Comments on: Back to business (Updated) http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/21/back-to-business/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:27:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Joe in DE http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/21/back-to-business/#comment-105068 Joe in DE Tue, 21 Oct 2008 21:54:53 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/21/back-to-business/#comment-105068 I'd like to see these lines in the next game: Dawes-Gomez-Callahan Voros-Dubinsky-Zherdev Naslund-Drury-Prucha Sjostrom-Betts-Orr Drury is not a sniper, he's gonna get hard working goals down in front of the net, much like Voros has done. I think that has a lot to do with our shot/goal disparity lately. NHL goaltenders are so good, if they can see it, they're gonna stop it. Voros has created that havoc in front of the net. Drury likes to get in front, pay the price, and get deflection/rebound goals. I think we can pair the Drury line with Redden's defensive pair. The reason being is that Gomez can rush through the neutral zone and isn't as reliant on the outlet pass. Plus any lack of D the Gomez line would have could be supplemented by Callahan, who's a good 2 way player. Redden has a great point shot, and Drury could deflect it, or hunt for the rebound. Mara has a cannon that often goes way wide of the net. Korpi has played well, but I'd like to see what Prucha can do to speed up the Drury line. Naslund has a wicked shot, and he should be instructed to shoot whenever he has the opportunity I’d like to see these lines in the next game:
Dawes-Gomez-Callahan
Voros-Dubinsky-Zherdev
Naslund-Drury-Prucha
Sjostrom-Betts-Orr

Kalinin takes more penalties as well.... THere are more reasons then the goals that Redden is getting a pass for. But still he is being crititicized as well...

I say Dawes, Cally n Dru bc they did well last year and Dawes didn't start off too well, but if he steps it up then I have no problems with him up there. These are the things that happen when you have a few days off, coming off a game that didn't go so well....sucks Mike, yea I agree….I just like throwing things out there once in a while.
