JOHN MOORE RUMORS & GOSSIP
No Staal; Moore Loses Teeth; Off Ice Adjustments Needed; Redden Game Time Decision
Same lines same d-pairs for Rangers. No Marc Staal on ice. Matt Gilroy is the seventh d-man on ice.

...and Staal not practicing with the team is exactly why I didn't get excited about him skating yesterday. I've all but stopped expecting him back in the playoffs.
...no news on Clowe isn't very encouraging either...
Moore Making Most of Opportunity With Rangers
Glen Sather has made a habit out of stealing secondary players in trades (see McDonagh and Prust). And now, with every game that passes it looks like John Moore is going to be added to that list. Here's John Tortorella on the defenseman (via Bergen Record)...

When the Rangers traded Marian Gaborik to the Columbus Blue Jackets at the deadline this year, the concern was adding more grit and toughness to the lineup. Having already added Ryane Clowe, the attention turned to what Derick Brassard and Derek Dorsett bring to the group. John Moore was something of a mystery player. He wasn’t a throw in by any stretch...
Is It Time for More Power Play Minutes for Moore?
During last night's 4-2 loss in Philadelphia, John Moore, once again, displayed a smooth skating game that included a sweet pass through the neutral zone to spring Mats Zuccarello for the Rangers first goal. He even showed a little of that snarl he's been working on with Schoenfeld coming to the defense of Ryan Callahan.

The new guys: Could they be upgrades over those departed in the offseason?
Tough as nails, pretty solid defensively too.
When the Rangers sent draft picks to San Jose and Marian Gaborik to Columbus for Ryane Clowe, Derick Brassard, Derek Dorsett, and John Moore, it was very clear what the Rangers were doing. They were addressing their black holes of lineup depth and lineup toughness. But, one thing that was floating under the radar was play without the...

Every team has one, and every team needs one, especially in a condensed season like this one. Its the pipeline, the conduit that produces replacement talent to the NHL club when openings are created through injuries, illnesses, etc.

Jackets' Aucoin showing Moore the ropes
I come from a family of conscientious, talented teachers, so Im a big fan of the profession. And Ive always been especially impressed by teachers who not only know their subject, but theyve lived it; theyve applied their knowledge in the real world and become better teachers for the experience.
