No one here is “pretending to know more than the team.” Brian Boyle isn’t on the team.
Brian Boyle is a Rangers media source, a Rangers reporter and employed by the team and Up in the Blue Seats podcast lead. Of course he has an inkling about if or what kind of impact Rempe is having.
People said, with very good reason, that it’s probably a good idea to make Rempe the guy to come out when Chytil is ready, to which a poster said “but what kind of message will that send to the room?”
Not the move to make until the Rangers lose. There's no reason to. Let Chytil skate more, get his legs under him, etc...
If anyone is pretending to know stuff it’s the person who is implying a locker room meltdown if Rempe is scratched. No reason to believe that will be the case if Lavi decides it’s best.
Nobody is saying that the room will melt down. Stop with the over the top hyperbole. It WILL have an impact to some degree if you're making a lineup change to a team that's won five playoff games in a row.
This Ranger team has proven, so far, to be a very resilient group but why mess with the sauce when it's successful.
Nobody, to my knowledge, has said Rempe is a better player than Chytil. There's a lot to consider here though. Rempe out and Chytil in messes with lines that are currently successful no matter where you put him unless it's on the 4th line (where he clearly doesn't belong).
