Give Gomez A Goal Scorer

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
...the most distressing pattern thus far revolves around the Renney’s reluctance to give his best playmaking center, his most creative pivot and his elite puck-carrying breakdown skater - they’re all Scott Gomez, by the way - complementary wingers who belong on his line. The head coach’s attempt to spread the wealth has created a fragmented offense lacking a go-to line with which the opposition must contend.
The Rangers have committed $51M over seven years to Gomez, yet they’ve assigned him to play with Nigel Dawes and Ryan Callahan, wingers who probably are more compatible to third-line responsibility. They have taken their most talented center and all but marginalized him as an offensive force.
more issues with the Rangers…
