  • Well, that was a relief.
  • Seriously, though. Six goals? In this economy?
  • Quite a difference that having something more resembling the intended lineup for this team made, eh?
  • If you've been listening to the podcast—and if you haven't, what's wrong with you?!—you'll know that I've been a strong advocate of Gabe Perreault spending the season, or at least the majority of it in the AHL. The AHL is a developmental league, and Perreault's development is very important for the future of the Rangers. But, between the ::gestures broadly:: general lack of consistent offensive prowess, Perreault's solid performance in Harford so far, and both the opportunity and apparent intention or giving him top line minutes as well as power play time? Then, yeah. F**k it, we roll.
