[LORDE]

you seem to like hanging around in our thread

He's one of us... the avatar is hysterical if you look close.

 

[RiceCooker]

Late to the Party......Is Clowe in or out ??

Late to the Party......Is Clowe in or out ??

nothing official, but sounds like he may be in tonight

I hope that Kreider is in the lineup, but he was skating with the scratches so it concerns me (per Ranger reports at the practice), but hopefully he is in the lineup tonight.

 

[UnderPSI]

The richards scratch makes sense, and is a move I'm glad torts had the balls to make.

But scratching Asham? Guy has performed better than like 90% of our roster in the playoffs and he gets scratched?

Pretty much.

I understand the Richards move but Asham? He has played plenty good, esp for his limited ice time. This is the kinda crap Torts does that puzzles people (Asham).

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Like 40 games late on the scratch.

Now Zipay says Clowe for Kreids

Completely agree on Asham...

Richards - Kinda feel like Torts is giving him an easy way out. But if he planned to play him only 8 minutes it makes sense to put in Haley. Ballsy move.

 

[Boruto]

Here I thought tonight might be BR's last game in an NYR Uni. Nope. Last game was it.

 

[Maineice11]

If Asham is sat for Kreider, i'm okay with it, but if Kreider is scratched then i'll join you all in your lostness...


gotta bring the BOOM tonight!!! It looks like we are going to change the game plan to be PHYSICAL and beat them! I love it!!!!

 

[KingP]

yea just realized

he ok lol

 

[rkhum]

Why is Asham a healthy scratch, why?

 

[Maineice11]

Now Zipay says Clowe for Kreids

nothing official on that though...and all do respect to zip, I like him and think he is a great reporter, his predictions aren't great....earlier at the end of practice he was saying it looks like a fourth line of powe-richards-asham tonight, so i'm waiting for warmups and official words...

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

How much you want to bet the decision to scratch Richards didn't come from Torts. I wouldn't be shocked if that was a demand from the front office....

 

[HAPPY HOUR]

The War Room on NHL Radio has Richards and Asham scratched with Haley and Newbury in.

 

[Boruto]

Sean Avery is now in for Ryan McDonagh. A new era has begun in NY. Nothing will ever be the same.

 

[JohnC]

I'd much rather have Gilroy in than Hamrlik.

You're gonna eat those words when Hamr goes coast to coast and scores on Rask with the triple deke

 

[nevesis]

“@DarrenDreger: The NYR may swallow $24 mil for 14 years by buying Richards out, but there will be teams eager to sign him in summer for $3 mil per x 3 yrs.”

 

[Ryan McDonut]

i laugh when people say we have plenty of dmen. i mean our next best option to step in is matt gilroy or roman hamrlik...

 

[shoothepuck]

Brad can go dig for 7 ml mussels on PEI now. Here's to Haily becoming our Krug in the next few games.

 

[Fitzy]

Asham has been a warrior. I don't understand that move.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

How much you want to bet the decision to scratch Richards didn't come from Torts. I wouldn't be shocked if that was a demand from the front office....

I hope so because that would mean an amnesty.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

It paints a real clear picture of the whole situation when fans are more upset that Arron Asham is scratched then they are about Richards being out.

Anyway, this is an elimination game so all in on vBookie is obligatory.

 

[I Am Chariot]

Like 40 games late on the scratch.

Tomorrow we will probably find out he's been bleeding from his spleen since Christmas

 

[Blueblood9]

Anyone else a little shocked that Kreider isn't bring scratched?

no i actually think hell get more minutes tonight. i have a feeling torts might come in with safe is death mentality and go balls to the wall tonight. i woulnt be shocked to see the line of krieder nash and brass the whole night

 

[I Am Chariot]

Plus if the team just sucks again at least the kids get something out of it. Playoff experience win or lose is good
