Practice

At the Rangers practice yesterday, the lines looked like this:

Wolski-Christensen-Gaborik
Dubinsky-Richards-Callahan
Fedotenko-Boyle-Prust
Newbury-Anisimov-Stepan

I really don't like these lines. And unless you looked at the lines before the game, you wouldn't know that Christensen even played. Why is he on the top line instead of Richards? When the Rangers signed Brad Richards, I didn't think it was so he could center the second line. Maybe Torts is trying to get Dubinsky and Callahan going. Another thing that really bothers me is putting Stepan on the fourth line. Knowing Torts, the fourth line often doesn't get a lot of ice time, and Stepan needs to be on the ice. Even though his numbers aren't great, he still did well on the top line. Finally, the players, especially Richards and Gaborik, are supposed to be building chemistry. How are they supposed to do that if the lines are constantly changing?
