Good pk, good period. Looked great during the first half of it. Lots of end to end hockey. Great stops by Hank. Need to score one soon though pls.
 
Why in the holy mother of **** is Moore scratched for that pylon Pouliot?

What 4th liner is good in all three zones? Asking for good offensive play out of Boyle is wanting play that you don't find in a 4th liner.

All the 4th line should do is just try and maintain possession in the offensive zone. Continue to cycle and kill time. Throw it at the net if they get a chance.

You want no 4th liners and want your bottom six filled with 3rd line guys that CAN play well in all zones. That's just not a realistic expectancy in a cap world.

Yes and boyle sure contributed to the cycle with his 10mph shot at the net on a odd man rush right?

You don't have to be "GOOD" to recognize an odd man rush or to make a simple correct play when leading the puck into the offensive zone, ESPECIALLY ON AN ODD MAN RUSH. If our defenseman can do it, so can he. period.

There's this thing called practices between games, maybe boyle has heard of that?
 
Can the Rangers give a rookie goalie a hard time for once? At least get in his face or try to screen him? The Caps have run into Hank a few times but the Rangers have no interest in getting near Grubauer's crease.

My entire point is that you are being unrealistic with your desire to have a 4th line that is good in all three zones. How many teams in the league actually have a 4th line filled with guys who can play well in any zone?

Teams need to pick their battles w/r/t what play they want out of the 4th line. You can go for a line of fighters, a defensively sound line (which is what the Rangers went for), guys that are good offensively but very suspect defensively, etc. There are a million ways to skin a cat.

But there may be only a handful of teams that have a 4th line competent in all three zones (that may even be an overstatement). The Rangers went with a defensive oriented line (although Moore fits it a hell of a lot better than Poop does).
 
I literally grimace whenever Al interviews anyone.

"Hey Anton, I don't know if you saw it, but here is a clip of you ****ing up not even seeing the puck only to be saved by Kreids. What do you think about that?"
 
It amazes me that people are disappointed with Boyle game after game. He's not gonna change, and he is so low on the list of this team's issues, well he's not even on it. He's not just going to become Eric Lindros. Deal.

He's our best PK'er, our best Faceoff man. That alone keeps him in the lineup. You want to complain about offensive ineptitude, look at the entire team.*

*Sans Nash and Manimal.

**And Muscular Beaver.

Pouliot may personify many pejoratives, but pylon is not one that comes to mind. Though the alliteration is appreciated.

Anton almost put the puck behind Hank, Al asked about it. It's his job. But i guess it's so fun these days to mock Al.

It's unrealistic of me to expect common sense on common plays that happen all the time? Lol alrighty. You clearly don't get the point of everyone should know how to do these little things like being aware of your surroundings and having the numbers game on a rush.

I strongly disagree. You shouldn't be asking that kind of **** mid-game. It just makes for an awkward interview.

Want to ask a post-game question? Completely different.
