Sutter finally called out Elias in the press, stating that he needs to step up for the $$$ he's making. What I don't get is that Tom Giuletti reported that there are no lineup changes for tonight's game.

Marty is awesome. He commands respect for anyone that loves hockey, and two huge saves later, the score could have been 4-0. He is a huge asset that is sorely being compromised by your blueline.

Rachunek sucks. He did as a Ranger, not sure why Lou took him on.

Marty is awesome. He commands respect for anyone that loves hockey, and two huge saves later, the score could have been 4-0. He is a huge asset that is sorely being compromised by your blueline. Sort of like my Ranger’s offense.

If Sutter can get involved in signing the players his system needs than do it NOW, our team has never been this disoriented. Paul Martin...moves the puck good into the offensive zone than freezes up..doesn't shoot or make a good pass...totally frustrating. We all know we have a terrible "D", they can't do anything positive...I accept that Sutter wants "mobile" D men for his system, but our guys dont get the puck to be mobile, and are always out of position to "defend".Horrible And as much as I like Elias, I think a change of scenery would be good, remember when we traded Arnott, I didnt think it was a good idea, but it worked out for both teams. How about getting Arnott back?? or Brian Rolston back. These guys have been very good since we traded them away.
