Refs were truly on another level tonight.
Banner night for officiating, IMO
- Only a 2 min minor for Ellis' hit on Buchnevich.
- Fast for holding after being cross-checked 4 times while down on the ice.
- Lemieux 10-minute misconduct for love tapping a player.
Adam Fox is a God.
Also, "Let's Go Preds" chants were louder. Embarrassing
I was extremely ticked off at the lack of response to the cheap play from Nashville. We have a team full of young players and nobody there to protect them from getting hammered. When effing Ryan Ellis gives a blatant elbow to the head and doesn't have to answer the bell, that's a problem. If we are going to fill roster spots with McKegg and Smith, why not just bring in a killer from the A who will play a Tom Wilson type of role? Not expecting scoring, just heavy forecheck, finishing hits and, occasionally, punching someone in the face.
Of course, we aren't talking about Georges Laroque. But, it only takes one certified heavyweight. Trouba doesn't seem to be much of an intimidating presence. Tony is tough, but do we want him fighting or taking on Tom Wilson?It's not the good old days when guards were on every roster. You need some players who are both skilled and physical. The Rangers sorely lack that. That's not the fault of the players. They are what they are.
Management has to do a better job in that area. It's gotten a little better with Trouba and Lindgren, but more is needed.
Kreider could be that, but he could be a lot of things he isn't.

I love what Lemieux brings but he isn't an enforcer.
Bottom line is this team has a few disposable players on the roster. Why not use one of those spots on a guy who can strike a bit of fear into the opposition?
Players don't score on every chance. Buch is a 50 pt player, at least. He does other good things as well. I don't understand the antipathy for this guy.
because enforcers don't belong in the NHL and the closest skater to an enforcer in the league (Wilson) is a unique player that the sport will likely never see again and even he took a few good slugs from Lemieux.
People used to make him sound as if he would be a "50 goal player" instead of a 40-50 point player which he most likely will peak at
Plenty of other cheap shots to go around last night. Fabbro acting like he was a tough guy. Ekholm bench pressing his stick into Kreider's back over and over gets away with two minutes.Guys, let's hit the pause button here for a second.
It's Ryan Ellis.
Ryan.
Ellis.
Even if we had a magnificent beast who could both fight and play, Ryan Ellis isn't dropping the gloves with that guy.
Now, ADA might go after him, Lemieux as well. But this really isn't a situation where there's someone who needs to be brought in as pugilistic specialist.
He did fight big Z the other night. I would call it in Z's favor, but neither landed a big shot.List of guys that could beat up Wilson that Wilson would actually fight:
Worthless...check.How about Miles Wood? Sandpaper...check. Willing to throw....check. Can play a fourth line role....check. Young....check. Cheap.....check.
Chara is like 90.He did fight big Z the other night. I would call it in Z's favor, but neither landed a big shot.

Chara is like 90.
The game may have changed, but the fans have not.Are we seriously discussing having a "legit heavyweight" in ****ing *checks calender* almost 2020?
And Wood is worthless.McKegg is worthless. Smith is worthless.
At least wood is young and tough. He can skate like the wind and did put up close to 20 goals a couple of years ago.
Chara is still the most feared guy in the league.
And Wood is worthless.
He skates fast in straight lines and is really good at getting punched in the face. He does absolutely nothing else. There's a million better options.
