You're only good for NY Islanders FB page.. Although I have to admit, those were amazing.

surprised they are sitting Buch... any chance its because they are close to a deal including him? IDK how AV can bench Buch while playing him on the 4th line. he needs scorers around him.

If the Rangers were planning on trading Buch they wouldn't have been playing him 7 mins on the 4th line the last few games

I totally forgot about that guy. Wonder if he's still reviewing game tape and posting about it.

I think Buch whether he was on the 2nd line or 4th line has had a rough go of it the last couple weeks. It happens. I'm guessing AV's thinking is to bring in one of Pirri or Pimples because you don't want them sitting too long.

Dan was supposed to reach out to him and have him write a blog for you guys.

That would have been the best blog all time on HB.

Could be the awful ice quality is a factor. Didn't Nash get a groin injury last time there and the poor ice was the reason for it...?

I was thinking this, also he just doesn't fit on the 4th line. Give him a few games off with the Isles and Caps coming up and see if we can put him back in somewhere.

yep, and I have brought this up several times in other places

but, people remind me that the MSG ice as well and we have no right to complain

That's a huge misconception. This is no longer the 1980s. The Garden ice has been in the top 5 and top 10 for the past few years. The league now sends Dan Craig around and he writes them all up reviews and rates them.

Too bad the ship wasn't named the Valeri Kharlamov, had it reached Canada they could have just called on Bobby Clarke to take it out

makes sense, future considerations for a 34 YOY righty making $1.4M seams like a decent deal. not sure how good he is though. seems to have decent size.

SNY Rangers blog had posted all the games they were scouting last week, they took in 3 Reign games

yea i hear you. i just dont get why Buch sits but Lindberg and Fast keep playing. Buch is clearly more talented than those 2. I suppose we have to throw this up to too many decent forwards.

very interesting, didn't see that

sounds like Capitals beat them to it, or NYR didn't like what they saw
