05:11 AM ET 12.29 | It's fine for Tom Renney to call out "very key members of our hockey club who need to better," as he did without naming names following Saturday's 4-2 loss at the Garden to the Devils, but the head coach's words won't mean a thing unless he's willing to back them up. Which means benching and/or scratching those athletes who consistently fail to play to their capabilities, regardless of the names on the back of their uniforms, the letters on the front, or the numbers on their paychecks. And that means Chris Drury, the captain who has had a distinctly disappointing Year II on Broadway. That means Scott Gomez, the alternate captain who is playing the worst hockey of his life. That means Wade Redden, who for most of the season has appeared so unaccountably detached from the action around him.
