Morning skate: Rolling the same lineup...
....which means Aaron Voros remains in on the left of Brandon Dubinsky and Nik Zherdev and Lauri Korpikoski and Dan Fritsche are out against Montreal (7:30 start
remember)...
Renney on the Canadiens: "They attack hard on the rush, they like to fire pucks off the rush, go hard at the net, there's a little bit more of an attack mentality and that includes a pretty good cycle game."
Amusing observation from Colton Orr when I asked about his hand following his connections with Eric Godard's helmet in the fight Monday: "A lot of people are wondering about that. A head's harder than a helmet."...
So if you're wondering if Renney had ever pulled his goalie down 3-0 for a 6-on-4 PP with seven minutes to play---as Brent Sutter did with the Devils with about seven minutes left last night and kept changing Scott Clemmensen on the fly after that, I was curious also.
"Not here," he said. "We're never down like that," he joked.. He said he was not surprised it worked. "You're not just throwing ---- against the wall, it's a good tactic. They looked like a team that was in a little bit of a flat-line, not quite engaged, your net's empty for a good chunk of time, so it serves as a bit of impetus." The Devs scored on the two-man advantage and then again late, but fell 3-2. "It may not be in the Devils' portfolio, but it's in Sutter's," he said.

hmmm everything your team doesn't do on a consistent basis Tom.
..so basically everything Korprikoski is good at and Voros isn't.
wonderful!
Maybe Prucha won't get another huge goal or assist tonight, or won't draw 2 penalties, or won't be the best forechecker on the ice not named Callahan. Then he'll be benched again for Korpi

Steve, I had to laugh when I saw that last night, given how Pittsburgh did almost the same with over 3 minutes left at MSG Monday. Obviously, Chico didn't watch Monday's game, because he kept saying he'd never seen anything like it. Somehow, I don't see that tactic as one Renney would use, but I will never say 'never'.
I know it's only "cool" to be cynical on this blog right now, but this is a big game tonight.
Maybe some people can get fired up a bit?
Halak is playing for Montreal, he sucks, I predict we will light him up and win this one in rousing fashion tonight.

RC,
I know you couldn't wait to copy and paste that on this blog, you were probably so excited your hands were shaking.
The problem with your glee is that if Cablevision is forced to sell the Garden, the Knicks and the Rangers, it will be the greatest thing to happen since 1994.
New ownership is exactly what the franchise needs, and chances are, the new owners would keep the team in the best arena and best market in the country.
James - it's lunchtime. you have a job to do and that is cleaning tables and throwing out the garbage so your customers have a clean space to eat. that is all you should be focusing on
wow, RC's real name is James!
That's funny when someone screws up like that, I wonder where you also posts as James. I love that, LOL
Wait Tom's using the same lines? Again? For that alone I'm thankful.
That move Sutter made, that's the "wildcat" move of hockey! hey, it works when it works and it doesen't when it doesen't.
Dude is so right, that would actually be a blessing in disguise in selling the Rangers and Knocks. Bring on a new owner like ":THE Donald" Trump, and he'll turn us around so quick your head will spin...remember, everything that man touches turns to Gold, and failure is not an option. Wow, Donald trump as new owner, Craig patrick as new GM, Tortarella as New Coach, and Mark Messier as new asst coach.....hey, I/we are allowed to dream aren't we/I?
See 'ya at the game ta'night Joe [][]\_ _
Steve
You ask Renney a BS question about pulling a goalie. Why don't you ask him a relavent question about the asinine way that he runs this team. maybe he'd start to realize that we fans need answers
Zipay: Hi Tom, why do you run the team in such an assinine way?
Renney: OK, won't answer your questions anymore Steve, take care.
APPARENTLY JAMES DOLAN HAS THE SAME VIEW AS ME.

rc - what are you going to do when your team is the one to move. i will be there at last game. i'll even buy you some tissues and a beer to help you get over that trauma
Dude, great response , I think our news guys ,try to be more friends with Renney and won't ask the right questions
Renny simply is the wrong coach for this team. Sather is simply the wrong GM for this team. Pearn is simply the wrong Ass-istant coach for this team. We are so desperate for a real hard nosed coach to come in and control this team and until that is done, we ain't going anywhere folks....oh, we'll make the playoffs alright but after the 1st round, it'll be curtins for us.
