Rangers are undefeated (5-0-0) when JT scores a point
I have to be honest I'm pretty shocked Miller has 6 in 7

8 Mill gets bailed out by his teammates.
Zib had have couple of quiet games now even before blaze hot Kreider scored before he had neck spasm with a lovely pass from Ryan Mc. It`s obvious who carried that line and it was Kreider. Although I hope Zib will get his game going again since his very good preseason and beginning of this season.
And Zuci went quiet too last game - I didn`t see major of the 3rd period, because it was too late for me with 8 pm starts. And Miller have little to no confidence at the moment with his finishing.
I think AV need to try a differnet line combination to be honest - it`s not good chemistry for what I`ve seen with Zib & Miller at the moment.
Miller was all over the place, could have had a few goals easily. Gonna have an impact if he gets dealt.

Lundqvist was back to normal after the first period. "Bailed out by his teammates" is weak.
Agreed.And both goals were the result of TOs by the defense.
Agreed.
I will say this. This start feels different than last year. Last year, most clear headed fans knew that the results were largely based on smoke and mirrors as Henke's play was the sole reason for the good record. This year's start feels a lot different. Largely the play has been good and Henke does not have the team on his shoulders. BUT....there are items to pay attention to like the slow starts and the defensive gaffes. Those do need to be addressed for the team to continue to have solid play.
Also, I said this last year and will say it again this year. Trading any of Hayes, Miller or Krieder will be a blatant act of stupidity.

He's bailed out the team a hell of a lot more than the other way around. Holy moley.

I didn't believe this when I read it, and I still don't believe it after I looked it up. Had absolutely no idea that he had 6 in 7, just like I didn't think Stepan had 5 in 7.
IMO, Stepan's been playing the best hockey of his career, maybe except for the lockout season. He's been driving play at both ends of the ice, and the only thing he hasn't done yet is score a goal.
Vesey-Stepan-Nash has been such a good two-way line.
The more that I see him, the more I continue to see him as what he has been his entire career. Effectively a bottom third defenseman. And I know that this is a dead horse, but do not see how he can just completely make McILrath obsolete.However the Holden read to open the game was an absolute howler. Even if he read that as a 3 on 2 there is no reason at all to slide all the way over and double the puck to allow a streaking Pasternak in behind him. Horrendous read. 100% mental error, not physical. Plays like that get players benched, and his ice time reflected that, only getting ~14 min.

Did Jooris get injured on a specific hit or was it not noticeable?
At this point. I'm inclined to agree. I have speculated this elsewhere, but, the player that seems to not fit right now is Zucc.
