Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

Who got jniured? Eyes emoji
Basically everyone - the most wild one was Markstrom slashing the f*** out of his own player Cody Glass, who then went down terribly, twisting his knee. Looked really bad. Just a huge WTF moment.

Luke Hughes also went down, looked bad. Shoulder.

Dillon also got hurt.

wow! that sucks!
 
Watching any other team in the playoffs really brings home just how utterly without speed or effort the entire Rangers roster is.

Seems like other teams are composed entirely of forwards who are burners.
Don't confuse speed with drive. CK has speed, no drive this season. Speed is useless if your players don't actually use it. I'm not saying we have it. I'm just saying other teams with drive will look faster than our lifeless ice blob of a team.

It’s not just about skating speed, it’s pace, the rangers play at the slowest pace of any team in the league, AINEC

They dont move their legs. We stand at the blueline and wait for a three line pass from our d. Then if if Magically connects we start flatfooted.

Also the rangers go backwards into their zone to regroup like crazy and wait for the other team to get set.

We dont just “go go go”. Literally zero transition.
 
They didn’t play very well despite the record.

Bascially an extreme version of what the Rangers have pulled the last few years before this one.
A version of the Rangers with the talent to actually sustain it.

But I still don't see them getting past round 2.

The Lightning have top 10 analytics and national team talent.

Not a team in the league likes to reverse and skate backwards more than they do. It's some of the most baffling shit I've ever seen. Fred Shero would have executed them with a fire axe.
