He will be another NHL body replacing an AHL body. I think he will play well in the playoffs and make a difference. The entire forward group is just deeper and more dangerous with him in the lineup. This is what I want to see.

Kreider-Mika-Vatrano
Panarin-Strome-Copp
Laf-Chytil-Kakko
Motte-Goodrow-Hunt/Reaves

That's fine. I just feel like the impact of his return is being largely overstated in Rangers land.

Top 6 looks good to me, but I don't think Gallant rolls an all-kid 3rd line in the playoffs. Goodrow is a nice fit at 3RW to provide vet stability and some faceoff presence. Not sure where that leaves Kakko...maybe stick him on the 4th with Motte and Rooney.

Kreider - Zibanejad - Vatrano
Panarin - Strome - Kakko
Laf - Copp - Chytil
Motte - Goodrow - Rooney/Reaves/Hunt
 
Well, if anyone was wondering if Copp could replace Strome at 2C next season, the answer after tonight is a resounding "No"
 
PGT after a loss nowadays

Rangersfan1994: people actually thought this team is going to do damage in the playoffs
Edjovanowski: kravtsov would have won the game for us
Bob Richards: say what you will about Fidel Castro's politics, he had a great sense of humor and taste in music
 
Rangers need Kakko back. Adding Kakko to that second line and forgetting about Strome is the way to go.
 
Hilarious dominate the team all game and he put us down behind the 8 ball with two weak ass goals in the first. Oh yay he made a couple of nice saves. Georgiev does that too, gives up horrible goals and then make a nice save here or there. Inexcusable.
Actually, completely excusable.
 
I think a lot of fans are use to Hank being God mode for a super long stretch. I think Igor is a little more human than Lundqvist.
I think @Amazing Kreiderman pointed it out. This is uncharted territory for Shesterkin. He hasn’t played this much before. So he’s worn out. He’ll be fine. But also, all those games Coach Gallant played Georgiev when playing Shesterkin seemed feasible…wise moves. Expect more of the same over the next month. It’ll be good for both goalies.

Another super frustrating night. At least they salvaged a point. Their even strength numbers were off the charts.

Chris Kreider can be such a dumb hockey player. Tough to watch him tonight. Bad decision after bad decision.

Glad Laf and Chytil got some opportunity in extra time.

Braun played generally well which would be extremely helpful.
Kreider reverted to Rudderless Kreider.
