Comments on: Steady as Strudwick http://www.myblueshirtheaven.com/2007/11/18/steady-as-strudwick/ If Anna Quindlen wrote about New York Rangers Hockey, maybe it would read like this blog. Some facts, some emotion and some common sense for Ranger fans from a heart that's True Blue.

In baseball he'd be your perfect utility player. He scored three goals in his last full season, the Niedermayers have Strudwick genes after all, but that's not his value. With Strudwick out there, you have another guy that can drop the gloves, which is good for the team. Minnesota has Boogaard, but that didn't deter Ohlund from a vicious slash on the legs of Koivu breaking a bone (four game suspension.) Should he play when Malik comes back? Probably not. But as the season goes on, he'll get his innings. Speaking of Malik, few probably remember that it was Strudwick that scored in the 14th round of that famous shootout after Muir put Washington ahead thus setting up Malik's heroics. His two cousins Scott and Rob watched on TV and they said they fell off the couch when that happened. Renney deserves credit too for putting him out there 4 on 4 with the game on the line particularly against a high-flying team like Pittsburgh. What he lacks in skills, he makes up in smarts.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4545','idov'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4545','idov','I agree entirely about Strudwick.
