Comments on: As for hockey http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/13/as-for-hockey/ 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: Charlie http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/13/as-for-hockey/#comment-103096 Charlie Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:34:01 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/13/as-for-hockey/#comment-103096 You may have to reconsider the 3rd line configuration (and maybe the top line), they have NO points playing together and only 1 (Cally's empty net) point in total, the 4th line has more points than the 3rd line with 25% less ice time. Although Korpi has been quick, he is not creating enough offense, and I know changing the winger every game can't be helping but that is Renney's decision and he knows the consequences. We are basically a 1 line team at this point, our specialty teams are why we are winning.

They didn't even have a fucking stretcher he had to be carried off by his teammates unbelievable. To see his legs just dangling there(as he's carried off) was stomach churning. I saw his last shift on you tube and really nothing happened no hits no nothing. Just saw the video of the doctors working on Cherepanov after he collapsed I wish I hadn’t watched.

Gomez and Naslund have been very quiet since the first two games. The supposed second line has been just amazing. Voros must be feeling great beating up on the team that gave up on him. Dubi has been about as good as any player in the league so far. I can't say enough good things about Staal. I would say his game never jumps out at you but he makes a hundred subtle plays that helps you win. He makes a poke check breaking up a forecheck or he spins away from the forecheck and makes a good clearing pass. Girardi is nearly as strong in his own end and he's a very smart player in the offensive zone. Nice to see Cally get rewarded for his swashbuckling game with an empty netter. Hank once again outclassed Brodeur in net. Amazing that they’re 5-0 considering Drury is has added nothing. Gomez and Naslund have been very quiet since the first two games.

Bless his family the team and the entire Russian league. Very very sad news of Cherpanov, I am shocked that someone so young and so athletic can just go like that.
