There were people here saying "Rangers still suck" after they won 9-0, but I get pissed off when a goalie loses game in the 3rd period that we dominated and I'm negative.

Oh, no, I don't agree with that. I didnt see the post you were responding to. Sorry about that.
When the opposing teams top forwards are on the ice in the final minutes of the game, Fox should be on the ice, period. He is our best overall defense man and I trust him more than anyone else to shutdown players in our division such as Ovechkin, Marchand, Crosby, Pastrnak, etc.

We probably don't but so what? We were not expected to be contenders lol. Hell, probably more people had us missing the playoffs rather than getting in.

It is what it is. It's a physical mismatch. You can't push him out of the way but you can tie up his stick
yeah, leaving him wide open in front is a good strategy. you know... since he's the greatest goal scorer in history.

Imagine if Gauthier was on the ice for all three goals the caps scored the last two games. All huge goals.

He definitely wouldnt have been out there for the tap in ENG
At least my frustrations are saved for when they actually lose. We have people be miserable in threads after big wins and the Pavel Buchnevich thread instead of talking about how great this breakout season is for the guy that's been our 3rd best player, it's about how we're going to eventually lose him. But yep, I'm unreasonably negative.
Haha, Flattering angle that is not. Fun fact, this pic is from the party after the World Cup gold medal win. Great party

you shouldn't put all the kids together then state you dont want that mismatch with them being matched against Ovi.. ending up with what is a tier above benching. If it's that bad of a mismatch in your eyes, with the opposing team getting the last change, maybe they shouldn't be together?
Put Gauthier in against Buffalo. Kid needs a chance to play; I’d sit Lemieux or Howden.
Kreider-Zibanejad-Buchnevich
Panarin-Strome-Kakko
Lafreniere-Chytil-Gauthier
Rooney-Howden-Blackwell
If Kakko cannot start scoring while playing with a guy like Panarin then there’s nothing else the team can do to get him to score.

1. Zibanejad posterizing that whiny cow Dillon for the GW was just...*chef's kiss*
2. We have a franchise player, Adam Fox.
3. Kakko is in his head a bit right now. He buries that chance at the end of the 2nd 10/10 times in Liga.
4. I'll be honest they didn't play that well but the results were awesome.

What has happened with Bitteto? Smith needs a game or two off badly. I'm happy this coach has realized Kakko can play defense and gave him a shift next to defensive stalwart Howden towards the end of the game.

Neither Kakko nor Laf has really taken their spot assignments with the big four and run with it. At the same time, I don't think the big four are keenly interested in the developmental aspects of the game when they're in the middle of a man's game trying to win their shift. In other words maybe they are interested in mentoring them at practice and off the ice, but when they're trying to win a game, their job is not babysitting these two. Neither has proven that they can keep up.
This was never going to be a classic rebuild with them getting big minutes. This is a hybrid rebuild with a bubble-level state of things. They're on internships doing entry level jobs until they can prove they can work on the company's big-boy projects.

I don't like it because they don't play.
Kakko is generating so many turnovers at his own blue line and in the NZ which have led to rushes going the other way, it'd be great if the team could give him line mates who are more likely to take advantage of them than the ones he has right now. Blackwell has kind of run his course on that line but I do think adding in a speedier body next to Chytil and Laf can help them, plus he and Laf played pretty well together in the short stint they had as linemates.
No Philly has been legit terrible the entire season. Typical AV start where they PDO themselves up the standings but they've crashed back to earth since they aren't getting the elite goaltending that Alain has gotten for most of his coaching career.
He baffles me tbh. He didn't have a mobile puck moving defense for most of his stay here or really at all in Philly but he insists on implementing a style that relies on it. It crushed them in the playoffs last year and its killing them ever harder this year since Hart has been Fart.
