Over the past three years the Leafs are 4-7-1 including 7-0, 5-1, and 7-2 wins. If the Leafs don't come to play then they are in danger of being blown out. Cam Charron [has a great preview](http://theleafsnation.com/2013/1/26/preview-game-5-leafs-rangers-the-method-behing-nazem-kadri?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) that looks at how Randy Carlyle has used [Nazem Kadri](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71825/nazem-kadri?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) this year. The key: he has used him just the way we've always wanted. Kadri is being put into a position to succeed and so far he's taken advantage of the opportunity. ### Three Questions Joe Fortunato from [Blueshirt Banter](http://www.blueshirtbanter.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) joined us to answer some questions and give us some thoughts on the Rangers' starting lineups **1\. How's that [Rick Nash](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54947/rick-nash?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) trade working out? How has he fit into the lineup and does the top heavy nature of your forwards worry you at all?** > I think it's worked and it hasn't. Nash has been an animal, easily the Rangers' best player all year and is a true game-changer. It hurts because the Rangers lost [Brandon Dubinsky](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54192/brandon-dubinsky?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Artem Anisimov](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54216/artem-anisimov?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), which has hurt the team's depth. I do think once this team figures itself out (John Tortorella teams need a training camp, and this team didn't get one) they'll be fine. 2\. What's the deal with [Chris Kreider](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71824/chris-kreider?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)? He looked like he was going to be a star after last year's playoffs but he has struggled in the AHL and has had a rough start to the season. What's up? > Tortorella just sat him against the [Flyers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/philadelphia-flyers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) so that he can get a better idea about the team's defensive scheme. I think he'll be fine as well, [he's been through a lot as a young player](http://www.blueshirtbanter.com/2013/1/26/3917034/chris-kreider-john-tortorella-new-york-rangers-rumors?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) but I really do think he's going to be a special player. > > He does, however, have a bone chip in his ankle, so he will be sitting again tonight and is now day-to-day. **3\. Why does your team hate female fans?** Ha, I think that article was meant to be funny and a ton of people didn't take it that way. I will say thanks to twitter and facebook I know of countless female Rangers fans. I just think the article was taken the wrong way, is all. ### Lines And Defence Pairings #### New York Rangers Rick Nash - [Brad Richards](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55200/brad-richards?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Marian Gaborik](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54709/marian-gaborik?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Taylor Pyatt](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54461/taylor-pyatt?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Derek Stepan](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/111731/derek-stepan?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Ryan Callahan](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54197/ryan-callahan?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Michael Rupp - [Brian Boyle](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54562/brian-boyle?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Carl Hagelin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/131255/carl-hagelin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Benn Ferriero](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/84367/benn-ferriero?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Jeff Halpern](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54831/jeff-halpern?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- Aaron Asham [Ryan McDonagh](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71996/ryan-mcdonagh?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Dan Girardi](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54186/dan-girardi?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Marc Staal](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54193/marc-staal?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Michael Del Zotto](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54210/michael-del-zotto?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Steve Eminger](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55013/steve-eminger?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Anton Stralman](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54306/anton-stralman?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Henrik Lundqvist [Martin Biron](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54859/martin-biron?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) #### [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Clarke MacArthur](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55209/clarke-macarthur?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Tyler Bozak](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71017/tyler-bozak?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Phil Kessel](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54905/phil-kessel?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) James van Riemsdyk - [Mikhail Grabovski](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54327/mikhail-grabovski?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Nikolai Kulemin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54310/nikolai-kulemin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Matt Frattin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/130845/matt-frattin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- Nazem Kadri - [Leo Komarov](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/156612/leo-komarov?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Colton Orr](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54200/colton-orr?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Jay McClement](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55137/jay-mcclement?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Mike Brown](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54463/mike-brown?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Dion Phaneuf](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54651/dion-phaneuf?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Mike Kostka](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55706/mike-kostka?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Mark Fraser](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54982/mark-fraser?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [John-Michael Liles](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55475/john-michael-liles?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Carl Gunnarsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72010/carl-gunnarsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- [Mike Komisarek](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55649/mike-komisarek?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [James Reimer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54304/james-reimer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Ben Scrivens](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/111745/ben-scrivens?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
