Jagr is being effective in different ways - my only worry is if the defenders stop swarming Jags and leave him one-on-one does he still have it?

Good defense, balanced scoring and goal-tending historically win championships in this day and age. The only stats that matter are points and wins, but hey we're joint-5th i guess you have to find something to moan about don't you..!!

It does strike me as funny to see so many people so adamant about resting/sitting/retiring/euthanising Shanny, while a majority of posters are also all about Jagr coming back next year. I mean, you want to discuss a player "hitting the wall"? That's Jagr. he's trying harder than ever and he's got nothing to show for it. Even burned out Shanny is contributing more.

Like I said, 23 goals to lead the team at this point is sad. But as far as goal production goes...he's been the most consistent. He's not a streaky scorer, or even a consistent 30-goal guy. So his production combined with his play in all zones and all situations ... earns his keep. Truefan – I think that’s being a little hard on Drury.

The smart thing would be for Renney to sit him for the balance of the regular season in favor of a fresh Prucha. Bring a rested Shanny back for the playoffs. Obviously this is #14's last go-around with the Rangers and maybe the NHL. He's had a great career. Too bad we didn't get him in his prime.

And I'd like to see the GWG stats for NYR this year. Makes me sick to think that 23 goals LEADS THE TEAM with 8 games to play. newman - On Backman...He's hasn't impressed me since day one. But in the last 4-5 games he hasn't stood out as a poor player either. That's in part to Toots/Girardi playing like crap though. And Malik playing better. It's the old, 'hot chicks hang out with ugly chicks to look better' thing. He's grossly overpaid, but he's not the only one. And that always makes it look worse as we know. Overall I'd say a C+ is more than fair. But post-lockout in st louis, and post-lockout in NY have been different stories. I'm not a professional athlete, but can you get 'used to losing'? It may be hard to change your mindset and believe that you can actually win and be extremely competitive. Easily replaceable, but I don't want to run the guy out of town either. "I think Shanny should rest." I hope its really not a matter of being tired. The guy sat for 2 weeks, just a short time ago. I think it's just age. I think we're seeing the last stretch run for him. "Hollweg should be back in the lineup on the 4th line for Philly. Shoe should take Shanny’s spot on the 2nd line. I guess Prucha could get a shot in place of Shanny, but against the more physical Flyers I prefer Shoe." agreed. salty – Takes guts to admit it. And $7mil IS alot for players like that.

On Drury, he really is overpaid and last night Joe yells "who else is going to score the big goals"... as if Drury's done it all year. Drury's good, he's played better the past 2-3 months. But I remember two big goals he's scored this year, game one against the Panthers to get a 3-2 lead and last night. Perhaps the season is actually his exhibition and he's just showing up now...we'll see. Nonetheless, it was a gorgeous goal of which I hope to see more. Malik may have been the Rangers best defensman last night. Roszival got caught and gave up two odd man rushes and got a dumb penalty (leading to the Devils goal). But that's Rozy's thing lately. Girardi was surprising flat-footed and out of position too, I don't know what's happened to him. The rest of the defense was fairly un-noticable, which is good for a defensive unit.
