I would agree, except that is total bullpoop.

that was a wild season series... seems pretty scripted that we'll get blown out by them tonight, jvr hat trick.
- Don'tForgetTocchet

Heaven help this board if that happens.

Is there any chance that Schenn and (suck it) Phaneuf go at it tonight? I have heard many a leafs fan say that the disdain they have for each other is of the purest form...


Also, Rinaldo has been pretty dominant in his fights to date... I pray he goes no where near that monster Orr. That guy has a few screws loose. Every time he fights I feel like I am watching a Civil War documentary... Guy lines up, waits to get hit and then..... sdfhjkhngabhdfaghneyityayvfynhaiu

Phaneuf would pummel him. I would dress sestito instead of Feds tonight. Anyone else not like Feds and talbot together? They kind of do the same thing for a line

BINGO! Had that exact though watching the game yesterday (had to dvr it). He always seems to be in the right spot.. Would a line of Read-G-Briere be small? Absolutely, but all three players play big. I would entertain it for a few games.

People won't be happy until a big name like Ryan, Iginla, Perry, Kessel, etc. is lining up next to G. Funny thing is, so far Read has 5 goals and Ryan, Iginla, Perry and Kessel have 8 combined.

I would agree, except that is total bullpoop.

Reputations are earned.

He's going to have to work his ass off to get a new one.

Hey pal.. non of that in here. What do you think this is, some kind of a Rangers fan zone? Rangersfananon? Get out of town.

he's had a couple of outbursts, but he hasn't really played enough NHL games to have a reputation imo. What he has done in the minors should have no bearing on NHL referees.

You gonna cheer for us tonight?

he has a pretty big reputation lol. i think every fan of any team knows rinaldo as a scumbag. he's pulled some cheap antics up in the show already.

Should be a good game tonight. It will be weird seeing Schenn.

He's a loose cannon.

He's not a choir boy, but his role is to play with energy and an edge. There hasn't been a bigger POS in the NHL over the last 10-15 years than Avery.

Trade has worked out nicely for both teams thus far.

What exactly has he done to "earn" a reputation. He came in to the league, hell the AHL, and just because of the way he plays the game he was not going to get the benefit of the doubt... I understand that. But what has he done to cause the witchhunt? He has 4 minor penalties on the season... 3 of which I can say are BS.

On a side note... just looking over the penalties so far this season... Brady Cobhorn leads the team with 13 minors. The next two (Taebo and Sidmans have 12 combined)

Fedetenko and Talbot are well suited to play together on a checking line. Luke Schenn is a pretty big guy. I think he can handle himself against Phaneuf.

He finishes everything he does out on the ice. Whether or not he wins.

care to elaborate? Try not to use the whole (he punched Crombeen when he was down, bec thats bs)

Rinaldo has done less dirty stuff than Briere.

Coburn has to play with a little more discipline. He's in the sin bin way too much.

I was thinking the same thing.. Phaneuf isnt the worlds best fighter.. hell Hartnell handled him pretty well.

I like both players but I think their better utilized being split up. They are the same size. L schenn is not a fighter and it won't be pretty

I'm more concerned with Orr taking liberties tonight if the game becomes one sided.

He's not a choir boy, but his role is to play with energy and an edge. There hasn't been a bigger POS in the NHL over the last 10-15 years than Avery.
- PLindbergh31

first off, in case you weren't aware, avery is no longer on the rangers and hasn't been for a while so that statement is irrelevant.

second, what about matt cooke? avery might've said some things to guys but he never pulled a matt cooke (or a rinaldo) and injured them/jeopardized their career.

as for rinaldo's role... i get it. he's supposed to be a bottom 6 energy player that throws the body and fights when he has to. but that doesn't mean he's not a scumbag also. he throws cheapshots and blindside hits a lot. whenever a hockey fan thinks of rinaldo they automatically associate words like scumbag, cheapshotter, matt cooke to him. if you youtube rinaldo cheapshots like 3 vids come up right away....and isn't this only rinaldo's 2nd season?

Coburn has to play with a little more discipline. He's in the sin bin way too much.
- PLindbergh31

I love coby. But seriously he needs a Plan when he comes in to pinch instead of throwing a weak wrister towards the slot. it's happened multiPle times resulting In odd man rushes

- jak521

you're acting like rinaldos an angel. he's already been suspended for charging in his rookie season!!! he's got vids on youtube titled "Zac Rinaldo Cheapshot" and "Zac Rinaldo Blindside Hit". not to mention all the little poop he does that doesn't get uploaded or remembered.

do you really wonder where this reputation comes from?

i'm not saying i wouldn't want this dude on the 4th line of the rangers (although seriously i don't) or that he isn't an effective player but his reputation is earned. that's all i'm saying.
