Renney to Possibly Deploy Hollweg-Betts-Orr Line

John Dellapina at the Daily News reports...

Rangers coach Tom Renney said he was "contemplating" dressing enforcer Colton Orr and deploying the Ryan Hollweg-Blair Betts-Orr line against Sidney Crosby, as he did with some success during the regular season. Jagr did some quick math and figured such a strategy would be tantamount to giving him the series off.

"I don't know how we're going to do it - it's Tom Renney's call," Jagr said. "But if you're going to put the fourth line against Crosby, then it means 35 minutes for the other three lines. Then it's going to be seven minutes for me. That's going to be great. I'll be very fresh for the next round."

...say it ain't so Tom. Say it ain't so.

...does Jagr ever have a quote that's not dripping with sarcasm.

I read this article this morning and almost needed to be changed.

Both Hollweg and Orr are defensive liabilities.

I'm not gonna get too upset, it said contemplating, it's not a done deal.
