How about Renney sits himself out for a few games! "My players presented me with a document which delineated that it would be proactive for the team if I were to use the next games going forward to reexamine my overall strategy with respect to player usage." "The optimum vantage point for this introspection would be from the stands, where I can go over the points presented to me in the aforesaid document. They have prepared a number of questions as well as video for me to peruse." "Therefore I will be ceding the coaching duties over the next foreseeable period to my assistant coaches, Pearn and Pelino. I'm sure that by due diligence on my part, I will return with a renewed vigor and an improved comprehension of the duties of a coach in the National Hockey League." Translation: "Shanahan came into my office and said that if I mess with this lineup any more he's going to put out my lights permanently." Hey! How about Renney sits himself out for a few games!

SO I am thinking we have to see what Renney really wants to do...that or he enjoys reading the debates and tirades on this board as well as others.

When almost every team the Rangers face have been line matching to shut down Jagr, why not keep them guess with your practice line ups? Don't make it so easy for them. If he plays Prucha on the fourth line RW during the actual game, THEN I think that's the time for all the above hysteria. Renney has been playing bizarre practice combos all season, and why not?

IN any case...the "beloved" Camm Jannsen from across the river has 9 majors...Oh and the league leader in majors this season...IAN LAPERRIERE from the Avs...with 14 Majors...And Hollweg...He has 11 Majors...so that’s 21 majors between them...and a I know 2 or 3 are from other things...but lets not go and pretend that Renney has made a rule against fighting...Throw in Shannys fight...that’s 22 total Majors for the Rangers...at LEAST 15 are from fighting...I think more than that if I remember how many other majors were handed out...its not like this team never fights...I know its not always at the proper time...but look at the numbers...

It’s not an opinion...it seems the facts to me. Do you REALLY think that Shanny would go against the coach’s wishes?? Or Hollweg a few times this year and ORR and nothing was ever said by Renney. Come on...I know you don’t like the guy...but that is kinda reaching a bit to far isn’t it? I watch allot of hockey games...and I don’t see that the Rangers are to far off the mark when it comes to fights...I mean fights that are actually for something other than to knuckle draggers just trying to prove their worth... bklynblue : Renney has said that he is ok with the rough stuff…but yeah…I would imagine he’s full of crap just to make the fans happy…it seems he is really worried about what the fans think of his decision doesn’t it.

I think there are goons who could learn to play...or rather start playing, I just think the guys who do nothing on the ice, can barley skate, and are knuckle draggers should be fazed out as soon as possible....and replace them with guys who can score that will also drop the gloves. I don’t mean 20 or 30 goal scores, but the 10-15 goals per year guys on the 3rd/4th lines. I in NO WAY want fighting gone...

What have his actions & team done in reference to fighting? Are you the mold in the locker room or hiding under the coaches desk? ... how would you like Orr to become a good hockey player when he only plays 2-5 minutes or sits in the sky? Thanks for your opinions but don't state them as facts. Wild how do you know what Renney has said or hasn’t said besides what you read or hear in an interview?
