Some Rangers See The Bench

from Steve Zipay at Blue Notes,
Accountability.
Coach John Tortorella means it.
Brandon Dubinsky, who held out for a week in training camp but played well early in the season on the first line, skated just 8:51 in the first two periods tonight and was benched in the third period. So was the homecoming boy, Christopher Higgins, a minus-2 in 12:44.
Whether that was a wise short-term idea against a fleet Canadiens team can be debated. It may be good in the long run for the 7-3-1 Rangers, we’ll see. But regardless, the breakdowns have to be eliminated.
added 11:45pm, from Stan Fischler of Game On,
“What me worry?”
That deathless quote came from none other than Mad Magazine’s preeminent nutcase, Alfred E. Newman.
Alfred E. may be history, but his commentary now applies to the Rangers as they prepare for the Coyotes’ visit on Monday night to The Garden.
Yes, there is concern now that the Blueshirts have lost their third straight, albeit in overtime on Saturday night in Montreal.
