There was a look at the roster
moves the New York Rangers announced after last night’s game done this
morning. The big news was the activation
of Ryan Callahan and Vinny Prospal from IR along with which five players were
sent back to the Connecticut Whale.
Inside I looked at why one should not read too much into the Prospal
activation and which of the Whale players who just went back might be back
before the Rangers play another game.
One name that was not in among those down to the AHL was
Mats Zuccarello-Aasen. It was not a
surprise to see him kept up with the NHL club, but I believe that while unofficial
it represents an announcement that Zuccarello is here to stay. Inside I look at how and why Zuccarello has
earned that to be the case along with how the question has changed from will he
stay to whom will he be staying to play with.
Finally I took a look at once the Rangers forwards finally get back to
full strength what those line combinations could look like and how to best
distribute the minutes.
Speaking of Zuccarello there was a post that contains a link
to a webpage where you can control
the way an animated Zuke dances by controlling both his arms and legs. If you run the program long enough more
versions of him will appears as background dancers as well. Absolutely hilarious.
Sean
Avery put his naked body on t-shirts to help raise awareness and funding
for Cancer research. The story has a
photo of the shirts, what the cause is for and who is behind it. I am sure there will be criticism of Avery
for doing it and the questioning of his motives, but no matter why he did it, I
hope it helps because it is a good cause to promote.
The only other thing today was the Rangers
Guardian was finally revealed. Check
it out for yourself and be disappointed as has seemingly every fan base during
this catastrophe.
