Rangers News: Bruce Not So Chatty

PrintIt sounds like no Mike Knuble for the Capitals tonight, although all of a sudden, Caps Coach Bruce Boudreau doesn't feel like talking: (Ranger Rants)
"I’m not going to talk about any players today," Boudreau said, before adding that Knuble’s gear was at his locker.
However, his Capitals’ players essentially answered the question for Boudreau as Eric Fehr, a healthy scratch the first three games, talked about rejoining the lineup and Jason Chimera talked about being on the top line with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom in Knuble’s spot.
Bruce also was tight-lipped when asked about Madison Square Garden, you can see Boudreau's non-answers by clicking the link above.
John Tortorella told the media no personnel changes for the Rangers, so Steve Eminger sits again tonight. Eminger filled in admirably all season long, wherever and whenever the Rangers needed him, but I don't think Matt Gilroy has done anything to warrant him coming out of the lineup.
Major props to Torts, by the way, for staying out of the whole Boudreau thing. Tortorella saw first hand in 2009 how a coach can become a distraction in a playoff series, good job by him of just keeping quiet and focusing on the task at hand.
Marian Gaborik, tonight would be a good night.
See you all in the game thread, which are usually pretty noisy in their own right.
How's your playoff mustache coming along?

Cannot wait for this game. I’m facial hair- challenged so I look more like Crysby than Dubi.
And because its 4/20 we know Dubi is going to have a monster game if all is right in the world. No I do not smoke.

My playoff mustache is somewhere between pitiful and embarrassing. But I am not shaving it. It should compliment my Lincoln-like beard well when it grows in though.
No Knuble huh? That’s good news for tonight. Knuble may be old but he knows how to play postseason hockey, he is a warhorse of a power forward. Besides, one less former Ranger to worry about is always a good thing.
I can’t wait to see where Dubi’s ’stache is tonight. I am guessing it might be close to Selleck-quality. We can only hope.

Everybody called me crazy when I said last off season the Rangers should have signed Knuble, I’ve always liked his game.

On a one year deal, for some leadership on this young team? He would have been great. I have nothing against picking up veterans for affordable contracts (Vinny Prospal). It adds a lot of character and leadership to the team. It looked to me from 24/7 that the real captain of the Capitals in the locker room is Knuble, he is very vocal.

Bruce is a B***ch!
"You guys are asking questions that are non-hockey questions," said Boudreau, adding the focus should be on the series and that the media had blown his comments "out of proportion." "I’m not going to talk about it anymore."
Apparently when he insulted NYR Fans & MSG itself it’s “Hockey Talk”
Unfortunately I live in Utah now so can’t help, but make it loud in the garden tonight guys!!
We win tonight I can fell it.
The 23 is for Jeff Beukeboom, not Chris Drury ! LMAO
Ootah? Did you lose a bet or something?

No For work
Couldn’t pass up Promotion & More money LOL

I’ll be at the game tonight, my first Ranger playoff game ever, actually my first playoff game in any sport. I’ll contribute to the decibel level to the utmost of my ability. If we can jump on them early, the crowd and Neuvirth’s failing confidence could lead to a nice, comfortable win for once. We deserve that.

I’ll be there too. MSG should be rocking. This is my wife’s first NHL playoff game too (she’s been to regular season Ranger games). I had her watch some of the Chicago-Van game last night. When Chicago scored a couple of back to back goals I turned up the volume on the TV and told her to imagine what it’s actually like to be there.

It took me a while to think of Bruce’s twin…Mickey Rooney…but that chimney toilet pick from Family Guy is what helped me to remember. I also thought of the guy from Tenacious D or Joe Besser.
a deleted scene from NHL 24/7 where we find Alex Ovechkin and Bruce Boudreau go over more intense game plans

In his defense
he doesn’t owe anyone an explanation as to why someone is in/out of the lineup.
If I was a cap fan, I would want to know, but really who cares?
That green pic above this is kinda funky, what the hell is it?
I’m thinking if MSG does those Subway advertisements on the glass at each end Bruce might leave the stadium mid-game to go get some food.
