Yesterday's Practice Notes; Another Drury Quote

Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants reported yesterday that Michal Rozsival returned to practice after missing Saturday's game due to a family situation, however, Scott Gomez sat out with the flu. He is expected to play tonight against the Islanders.

Gross also notes Tom Renney has again hinted at a Petr Prucha return (I'm not getting my hopes up this time).

Finally Gross has this from Chris Drury on being unaware of Tom Renney's post Devils game comments - "Show up, play hard, compete, battle...brain-dead hockey...not happy with performance of some very key people on our hockey club..."

"I guess you'd have to read the paper to know and I don't see too many guys coming in here with the sports pages," Drury said.

...George W. Bush didn't read the newspaper either and we all know how that turned out.

...i'm sorry as the Captain of the team you have to know what the coach is saying. How does he not know that Renney is unhappy with 'very key people on our hockey club?' Either Drury has tuned Renney out or Renney isn't a very good communicator. Either way the Captain needs to know when the head coach makes those types of comments.
