With Staal out and Eminger benched, the bottom pairing becomes a problem

Last night, Marc Staal was a last-minute scratch from Game Four, forcing Steve Eminger back into the lineup. In Games One and Two, Eminger got enough ice time to give the others a rest, playing 10 minutes in Game One and 14 minutes in Game Two. After sitting out Game Three (with Staal in the lineup), Eminger played just six minutes in Game Four, and...

Rangers Agree to Terms With Eminger
The #NYR have agreed to terms with free agent defenseman Steve Eminger— New York Rangers (@thenyrangers) September 10, 2012
Eminger had 2g, 3a in 42 games last year. He also played in four playoff games without registering a point....got to admit I'm a bit surprised with the signing. While I like Eminger as a veteran 7th defenseman, I was looking for the Rangers sign a player...
Eminger for Bickel Swap Needs to Happen
There is no point in continuing to keep Stu Bickel in the lineup.
I'm not saying that because he is of no use to the team or because he's been a liability out on defense since neither of those, for the most part, are true. I'm saying it because quite simply, the coaching staff does not use him. Last night's 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals fell just five minutes...

Although Hags and Mitchell did have some chemistry when they were first called up....also don't like Prust with Richards. Not exactly the...
