Why Wouldn't He Change the Lines?

Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants reports that Tom Renney has once again changed line combinations during practice today. Here are the new pairings with changes in italics...

Markus Naslund-Scott Gomez-Ryan Callahan
Nigel Dawes-Chris Drury-Petr Prucha
Lauri Korpikoski-Brandon Dubinsky-Nikolai Zherdev
Fredrik Sjostrom-Blair Betts-Colton Orr

Gross also reports that Henrik Lundqvist is feeling better and will start tomorrow against the Penguins.

Aaron Voros looks to be the odd man out again. And, today, he continued his trend of almost killing teammates at practice by almost taking Nicolai Zherdev out with an errant shot only a week after nearly decapitating Henrik Lundqvist with another ill advised shot. Not really helping his cause to get back on the ice.

...despite the lack of offense last night I would have liked to see the lines stay in tack for another week or so. But hey what do I know. Maybe Renney should think about changing up the power play lines as well.

NYR Fan, how about writing a post on the top five candidates for the next head coach of the Rangers. PuckDaddy could link you for it.

Number one on the list...Bob Hartley. Wiki him.
