More Line Changes

From practice today, according to Andrew Gross:

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

So here we go again with the line changes. Supposedly we could see any of the top three get some power play time. Will believe it when I see it. You can guarantee the only name you'll see on the pp from the second unit above is the one in the middle. Personally I'd like to see Prucha with Gomez. The last time those two were on the ice together was for just a few seconds, the last time Pittsburgh came into MSG, when #25 scored a big goal in his return to the lineup only to return to the press box a couple of games later.

Some other random thoughts:
-No wonder Boudreau is unbeaten vs the Rangers. Worst team in the league in shorthanded goals against, so just throw Ovechkin on the PK. Guaranteed goal.
-All Star game voting. Joke.
-Grachev looks like a beast at the World Juniors. If he fills out his 6'4" frame and continues to show the quickness and the hands he could be a force for the Rangers in a few years. That is if they don't trade him first.
