Player Discussion Filip Chytil: Part II

[IDvsEGO]

Right, but why would Ramsay do this when it was OBVIOUS that Drury wanted a tight ship?

Again, he threw his career away himself by being a f***ing moron, it sounds like. I'd rather not think he was an idiot and more that he just didn't respect Drury or something, lol

If you want the why, ask him.
We’re just working off reports and assumptions.
He didn’t throw his career away, he’s working for mtl.
You seem to be hung up on the why. And no one here is gonna be able to give you that insight, nor does it really matter.

 

[TominNC]

I just figured since he hasn't been practicing all that long and isn't yet being put in in-game situations in practices, that he wouldn't be playing in this round.

Plus, winning this series early gives him more time to get up to game speed.

Game speed is reached playing in games

So they set it all up in order to move on to Montreal.. Montreal typical

He hasn't played in months and this is a very condensed schedule. He should get as much practice as possible to get the rust off. Last that we know, he wasn't even doing line rushes yet.

We can agree to disagree, but I wouldn't be rushing to put him in this series. Assuming the Rangers wrap this series early and some others go 7, that gives him ample time to continue to prepare.

If you've got a winning formula you keep going with that. Wennberg/Kakko/Cuylle is our third line. Wennberg might not have the offense that Filip does but he's got a solid two way game, can skate and move the puck well and if the 4th line keeps playing the way they did the other night then you don't change them out either.

I think it's nice that Filip's practicing with the team and looks like he's got beyond the injury finally but where his game shape is is ? who knows. it's good to have him as an option though and injuries become more and more likely the deeper you go into the playoffs so there's a decent chance he'll get a chance if we do go deep.

That’s the reason you asses in a legit practice. The rangers under Lavi have hard practices.
Also people act like profession athletes can’t condition themselves.

Longevity with an organization will make people take things got granted and think they are untouchable.

 

[bleedblue94]

What was the argument anyone know?


Where are you getting this from?

If I remember right there was an argument about deployment of players in the series that boiled over after that loss. There was speculation that it had to do with disagreements they had all year about the use of analytics to help with strategy and deployment. Turk game with a rep of not caring for analytics but I think Drury believed he would be more open to their use this time around. Turk was horrible at adjusting to other teams and a lot of it had to do with his unwillingness to adapt beyond what he thought based on what was in front of him

Where did ramsey come in there? lol

Ramsey is the one that leaked out what happened. Do you think Drury wanted it public he was fighting with his coach in the middle of a playoffs series ha

Are the rangers even practicing. I’m so curious how this is gonna play out with him

I could see them holding him out until the Canes series. His speed and skill will be needed and the Canes aren't as physical as the Caps. He played really well against them two years ago.

I would rather get him a game this series than throw him into a series with the Canes. 4th line was crap last game. Bench Rempe and give him a game in DC.

into a series with the Canes? You thought they were gonna get bounced in the first round....now you are thinking we actually make it to the 2nd round? Must be a festivus miracle...

I feel like we might need a bouncer. There is going to be some post-Oshie shenanigans in game 3. My, how our Breadman has grown since "the letter" days

 

[KevinFinnerty]

honestly as the Presidents Trophy winning club, and adding a bona-fide top 6 center/forward onto our club, you would think we have to win...but then again with so much parity and Vegas up to their shenanigans who knows. I'm predicting Vegas NYR

That would be huge as they are my two heaviest tickets to win it all! I would walk away with a nice payday.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

No reason to scratch Wennberg, so thats not it.

A Goody-Wennberg-Vesey 4th would probably be a very effective matchup line

I'd worry about messing with the chemistry of that third line, specifically Kakko and Wennberg.

Id rather see something like Chytil-Wennberg-Kakko & Cuylle-Goodrow-Vesey than above, but anything that features Chytil in the lineup would be amazing, if hes ready.

But honestly in fear of messing with a winning lineup id wait to game 4 if this series goes to 3-0 or even 2-1 after a loss to shake things up.

Re: the 4th - Goodrow is about 10% better on draws than Wennberg, but i have a feeling they arent in love with Goodrow elsewhere up the middle. Plan to see Goodrow take draws and Wennberg and him switch once the puck drops if and when that becomes the lineup

You need Rempe to go after their guys the moment Wilson gets fresh with ours.

This, Game 3 will probably be the nastiest in the series.

Yes. I also think a post head injury Chytil will be highly targeted. But if they lose this I can see him starting the next game.

I think you might have the wrong guy. I absolutely did not think they were going to get bounced in the first round.

I did say that I'm surprised the team won the president's trophy as I do believe they have a lot of flaws. But so does every team and that's just life with a parity/salary capped NHL. I still don't think we're going to win the cup, but 100% expected us to beat (and probably quickly) Washington.
