Injury Report: 2013-2014 Injury News Pt. II (2/25: Staal still dealing with back spasms)

[gmerger37]

I think miller needs to be sent down, playing 5 minutes on the 4th line is not going to help him out at all. Screams kreider from last year all over again.

yea they will send Miller down when everyone is healthy. For now Moore in for Mashinter though. AV doesn't trust the guy

As expected, Dominic Moore says he's good to go Saturday at Montreal.

Rick Nash expects to travel with #NYR to Montreal to continue practicing. Says he's looking forward to being on road with teammates again.

Rick Nash tells reporters he is "confident" symptoms are behind him and he is focused on improving his conditioning & returning to lineup

The Rangers are off tomorrow but Nash and Moore will skate.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So much good news. The west has a bunch of beastly teams, but with Nash we should be one of the better teams in the mediocre east, especially with the way we've been playing.

Per Zipay
"Rick Nash, who rotated onto lines, including with Stepan and Kreider, says he felt better than he thought he would...No contact yet"

That line was good late in the Boston series. Nash pass to Kreider in game 4. GWG in OT.

 

[RGY]

Move Zucc to Brassard's wing when Nash returns. Brassard has been less than impressive. Zucc has been hot. Though Brass is generally a playmaker, Zucc could get him some more space to pass or shoot.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

C'mon, AV. Leave Kreider-Stepan-Zuccarello alone. The rest of the lineup is where you want to tweak, at least to start.

 

[RangerBoy]

Nash to Kreider

That line would be a nightmare for opponents.

 

[Inferno]

you can NOT move MZA from that line. You're getting top line production from a guy whose barely been able to stay in the lineup.

keep him there, move Nash to another line.

 

[aufheben]

Brassard needs a finisher, I'd put Nash with him. Don't touch the Stepan line.

Maybe its time to see if MZA has developed into an actual good NHL player.

If he has, he'd be able to lift some guys lower in the lineup.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Nash should replace Callahan in the top 6. With Moore back Boyle can play LW on the third line.

Kreider-Stepan-Zucc
Hagelin-Richards-Nash
Boyle-Brassard-Callahan
Pyatt/Miller/Mashinter-Moore-Dorsett

Kreider-Stepan-Zucc
Hagelin-Richards-Nash
Boyle-Brassard-Callahan

Boyle back in the top 9.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Boyle back in the top 9.

Is that worse than Pyatt in the top 9?

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Boyle back in the top 9.

Somebody has to be there. Might as well be the best of the rest.

 

[Staxgod90]

ik Nash is obviously a Top 6 player on every team in this league but why mess with the chemistry thats going on with the top 2 lines right now?
Put him on a line with Miller/Pouliot thats centered by Brassard and have Boyle-Moore-Dorsett as the 4th line.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Nash should be brought along slowly. The 3rd line is fine.

His minutes are limited, and maybe your best forward can spark the two duds in Brassard and Pouliot.

 

[Raspewtin]

Leave that friggin Stepan line alone please.

However, a majority of the chemistry is between Zucc and Kreider. Stepan is riding shotgun, in my opinion to them.

If that line is going to be broken up, bring back the Hagelin-Stepan-Nash line. Put Zucc and Kreider with Brassard. He really needs a spark.

I think miller needs to be sent down, playing 5 minutes on the 4th line is not going to help him out at all. Screams kreider from last year all over again.

Agree, they need to figure out how to get JT more ice time or send him down. However, I was at the game last night and Pouliot could not have played worse. He cannot accept the puck to his stick; his passes are way off and he is falling way too much for such a strong skater. He is playing very tight and that is not helping. I think he needs to sit and watch and find a way to relax.

 

[Bardof425*]

Maybe its time to see if MZA has developed into an actual good NHL player.

If he has, he'd be able to lift some guys lower in the lineup.

Is it really still debatable. He's a player. Do you go to games? He's even better in person where you can see how great his positioning is and how smart he is on the forecheck.

Kreider-Stepan-Zucc
Hagelin-Richards-Nash
Boyle-Brassard-Callahan
Pyatt/Miller/Mashinter-Moore-Dorsett

Boyle on 4th line please. Miller, Pouliot or Dorsett is a better option for the 3rd line.
