AV says Glass was playing well before coming out of lineup. Team wanted to get a look at Sheppard, now feels it’s time to get Glass back in.

So the Tanner Glass hate tweets are back and some of them are so awful that I refuse to post. A simple search on twitter with Tanner Glass in it, will give you all the ugly and vile comments you can handle (including one about Glass in the lineup makes me want to punch babies). Sweet, isn’t it. You would think the Rangers weren’t 29-14-6 with him in the lineup! Ridiculous…and although he isn’t the best option, he isn’t as terrible as the “fancy stats community” makes him out to be. Using an imperfect system to judge a player solely based on possession stats.

Note: Not all tweets below are hateful…some are just funny (the real nasty ones you can find yourself)

Time for Twitter to burn. MT @NYRangers: AV confirms that Tanner Glass will replace James Sheppard in the #NYR lineup tomorrow night.

Tanner glass is still horrible and the sky is still blue.

This Tanner Glass news is alarming. The 4th line has looked excellent. Huge game @NYI. Glass has something on AV. Perplexing.

If Tanner Glass is supposed to bring TUFFNESS to NYR lineup, I hope he gets in fight with Frans Neilsen and gets KO’ed in one punch
