GDT: ECF: Game 2 - New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers, 8pm ET, ESPN

I'd either sit Wenberg or put him on 4th line. We need Cuylle playing top 9 minutes he's a brick shit house who wants to actually score.

Tkachuck made Trocheck his bitch game 1, they're targeting him and Fox, Chytil clear as day. we need Vinny engaged and opening up room for Panarin.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I think putting Chytil with Zibs and Kreider makes sense if he is physically able to keep up the pace. Imo with what is apparently available I'd go, seems as though they dont have intentions of putting Wheeler in.

Kreider Zib Chytil
Panarin Trochek Lafreniere
Roslovic Wennberg Kakko
Cuylle Goodrow Vesey/Rempe

Maybe getting Roslovic some sheltered minutes might help, Kakko still has some speed on his other wing to work with this way.

D would have a player of size on each line

Miller Fox
Lindgren Schneider
Gustafson( he gets one more game) Trouba

 

[Filip Chytil]

A wise man once said, "Give me Rempe, or give me death!"

 

[KevinFinnerty]

if it was up to me I'd pull Roslodick for Wheeler, and Vesey for Rempe. Wennberg 4th line with Goodrow and Rempe. Kreider Zib Wheeler

Rest in peace Wiseman

We need Panarin to stop pulling up on the wall while 3 guys converge on him and he loses the puck.He did that all Game 1...he has to attack the middle of the ice

That's because he's torpedoing into the O zone, waiting and hoping his linemates will arrive from Carolina.

Hahaha!

 

[Riche16]

Came in here to say I have nothing to say.



Line juggling isn't gonna do much IMO

Our best players weren't our best in Game 1

Nothing can overcome that if it continues.

 

[CTTribe73]

Looks like Kakko in the press box.

Didn’t Galant pull this same move in the TB series?

Kakko will not be a NYR next season, that’s for damn sure.

latest reports are- he's still waiting

The real problem is that he is too far ahead of his forwards and is then on a 1 on 2 or 3 and doesn't have the speed to get by the d. That's why he is holding up, but when he's outmanned it's a disaster. If he's gonna be a line ahead of his linemates he may have to wait for some help before entering the blueline or enter and fire it around the back of the net.

I've preached patience with him for a long time but maybe we can get a Necas instead, he just doesn't seem to have the ability or speed to create offense. The fact we have to keep acquiring right wingers for the top 6 is telling.

Yeah. Or throw it behind the net if there is no play. Just don't lose it while all your guys are headed in the wrong direction.

What Gallant did was much worse. It wasn't just the scratch, it was how it was done. Lavy seems to communicate well with his players, even if he's going to scratch them.

 

[Unpredictable1]

My six year old daughter invented the phrase so please cease and desist.

Came here to post that I recall someone's child tagging him with Taco Taco and it's all I call him ever since. Just couldn't remember the poster!

I want to say it was over a season ago too?

 

[Leonardo87]

Kakko scratched for Wheeler?

I cant. I just cant

I can , Kakko has done crap. Scored one goal that was gifted to him from a bad turnover from the Caps.

People gonna complain about Mika or Kreider but yet Kakko gets a pass? We need scoring in the Bottom 6. Only way we have a shot against this Florida team who shut us out last game.

Is Wheeler the answer? Dunno. But he has more experience and more production than Kakko does in the playoffs.

I won’t be shocked if he is gone this summer, unless the Rangers win the cup.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Inserting a player who is closer to 38 than 37 years of age and hasn’t played in a game since February 15th seems like a desperation move by a coach who would have no other viable options.
Edstrom
Rempe
Belzile
and god forbid even Brodzinski are all more viable options than Wheeler.
Sorry if I have offended you, Mrs. Wheeler.

 

[Irishguy42]

Scratching Kakko is dumb, but we already knew that.

I’d play Brodz over Jimothy and shift Goodrow to wing where he is more effective

 

[Nickmo82]

Changes, no changes. Scratch this guy, or that. You're only wrong if you lose. If we win tonight, then nobody will mind who got scratched.

 

[Machinehead]

He just wants us to not pay insane prices!
