yea this is definitely not rempe's business to handle. i could care less if he fights or not, that does nothing. if he plays, i hope he's simply one of 18 guys who go out there playing with a nasty edge to them, and that the guys who have more of that in them really make it a point to finish hits hard. i'd love to see trouba, schneider, or lindgren put one of their big names in the crosshairs open ice. don't make it an accident...put it on display.

Not showing up ready to start the game has been a problem for a good five or six head coaches by now.
Take care of business? What did you want them to do? That wasn’t a dirty hit, it looked accidental and they were losing the game. The hit at the end was dirty if you want retaliation there, fine but there’s 5 seconds left.
Lousy starts, agreed

I’m one of the people that wasn’t around for the last playoff meeting. The prospect of losing to them in a 7 game series scares the shit out of me-even more so because we’re so much better.

To piggy back on what I mentioned above about them not being prepared for games and have awful 1st periods...
This was a problem under Gallant, as well.
It's not coaching at this point. It's the core veterans.

Didn't see this before my last post saying the same. Agreed. This veteran core is never ready. I'm not sure anything is going to change when the playoffs start. When have they ever made a series short?

We do poorly in the 1st period based on goals but the shots pretty much remain constant across periods.
There's probably not actually that much to it and we're just reacting to goals.
Last night, yes. We were terrible in the first period. Against Montreal, we were also losing early and we weren't terrible. That's just what happened.

An accident, or accidental play is something that happens when you're not expecting it to happen, meaning you don't have time to react to something that is seconds or a fraction of a second from happening. In this case, it's very clear that Pelech sees and knows what is/will happen and completely avoids the impact from happening, while simultaneously bracing himself from the impact. I don't think it's a vicious hit by any means, but Pelech knew exactly what was happening at all times.

Five game series win over Pittsburgh.
Six game series win over Montreal in 2017.
Seven game wins ever since.

I do think Pelech intended to make contact / interfere with Zibanejad on his way to the bench. The way he alters his trajectory and fully braces for impact are the giveaways to me. But I don't think it was particularly dirty and ultimately only made head contact / was an issue because Zibanejad was off in la la land as he cut across the ice without looking.
Saturday’s game is going to be very interesting. I fully expect Rempe to dress. If the officiating is not going to do their jobs then the Rangers are going to have to get more physical.
I think Lav knows that hit on Zib wasn't a dirty or intentional but I don't think he cares. He's doing it for his team because he has their backs. He's a coach.

Wow its a nice GM
Well said. Along with his reaction of sticking his arms out to protest right away as somebody pointed out

I agree. Definitely some gamesmanship by him. Trying to rally his team and keep the intensity high through these relatively meaningless games heading into the POs. Would love to see a response on Saturday but priority also has to be the team staying healthy heading into next week.
Wasn't he the Caps' coach for the Wilson incident? I remember him saying something like it wasn't a big deal, just some after the whistle stuff. Hated hearing it then but loved his response last night from our coach. He's probably working the refs too, putting it out there that the Islanders are dirty, just in case they play the Islanders in the first round.

I think he intended contact/interference. I don't think he anticipated contact to Zibs' head. Regardless, run him every chance you get.

In the 3rd, Trouba attempted to set up and clobber an Islander at their blue line. But he was so slow in getting there that he had to pull up because it would have been a clear interference penalty. That's how long it took him to approach the guy

That is in character for that scumbag team/organization. They've ALWAYS been that way.

Try all they want, when the Rangers decide they want to win they have zero chance.
I think the Ranger players KNOW this very well.
