I remember it all from the message board earlier in the year: Trade Gomez. Trade Jagr. Fire Renney.
What everyone forgot to really factor in were the injuries to Martin Straka and Sean Avery. Straka has provided world-class play in all three zones since his return from a broken finger; Avery, is, well, Avery, a remarkable factor in the team's chemistry.
Imagine if Straka-Gomez-Jagr were a line all year? In the first 20 minutes tonight, how good have they been?
And Chris Drury----who's had to take a back seat to Jagr and Brendan Shanahan in the dressing room---is superb on faceoffs and will contribute more offensively in the second half.
As for tonight, if the Rangers can avoid the penalty box against a crafty PP, they should win their 20th of the season.
A real good effort so far after the Toronto game...More after 2

steve why does the 4th line play so much
because they can and do shut down the opponent's top line
