Comments on: Pathetically pumped http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/01/pathetically-pumped/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:52:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sioux-per-man http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/01/pathetically-pumped/#comment-100047 Sioux-per-man Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:36:58 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/01/pathetically-pumped/#comment-100047 Prucha will get his chances this year. I think it would be best if he was on the third line with Korpo at center. If his pucks start to go in everyone will get off his back, if not I'm affraid the Garden faithfull will be all over him. Artem will be a nice replacement for him, once he is traded. With the opportunity Renny is going to give him this year, he should score 25+ goals. Prucha will get his chances this year.

He made close to $ 10 mm last 2 yrs plus all money earned before. perhaps if he and his agent didn't go for a 25% pay increase last yr part of which hits this yrs cap there might have been more room for him and his inflated salary this yr. mikey – shanny is only being brought up by dr house and yourself and maybe 1 or 2 others. there is no benefit needed to raise money for him and his family.

One has a contract, one doesn't. If Prucha DID earn a spot, you play him wherever you have an opening. NOT in the top 6 to 'make him productive'. The same way he was only productive when playing with jags on the pp. THAT'S what I consider bending over backwards. To have a guy that only strives in particular situations...'let someone else deal with it' I say. Gotcha Agr. Don’t think he’s earned any more than Shanny has to be honest.

Your point was they shouldn't bend over backwards for one player, I agree. But if Prucha earns a spot then the scenario isn't bending over backyards. If he hasn't it is. You think he hasn't Jeever thinks he has. I think Pru deserves a chance as well I think he can be a fine part of our third line, but keep him on the right side and give him some pp minutes. If he starts showing up like he did his freshman year maybe he can move onto the top six line, but as it stands I like how hard he works (albeit not at putting on weight which is what he has needed to do...) I like his hustle and I like that he is not afraid to go after the puck. His speed is great for the third energy line. Problem with him and Cally on the third line is they are both right wings... unless Cally is capable of playing center then Pru still won't be getting back to his comfortable side... I really think that the loss of the right side (stuck behind Jagr and Shanny on the depth chart... and not syaing that was wrong necessarily) was part of what stalled his development. But we'll see I suppose... beer,

I still don't see a recap of the game that shows that Prucha scored. Maybe that's just because the official scorers sucked over there. If Renney wants speed over size in this game, why is he playing Rissmiller over Voros and Orr, who are both fater than him, I think. I would go with Voros because Orr's hitting game is pretty much neutralized here. I guess Prucha has one more chance today. orts41 - The annoucners said during the game yesterday that the captain would be announced by Renney in the next couple of days, so I'm guessing we will know our letters by the first game against the Lightning. Did anyone wear the C yesterday with both Gomez and Drury playing? I didn't check. Sam – Unfortunately for you Metallurg has two l’s, not two t’s.

They can already cause a delay whenever they want - just fake an equipment problem or untie a strap, and boom, you've bought your team an extra 90 seconds.
