In High Altitoad
Rangers before Lindgren was given top 4 minutes were the top offensive team in the league and 22nd in defense. D was hardly good, but the offense was getting it done.

Since re-inserting him into the top 4?

16th in offense, 25th in defense. (Both before and after #'s are xGF and xGA.)

Not like they've been playing a murders row either. Anaheim, Buffalo, Ottawa and the AHL Islanders mixed in with the Caps (who have been good, amazing what adding good defensemen will do to a team.)

Lavi has found a way to weaken the one thing that was buzzing and make a weakness even worse.

Didnt get to see much of the game. I just dont like the lines. I know Mika hasnt been good and Lav wants to get him goin, but im not sacrificing the other lines because of it

Bread Tro Laf
Cuyle Fil Kakko
4th line

Keep those lines

As far as defense...what a mess. Its a combination of personnel and whatever weird system theyre doing.

Going to have stinkers in a season, but tonight sounded like nothing looked good
Agreed
Kakko and Fil basically got demoted... because Mika and CK have been sucking 5v5. I say leave Mika and CK as the overpaid 3rd line they are

Mancini should play over Lindgren from now on, since he can actually skate. Skating is o important in the NHL.

Make Lindgren the 7th dman.

WTF is this beer league ass gap??


The forwards put the D in a tough spot as all three Fs were behind the play. It was basically a 3 on 2 then 4 on 3. The D is trying to protect the middle of the ice when they look up and see 4 Sabres coming at them.

As bad as our defensemen are (and I’m not disagreeing here), they look even worse because our forwards choose to play irresponsibly. I thought it was one of our main problems against the Panthers last year.
