I think that if a team gets 100 goals from its top line and 75 goals from its second line, then they are in good shape.

I was talking more on an individual level, meaning since Cally and Higgins are ice cold, someone else (Prospal, Lisin) needs to get hot.

The problem we are seeing is that too many Rangers are ice cold (or hurt).

agreed Dave – but you do need more than 1 line to show some consistency.
We havent had more than 1 line really show sustained scoring this seasonat the same time.

If we could just get two lines be a genuien threat to score every game it’d make the world of difference. You’d see teams not just cocnetrating on gaborik then.

You don’t need consistency from every player at the same time, you just need players to get hot when other players get cold, and vice versa. That’s how the good teams do it.

nice post Jeremy. i think we are potentially a good team. What i dont like is the inconsistency. Outside of Prospal, Gabby and maybe MDZ has anyone been THAT consistent??? i dont think so. Alot of players have shown flashes….

but that in itself excites me. If just one other line shows a consistent level to their potential/talent/wage(!) then we’ll be alot better off.

i think we’ll be a better team next year than this for obvious reasons; the development of the youth for example. right now we may be witnessing some growing pains which im happy to live with providing they do dvelop as they can.
