Injury Report: Tanner Glass - (MUMPS!)

[JohnC]

Can you take yourself out of the lineup please?

Tweeted at Glass to ask him to request a scratch. Hopefully he listens.

I almost feel sorry for Tanner Glass - he've a lot of grit and heart, but it ain't easy to play for New York Rangers.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Well, he's getting paid plenty, which should take the sting out of whatever criticism he gets.

It's not hard to play for NYR as long as you are a decent player. We like our guys for the most part.

I feel more sorry for the ticket-holders who want to see a winning team.

 

[bscharf]

I didn't understand the offseason move. Dorsett brought alot more to the table.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Glass' total contract value and annual cap hit is so incommensurate with what he affords our team, that it demands action.

I have applauded AV's patience in the past. A good example is Benoit Pouliot. I remember Benny started the year attrociously, getting ripped on HFboards, but patience payed off and he blossomed on that Brass/Zuc line. However, that's a case of a player having potential, which I don't see Glass having.

I really just don't see what TG can provide this team with. His play and cap liability are mesmerizingly burdensome.

Not only that but Mr. Pouliots numbers showed he was a very consistent scorer even with limited ice time. There was some expectation there even before he started to perform with the Rangers, and thus the "wait and see" patient approach was warranted even more so.

 

[LeetchisGod]

It defies explanation that AV and Sather thought it was a good idea to sign this guy.

In addition to the changes on the back end, the Rangers will see a swap of forwards, as well, against the Flyers. Tanner Glass will miss his first game of the season because he is suffering from flu-like symptoms, meaning Lee Stempniak--scratched three straight--will replace him in the lineup this afternoon.

As a preemptive measure, Glass was sent home by the team early Friday morning.
Cam Talbot, 1-2-1 with a 2.70 GAA, will make his fifth start of the season, and second straight against the Flyers. He shut out the Flyers 2-0 nine days ago in New York.

I don't know if they use flu-like symptoms as an excuse to get scratched, but it will be just speculations. T. Glass will indeed miss his first game of the year vs. Flyers.
Personally, I think it was a healthy scratch and about time to rest him for couple of matches at least.

I'm always amazed in people's ability to see what they want to see.

 

[Dorado*]

I would love to bury him in minors or send him away for a 7 D and trade John Moore to LA for Jordan Nolan

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

So Tanner Glass has mumps and may have given them to Boyle. Even in taking himself out of the lineup he manages to hurt us.

 

[Loff]

Well, that's fitting.

Yeah he has the mumps. There's no conspiracy at all. Fourth line players get scratched sometimes - they wouldn't need a cover story for something so utterly meaningless.

 

[GordonGecko]

So Tanner Glass has mumps

I could have told you that by looking at his face when we signed him

 

[clmetsfan]

Especially after being so open about scratching other guys (Stempniak, Duclair) when they're healthy.

 

[Synergy27]

You can't make this **** up fellas. This has the potential to bring Glass to the elite whipping boy level.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Hipster gets a hipster disease. What a goober.

 

[The Undertaker]

**** Tanner Glass, this useless piece of **** can seriously go **** himself

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I hope he makes a fast recovery, same with any team member or any player afflicted. Like Tanner Steel or not he's still a person and he's still a Ranger.

 

[nyr2k2]

Christ. This guy sucks in so many ways.

 

[I Eat Crow]

As a health care professional, how did a Ranger get the mumps when the only confirmed cases were in Anaheim? They need to disinfect the locker rooms completely. The mumps in an adult is no joke.

i think you're right... it's a pretty common occurence, but i do think he's also probably got something--no need to lie... but remember Drury? more to that story than we'll ever know from what i've heard...

 

[silverfish]

Tanner Glass' even strength Fenwick +/- = -25.

Rick Nash's shorthanded Fenwick +/- = -17.

As a human, get well soon.

As a Rangers forward, well, I hope they keep winning with you on the sideline

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Tanner Glass finally took someone out of the lineup.... too bad its Dan Boyle lol
