Colton Orr will replace Ryan Hollweg in the lineup tonight, says head coach Tom Renney. “It’s time,” said Renney, who believe Orr’s size will be an asset against a Pittsburgh team that is bigger than the Devils.

Is that even true? Mike Rupp and Colin White aren’t exactly pipsqueaks. Are we game-planning around Georges Laraque now?

In all seriousness, this is pretty inconsequential in my eyes. I’m a Hollweg fan, but there’s no doubt that the hard-hitting forward looks a bit worn down after a long NHL season. Perhaps that 5-11 frame is catching up with him.

Your primary concern with a move like this would be rust. Orr hasn’t played since March 27th after breaking a bone in his foot. The Rangers as a team haven’t played since last Friday, however, mitigating some of those concerns.

Of course, this is the fourth line we’re talking about…

Enough talk! Game on!
