Boyle tends to play well against Ottawa... Players always have teams that they do well against.

I bet Boyle has a good game tonight.
 
why do people think boyle will be taken out for zucc? it will most likely be pyatt. at least boyle is a good pker

Well as of right now nobody is being taken out for Zuccarello, and that is a serious mistake. He skated today, he should skate tomorrow and Saturday AM and should be inserted into the lineup Saturday night. Waive Pyatt if you there's no trade market for him and get Zucc's in.

Knowing Torts though? Zucc doesn't play a game for the Rangers this season ;) He's an RFA at year's end and has no contract in Russia. I hope he has the opportunity to show the Rangers why they should be keeping him around.
 
i want one good reason why zucc isnt in over pyatt

Because the team desperately needs momentum and points and they're coming off their most complete effort of the season, granted it was against a defensively inept opponent. Also, because Zucc is a scorer who should play with some talent and Pyatt is a grinder who should be on the fourth line. Putting Zucc on the fourth isn't going to do him or the team any favors.

1. Bench Pyatt
2. Move Boyle off 2/3 RW and Insert Zucc
3. ????
4. Profit
 
Boyle has been money on face offs this year. With Halpern gone, the Rangers need to keep a guy who can win face offs in the lineup. Boyle won't be the first choice to sit for just that reason

I'll give torts the benefit of the doubt on this for now since MZA has been in NA for a day and we won pretty decisively (give or take a few minutes in the third) last game. I'd still rather see Zucc in the lineup, especially on the powerplay. He and Powe at least can play special teams. Pyatt just looks like a zombie out there.

Regardless, Let's Go Rangers! If we win I couldn't care less who we're icing.

I don't like this line of thinking at all. Not one bit. I want the best players dressed at all times. Pyatt has done nothing to help this team, he should take the seat.
 
Why move Boyle when Richards, who this team desperately needs to get going, just had his best game between Boyle and Kreider?

because the great brian boyle is the one responsible for richards having a good game against a terribad opponent :shakehead

him playing RW isnt exactly helping anyone

This. We just went through a couple weeks of *****ing that Torts had separated Hags-Steps-Nash, and now that suddenly Richards had a good game between Kreider and Boyle we want to alter the chemistry? Argue all you want about whether Boyle contributed anything to that line/on Kreider's goal but why not at least give them another shot? If it's not working you can bet Torts will switch it up before the end of the first period.

They played a lot of terribad opponents that Richards didn't have good games against. This team is going to live and die with Richards this year. I don't care if he plays best with Asham on one wing and a broom on the other, play him with whoever he works with and try to get him going.

I don't think Zucc is better than Pyatt when it comes to grinding with Asham and Newbury. If there's a top 9 opening, Zucc should be in it over Pyatt. For fourth line duty, I'd rather have Pyatt.
