I guess the Rangers and Bruins have something in common

With Krug and Chara gone, Marchand Pastrnak missing time... the Bruins do not look very good on paper.

Ranger spy. Tell Eichel how much better it can be here.

John Moore will save them.

“Here’s how you let forwards gain the zone...”

I kid, good for Danny

This tweet sounds ridiculous to me. Being a player is not the same thing as being a coach.

Good thing they didn't hire him as a coach

Doesn't mean you aren't good at it either.

That's true, but he said that it's a great hire based on him being a player that played a long time in the NHL.

True, but you were talking about coaching.

Sabres hired him to be part of their player development group. For that, I think Girardi's experience is actually relevant. Making the NHL as an undrafted free agent gave him a more difficult path to the league which can be helpful when guiding prospects

Boston may be very vulnerable this year. Pasternak, McAvoy and Marchand all coming off surgery. Pasternak won’t be ready to start the season.

With a shortened season they might not make the playoffs imo

If they do, then Rask will be up for Vezina and their coach (forgot his name) for Adams

The tweet refers to the fact that he played a long time as an UNDRAFTED player. That’s the difference. Not that your overall point might not still stand, but it’s implied that an undrafted guy had to work harder to get those games in and may know a thing or two about development.

And what do you think should be a good starting position for a former NHLer with almost 1,000 games and exemplary career?

Weird how there always seems to be a exodus of skilled forwards on Torts-coached team. Must be a coincidence. #NYRCoachoftheDecade
