Bunch of dip chips here, like Prucha has a downside and Shanahan has an upside. Right!

What on Earth did Dawes do to deserve the opportunities he gets from Shuffle-the-lines-Renney? I’m for playing ANYONE else on that second line, so sure lets give Voros a look there, but why on Earth is Renney breaking up a third line that is playing exciting quality hockey? I think the Prucha-Korpi-Callahan line should be kept together for at least four more games or so. If they can’t pot a few goals after that, fine fiddle with it. But I find it hard to believe that a line that forechecks that effectively, is skating circles around other teams and hits hard isn’t going to produce if left together.

As for Prucha, every day I feel worse for Prucha … I wish they would trade him already. Every time he finds a way to succeed Renney changes his role in the team to something he’s ill suited for then plenty of morons run around bashing him for not performing. Prucha’s performance should not be compared to the veterans we’re paying 6 and 7 million a year, why people keep doing that I will NEVER understand.

3pm is the NHL deadline for setting rosters. all teams have to be down to 23 (or less) players so that is when the final cuts will be made.

I think its time to really consider waiving Prucha. Although he skates hard (and get hit hard), he really can’t score and hasn’t in a while. Would rather see Fritsche get a shot. I know he is a popular, but he needs to go.

let’s keep in mind that the entire roster did nothing to impress in pre-season. So this thought process that Prucha played so horrible and everybody else was flying is B.S.

Prucha always seems to be the guy who gets singled out.
Is he dating Renneys daughter of something?

Those new NHL commericals are awesome though. I saw them last night on NHLnetwork.

THis is a line from an article on thn.com.

“Regardless, we will know a whole lot more come 3 p.m. EST, including some inkling about Brendan Shanahan and Mats Sundin.”

Anyone know the significance of 3pm today?

“Dawesâ€¦.I cannot for the life of me figure out why Renney insists on giving Dawes prime playing time on the second line and the power play. He had a horrible camp and he is a one dimensional player at best. While he is a sniper (I will give him that), he lacks in speed, size, grit, and an ability and seeming desire to do the dirty work in the corners. He is toxic to the second line and he is most certainly NOT a third or fourth line player. CUT him, trade him, get rid of him. He does not have a place on this Rangers team.”

That’s one tough B***h!!! Right, but tough.

oh Lordy, give it to the NHL to figure out how to use Crosby in a commercial even after he lost the Cup, way to not use the winners… just the loser…

and he has a clothing line at the NHL store too!
