Thoughts on Torts’ even strength and power play line changes

PLAYERS: Brad Richards,  Ryan Callahan,  Dan Girardi,  Marian Gaborik,  Anton Stralman,  Derek Stepan,  Michael Del Zotto
TEAMS: New York Rangers
According to Andrew Gross at Rangers Rants, Torts juggled the line combos today at practice with both his even strength and power play units. Gross reported the following line combos: Nash-Richards-Gaborik Hagelin-Stepan-Callahan Pyatt-Boyle-Ferriero Rupp-Halpern-Asham Should these lines stay in tact, it appears Hagelin is moving up the second line and Pyatt is going back to the third. These lines on paper make sense. However, Hagelin has to get going in order to keep his spot in the top 6. I hope Ferriero is able to stick in the line up tomorrow. I don’t know how everyone else feels, but I would like to see more of him. I thought he displayed some good foot speed against Toronto and he played well along the boards. He’s generously listed at 5’11 195 lbs, so he’s on the smaller side for a bottom six player. However, if the kid can compete at both ends of the ice, then this may be a good pick up for the Blueshirts. On to the power play… Gross had the new power play lines as well, wh...

Marian Gaborik: Still Important to the Rangers' Success

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  January 28, 2013
Through five games, Marian Gaborik—not Rick Nash—has been the most efficient offensive force on the Rangers, tallying five goals and three assists. Should that surprise you? Not at all, because all Gaborik has done with the Rangers, when healthy, is produce.
