Avery is one of the few people who have had fairly good efforts over this horrible stretch.

I guess Boudreaus's tendency is to juggle but on this request he didn't and the caps lines have gotten some real chemisty and they are on fire.<br /><br />Second I was forced to watch the Carolina broadcast last night and one thing that was mentioned is how the Rangers spent a whole practice focusing on the power play and then the first power play of the game used completely different line then they practiced with!?!<br /><br />WTF, scotty said it right Juggling hasn't worked for the better part of two seasons, based on the all the experimentation pick the lines that have produced the best and leave them to develop some chemistry. The drop passes to no one, the missed passes, being out of position, not saying this wouldn't happen but I can certainly say playing with a different group of guys every shift doesn't help....<br /><br />Comments?Kingrich45https://www.blogger.com/profile/13060373683574696113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-36473089173108079972010-01-28T09:50:28.049-05:002010-01-28T09:50:28.049-05:00http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/event.p...http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/event.php?eid=272851463916&ref=ts<br /><br />Fire Sather Rally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-83972363182545549792010-01-28T09:32:29.389-05:002010-01-28T09:32:29.389-05:00I've also been following Pru and I caught a li...I've also been following Pru and I caught a little of that game. They have him on an all Czech line. The line seems to benefit from having similar playing experiences growing up. Pru has 11 goals this season so far. Granted, he won't make it up to 30 like he did in his rookie season with the Rangers. He may not make it to 22, like his second season. But, that's higher than all but 2 Rangers (Gabby and Cally) and it's tied with Dubi. So, at least in the garden, Pru can hold his head high. Though, that isn't saying much. I caught a glimpse of the little Rangers playing during the intermission last night and they looked like a more solid team than the real thing.<br /><br />Any chance Redden will get Kasparitis'd after being benched last night? Brooks is calling for Brashear to be waived. Doubt that will happen.<br /><br />At this point, I say keep Staal, Dubi, Avery, Hank, Hobie and MDZ and just start over from scratch.
