See, last blog I said I didn't mind Fast coming back into the lineup over Buch bc I think he's better suited for a 4th line role. But u can't sit here any say he should be on the 3rd line over Buch. Could it be adjusted during the game? Sure. But this is what gets me going about Fast.

I have not seen one person mention, not one, that the Rangers are playing back to back nights and it is very likely that AV just doesn't want to play Buchnevich back to back nights when he doesn't have to, there are loads of healthy forwards now.

It's a valid supposition and one I can add to the blog. But no way to prove it unless Buch plays tomorrow and AV cites the back to back as a reason why that forward sits.

I don't think it's bc he doesn't want to play him in back to backs, I think he's been inconsistent. Buch will work his way into the top 6 in a year or 2 but right now he's not there. I don't get Fast on the 3rd line but I agree with keeping Glass in the lineup, think he's been pretty good and think a 4th line of Glass Lindberg Fast could be good.

Fast also had a simple but highly effective play on Stepan's OT winner in game 7.

My reasoning was that Glass had brought something lacking to the lineup - grit and effort - which likely afforded him a spot over the pair of more talented singers.-FROM BLOG...

Wow Jan, what style do they sing, pop, rock, reggae?

twitter blows up......not fast enuff.... what a waste of time....
How can u try to out coach AV & his plans ....
How he experiments with 12 gms left is his ....
we never are in a position of prepping for P O's ?
for whatever reason we have a sweet slot were in compared to the grinder waiting for us ..if we move up a slot or 2 it wont be because we went after it...
Other teams losing & we play with our chemistry set of 15 fwd & 8 dmen
if we play 500 for rest of season & get healthy & find out some great lines & D combos ... thats what were doing ..
Nit interested in who sits or plays NOW..... its all geared to rotate to find the best of all for the teams run....
Glass is going to be a piece to the puzzle... for all that said trade for toughies
we got one of the toughest & will know how to play right for Av's NYR's
Opinions: Like A holes :everyone has them & they usually stink

going to st patty's gm tonite : sittin on the bridge 50 yd line if any one wants
to meet for a beverage in game of after ? Erin go Bragh(Bra)less please ......

The same tired BS will be brought up the 1st game they lose in the playoffs. Might as well get used to it.

No issue with Buch watching a few games from the press box. He has looked lost out there for long stretches, so let him sit for a couple. Glass brings more to the lineup right now than Buch does. When that shine wears off, then we'll talk.
Glad to see Fast back in. More dependable than Buch too. Kind of a toss up whether to sit Buch or Vesey, but Vesey definitely brings more to the bench than Buch right now.

Hard to believe the trade deadline was this late in the year at that time, I think that deal went down at 5 pm & both players switched lockerooms. Crazy scene.

Yes, I think they had over 60 shots that night & Bill Ranford stood on his head, that was the beginning of the demise of that season, Leetch got hurt & they lost like 11 out of 12 to end that yr, awful.

Did he explain to you that sometimes, even though you were born in one jersey, you just happen to identify with another jersey?

That was a taboo topic back then, not openly discussed like nowadays.

It's easier to block people out during playoffs because I become serious TPC and just care about winning...Kreider stuff takes a back seat

Whatever helps them win, but is that necessary?
