AV needs to keep them focused on pressuring the play the entire game...see what happens....play skating backwards you give up goals, play skating forward you score.
Basically we have only two lines playing well tonight. Brassard's line and Hayes. Stepan line has sucked all night. The Moore line has useless idiot Glass on it.
Well it seems like Hates and Hagelin are the third line Duo. Now the question is who do they add on that line... Vermette, Stewart, Santorelli?
Hayes continues to grow game by game. They need better faceoff people but i dont know if you can take him out of the lineup.
Hayes saved them tonight with his play. Not holding leads is frustrating but thankfully they won the game.
Another 2 points on the road. Great. Hayes with a + 4.......3rd line looked very good. Looks like they may need to score more than 3 goals a game. Not good. Nash is relentless. Marty St. Louis looks out of it.
Hayes hopefully will start playing like that consistently. It would be huge for this team if he does. St. Louis is showing his age and all the miles. Glad they're getting the points despite the lapses that loss them leads. Should beat Arizona and then it's time to give beating the Islanders another try.
For those keeping track at home, ANOTHER - game for Glass. Two penalties. He is now a wonderful -17. The next closest player on the team now is MSL at 0. Yes...Glass is a -17 and the next guy is a 0. He is that much worse. The other other - guys who have played for us this year are Malone (retired), and both Allen and Mueller who are -1's and have only played a handful of games for us. I don't want to hear +/- doesn't matter either. When one player is -17 (on a team with no other - players who have played more than 7 games) IT MATTERS. It is a disgrace actually. When Fast comes back Glass better be scratched. I know AV cannot be stupid enough to scratch Miller now with the 3rd line looking good since he finally is playing the best trio we have there. But with AV you never know, and you can certainly see him scratching Stemp instead of Glass. And when we trade for another forward over the next 17 days Glass better have his a*s parked in that press box. I cannot watch it anymore with him. He automatically KILLS any line he is on. He looked like a fool again last night. Took penalties. He is god awful, and if the Rangers had any bal*s he'd be cut or at least sent to Hartford to save 900 K when Fast is back and/or we trade for a forward. It is flat out comical now how awful this guy is. Epic really....
Gotta find something to complain about...why not beat the Glass-sucks drum, right? The guy plays 8-12 shifts a night at most, as long as the Rangers keep winning games he can go - every night and it won't matter. His penalties didn't cost the Rangers anything last night, and one (if you had watched the game) was at the end of the game anyway. Until Fast is available to play we are going to have to deal with watching Glass play, accept it. You want to complain, talk about how the Rangers have not been able to protect leads well recently.
