Keep Petr Prucha and Play Him

We, the undersigned, hereby declare ourselves to be true and faithful fans of the NY Rangers hockey club. Furthermore, we strongly believe that Petr Prucha--who proudly wears the number 25 on his Rangers sweater and is one of the hardest-working members of the team--deserves to be given a real chance to demonstrate his playing capabilities. To wit, he should be played regularly--i.e. not for a mere string of 2-3 consecutive games--and be given playing time of not less than 10+ minutes per game. We believe that he has been declared a healthy scratch for far too many games this season and unjustifiably so.

Therefore, be it resolved that Petr Prucha:

(1) Should be recognized as a dedicated member of the NY Rangers who works hard and gives his all on each and every shift;
(2) Is indeed a valuable member of the team who therefore should not be considered for any trade and/or placed on waivers;
(3) Should no longer be relegated to the press-box as a healthy scratch (where he has spent far too many games);
(4) Should be played on a line in which he can contribute his scoring talents to the fullest of his abilities;
(5) Shall be given a significant amount of playing time in each and every game and, finally
(6) Shall be accorded time on the power play, a role in which he has distinguished himself in the past.
