Rangers News: Sean Avery targeting tomorrow return

I think it depends on what team we’re playing….if we’re a playing a team that is big and physical I would say keep Boyle-Brashear-Voros together, because they have been pretty effective and are big and can certainly play physical.

If we’re playing a team that likes to play an up-tempo offensive type of game I say we take out Voros (bad skater) and keep Lisin who has great speed and good offensive instincts. In the mean time we still have 2 big bodies in the line up in Brashear and Boyle and we can put them out there when we need some physical play

it will be interesting to see if he gets the Assistant captian

I agree 100% that lisin should be scratched for Avery, Voros has been playing much better than Lisin thus far and size is good to have right now Avery replaces anything lisin could do and then some. Plus now we have an aggressive player to go along with that style, with Avery bringing in your face hockey with hitting, fighting, and scoring, the identity of the team in my book. That’s also why he’ll wear an A tomorrow. :)

Even if Avery is not coming back tomorrow I’d be interested to see these lines:
Prospal-Dubinsky-Gaborik
Higgins-Drury-Kotalik
Avery-Anisimov-Callahan
Lisin-Boyle-Brashear

I think that there is 3 strong lines there. I know that people don’t want to see Cally on the 3rd line but honestly if the chemistry works out then the 2nd line could interchangable here. I only suggest this because I feel like outside of the top line we aren’t really generating much. I think it would do a little good to try Kotalik with Drury, who all ready have chemistry. And Cally would be great influence on Anisimov. Plus it would be a fun line to watch.
Of course just playing around with the idea.

I haven’t been a fan of Voros but have to say the 4th line has played pretty well together so far. Lisin, while he has speed, has no defensive sense.

I’d put Avery in Lisin’s spot and leave the lines as is.
Avery can give a little grit to the 3rd line while giving AA room to create chances and draw guys to him so Kotalik can get cannon blasts off (hopefully hitting the net.)

put avery in lisins spot.

if were playing games that will be up tempo lisin can be used instead of voros most likely.

and id like to see kotalik with drury and higgins. and callhan with anisimov and avery.

they can be the 2nd and 3rd lines, either way u want it, and play about the same amount of time.

Prospal-Dubinsky-Gaborik
Higgins-Drury-Kotalik
Avery-Anisimov-Callahan
Brashear-Boyle-Voros/Lisin
