Nooooooo. Just my suggestions. Like adding some grit. Going for a TRUE #1 center, etc.

Sorry Buch lovers but the 4th line for playoff games should be Lindberg centering Fast & Glass.

yup. Buch is a waste on a 4th line - specially in the playoffs.

Vesey already will be in his 1st playoff games, don't need another rookie in there, especially when we could use more piss & vinegar w Glass.

i think it depends whats going on in the series but I somewhat agree and I love Buch

I think this years playoffs AV should be swapping Buch and Vesey in and out depending on how they play, atleast against MTL

I didn't mean to come off like "(frank) Buch", I like him too, just don't see the need for him to be playing sparsely on a 4th line in the playoffs.

The way Mat Bodie panned out in NY may not have helped the Rangers

Ya, they need to move Grabner down to the 4th imo. hes dangerous no matter who hes with and seems like majority of his chance come off the rush so its not like he NEEDS good setup guys like Miller and Hayes to play well. Id rather see Buch get that spot

This. And dare I say it, sit Fast.

Bodie certainly has had good enough numbers to get a chance... Too bad.
What's your opinion about Bodie, Jan?

This. And dare I say it, sit Fast.

Why not, these 5 games are all tune up's anyway. I just want to see a home victory here, or 2 to break that shnide before the playoffs & get Hank in shape & healthy.

wouldnt mind an OT win tonight

get that home win, gives the pens another point so NYR doesnt make up too much ground on them

Give him 1 or 2 to get back into it before the playoffs start.

Wouldn't that be the ultimate d!ck in the ass, we beat the Pens both games here at the end in regulation & somehow end up sneaking into the death bracket while Pitt gets to go to the Atlantic bracket.

I would start Hank at least 4 out of these 5 games, think he needs the games to round back into shape.
