuke gives their LW a chance for a career year?

No. Playing with BraZuke means you'll have a short season next season.

UFA status is prerequisite!

There is nothing not to like about fast. Hustles every shift, if JT had his motor he would produce better than kreider. Fast would be a favorite of a lot of coaches.

Oh goodness, that is not what I mean! there's nothing wrong with it--I LOVE Fast's game! I'm just saying Fast is another example of his love for a player.

Fast actually warrants that kind of love... Glass does not

Somehow the fishsticks are still first place. Grr

Not to worry. Looking like we might overtake the whole league in pts. Nashville the ONE team that was far ahead of the pack...... Has fallen flat on their ass. Home ice advantage throughout is a wonderful thing.

Edit: Even if we lost, 1st place is very much within reach, with games in hand. Pittsburgh is pushing us from behind, and we're showing no signs of letting up. Yandle has yet to be "hard to handle", but will soon get his Ranger wings going. In my eyes we are the best road show going and we don't even have our strategy goaltender in lineup.

We have the least amount of regulation losses, and 2nd most Row, but that won't mean much if we're not fighting with TB for first overall. It's a wonderful time of be a Rangers fan, for the last 6 years and coming to a massive CRESCENDO!
