Comments on: At the risk of stating the obvious http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/04/24/at-the-risk-of-stating-the-obvious/ News and insight about the New York Rangers Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:13:49 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Saltygon Spengler http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/04/24/at-the-risk-of-stating-the-obvious/comment-page-3/#comment-83041 Saltygon Spengler Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:30:54 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/04/24/at-the-risk-of-stating-the-obvious/#comment-83041 Opie & Anthony were talking about Avery and the shirts being nixed today.... Opie, a die hard Isles fan and Ranger hater said that as much as he hates Avery, the move was brilliant and awesome.... and then I started going back to sleep but I think they commented on how dumb of a move it is to but the cuffs on a player like Sean...and that it's impeding growth of the fanbase. I could be confusing this though, as I was in and out of sleeping and they were my alarm clock. I'll DL a torrent of the show tonight and listen closey and without any "morning stiffness" clouding my judgement. Opie has also said in the past that although he hates the Rangers he doesn't mind seeing a good hit thrown on his team by a Ranger for some reason.

Mine's bigger. No mine is. No mine is. Enough already. Let's get back to the task at hand...... Pitt and the Devs are nearly polar opposites in terms of their style. The Devs can't score on an empty net, the Pens have more firepower than nearly any team in the league. What do you u guys think are the keys to containing this? You think Renney will try and match lines as best he can? Do you think Jags gets double shifted like he did vs the Devs? Which PP style would be best against the Pens? (Again, keep your "I'm smarter than you" convos out of it.) You think Jags' line of Euro style keepaway works better than Drury's line of shots from the point/crash the net? Why? Let's go....

They do cycle on the power play. It happens. I watch a lot of games and that what they do.

Cycling/Movement: I think the Rangers end up cycling more on the PP out of necessity than that being the game plan. I'm sure they'd like to get peripheral player and puck movement going more than they do... but seem to have trouble getting that going sometimes and they get caught trying to maintain position deep, hence some cycling. Maybe I'm wrong. Speed Ranger: No penalty I’m pretty sure, It was an outrage.

Three players can cycle, two players can cycle and if there are 4, you're probably in big trouble. Anyways, it can only be done in the corner, not behind the net. It involves one player passing the puck backwards to the corner and then circling (or cycling) back up to the top of cirlce then making his way back to said corner. While this one player is doing this, the other 2 players are doing the same thing. It kills time, wears the D down and eventually should result in breaking the cycle and getting a shot on net.

That diagram is absurd, but I like the effort Peppery. Ha, I totally am in agreement with Peppery, albeit I feel a little bad for starting this whole chain of posts on cycling, kinda funny actually.

So uh you said its not cycling. Peppery that was what I was saying about Jagr and Dubinsky and then who ever comes form behind the net they are passing it back to the corner!
