2011 New York Rangers Training Camp: Sauer Makes Comeback In Second Scrimmage; Dubinsky/Callahan Shine

PrintThe second scrimmage of the day kicked off, with Green facing off against the Blue team. To everyone's surprise, Michael Sauer suited up, and took to the ice in the second scrimmage. He sure made his presence known, after he stuffed a rebound past Marty Biron to make it 1-0 Blue really early. The original shot came from Carl Hagelin.
The physicality kicked in as Brandon Dubinsky laid a monster check on Sean Avery. Avery took a look back to see who it was, and left it alone. Along with that Dan Girardi took a shot off the hand, shook it off, and didn't miss a single shift. Still the same old Girardi we know and love.
The Callahan and Dubinsky tandem connected on a slick give and go play, and Callahan put it past Biron. Remind anyone of the overtime winner in Pittsburgh last season?
According to Andrew Gross, Mike Sauer is having himself a great game. He knows when to join the rush, and gets back in time, to avoid getting caught. It's great to see Sauer come back, and make an immediate impact on the ice. Artem Anisimov got Green on the board, lifting a rebound over the sprawling Cam Tablot. In a made scramble in the dying seconds, J.T. Miller gets off a shot, but it's gloved down by Talbot, and Blue wins 2-1.
Overall seems like a solid performance by the boys once again. The stand-outs for me were Sauer, Dubinsky, and Callahan. Thoughts on this?

Good to hear Sauer returned and played well
He’s great in his own end and always in smart with his pinching. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him put up 25 points this year. Good also to hear Dubi and Cally be in vintage form.

According to Jesse Spector
Stepan hasn’t clicked with Dubi and Cally. I’d keep AA with those guys.

That’s because they aren’t accustom to playing with a play making center with vision and passing skills. I’d pay money to see AA have an egg catching contest with Boyle. The two of them have some real dog shit passing skills in my book.

Maybe Boyle is (I’m not convinced), but AA is a fantastic passer.

Gross said just the opposite:
the Dubinsky-Stepan-Callahan line looked really good on Blue’s second goal, an odd-man rush up ice that Dubinsky led leading to a give-and-go goal from the left for Callahan.

Tomorrow after practice. We’ll have it up as soon as we hear it.

Could someone please enlighten me regarding Valentenko’s waivers? I thought there is a certain deadline by which he can be put on the AHL roster without having to pass through waivers. Is this true, and what date?
Thanks
Not that it helps but I remember someone has to go down before Wednesday to avoid waivers, not sure if it was vtank tho

Love one of our experts to chime in, seems to be a ton of confusion. I pray it is not use him or lose him, right now.
It is indeed Valentenko that has to pass through waivers.

Because I like reading between the lines (pun)....from Andrew Gross
A day after coach John Tortorella said you can and you cannot read into the line combinations, Christensen centered Hagelin and Christian Thomas while Sean Avery again skated with John Mitchell plus first-rounder J.T. Miller for the Green team. Avery, because of his passing and skating skills, seems to have some chemistry with Mitchell, which is probably a good thing for Mitchell and not so great for Avery.
