Injury Report: Kevin Klein - Post #1 For All Updates: Klein says he's good to go!

[Khelvan]

I thought other teams fans hated us because the Rangers signed a lot of free-agents yet still played like crap, because we were perceived to have driven up the salary prices in the league, and because there is at times a general mistrust of New Yorkers.

I didn't think our fans had a bad name because of something one guy said that is rarely said.

There is no one reason why a fanbase gets a reputation. This is one of many.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

when is this guy gonna play man

 

[LeetchisGod]

Really miss him on the pk. Boyle is a liability there.

 

[bl02]

I laughed when people said we wouldn't miss him. Hunwick is average and Boyle is a mess. Lets be honest we aren't playing the 2009 penguins and those two guys are still having a myriad of problems

 

[trilobyte]

Each game without Klein makes me wish even harder that he gets strength back in his hand. That will come, but I wonder when it will be good enough. Have to wait for that. Patience can be so hard.

Edit: hand/arm/appendage/limb whatever

 

[PromNite]

We need you back, Klein.

Which, by the incontrovertible laws of logic, means that he'll be playing in game four. Unless they want him hanging around with the boys and like to waste airfare.

What airfare are they wasting. The team has its own private plane.

Gas and food then. They're wasting something if he goes to Pittsburgh and doesn't play.

will probably play game 4 then?

 

[Hockeyplayer99]

There meals are probably free anyway, and what gas. They stay in the hotel prob close to the arena. They are not wasting any money on Klein being there. Just hope he is back for game 4

 

[Nanaki]

will probably play game 4 then?

If he's traveling with the team it probably means he's not too far off.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Probably will skate with team today or tomorrow with possibility of playing in game four.

I love how my little joke became a topic for discussion. Hope he plays in game 4.

“@AGrossRecord: Kevin Klein on the ice for full Rangers' morning skate. First time in full practice with teammates since breaking left arm on March 11.”

Thats good news......

 

[Sirius Vivace]

He & Shep are still a scratch for tonight, though....right?

 

[bl02]

in the perfect world Klein and Shep in and any two of these liabilities out (Boyle, Hunwick, MSL, Glass). Of those 4 i would say Hunwick is the least of our worries

After game 1, AV admitted that Boyle had a bad game, but was confident in him. Check out the Defensive TOI for our D guys in Game 2. It's clear who AV considers a liability:

26:26 McD
23:01 Boyle
20:20 Giradi
17:51 Staal
16:45 Yandle (but had to leave game for awhile)
11:24 Hunwick

This shows me that AV has little faith in Hunwick and may consider him a liability; while he feels that Boyle is a "Go-To" D guy. Boyle was pretty much responsible for letting Hornqvist shoot up between him & MSL for the Crosby rebound goal in Game 2, but I don't think AV is going to change. Boyle will continue to get big minutes and little faith will be put in Hunwick. Hunwick gets low ice-time every game.

“@stevezipay: Kevin Klein says he's close to returning. Pain lessening, strength in broken left arm improving. Waiting to get to 100 percent”

If he waits a few more days, he may have all summer to get to 100%

 

[KingWantsCup]

Waiting for 100%? Who do you think you are? D Rose?? It's the playoffs for God's sake. If you're close to 100% just play man come on!

Boyle and Hunwick are getting almost identical ES minutes. Boyle gets PP and PK time. PIT took a ton of penalties. That's where the big discrepancy in ice time is coming from.
