Oof...

 

[mrmovies779]

Have to stop playing the 4th line.

 

[NYRangers16]

One thing I agree with DQ on(and it’s a short list). This idea of 4 lines is outdated. Why play your worst players more than necessary. Roll 3 lines... with proper conditioning, they can handle it.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Trouba is so atrocious lol.

Why?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Fowler looking like Mcilrath there lol

 

[Rempe73]

It's a tough call

It comes down to which one angers me more but yes they are so close

You can't do a short bench in this era

 

[duhmetreE]

I'd be so much happier if we just ran 3 lines

If Dallas Eakins didn't coach hockey, he'd be a male gigolo specializing in older women

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Why?

Constantly makes the wrong decision with the puck. Regularly reads plays wrong and gets himself pinned in his own zone.

He’s a #3 defenseman, not a #1. He can’t handle the responsibility he’s been given and looks terrible as a result.

His contract was a horrible idea. I’ve said it since Day 1. I like Trouba - on my second pair for $2 million less.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Strome had way too much eggnog before this game

I really believe you can. Just isn’t traditional.

 

[Kords]

Strome needs to lay off the pre game eggnog

 

[Harbour Dog]

Strome doesn't look drunk.

Strome is drunk.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Strome can’t wait for christmas

 

[egelband]

Howden only brushes his front two teeth.

That’s all he wants for Christmas.

 

[Rempe73]

Wow. Strome has been dogshit all game. Why did he choose to play like crap when Buchnevich was put on his line? Buch could have had like 3 points today if it wasn’t for him.

Yeah, well that’s ideal. Talent costs money these days. Kreider is about to make more than 2.5m more than ideal. We can survive Trouba’s cap number.

He's fine. I'm not sure where the meme has started.

 

[Rempe73]

Great shift by the boys keeping the puck in the zone

 

[Rempe73]

Omg ADA almost scored there

 

[egelband]

Glad to have the power play but, really, that’s such a dumb rule.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Duck's announcer::

"This is an interesting line combination by Quinn. I get Kreider being with Zib but Fast hasn't been much of a point producer this year, or ever in his career with the Rangers."

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

No way. Even the shitty players are fast.

Last team to do it was the 2004 Lighting. and when we became Tort's Kinda guys, even he had to drop the "safe is death" mantra for the most boring style of play in hockey besides the y2k Devils

 

[duhmetreE]

We need a LHS
