I do not know what the Rangers defensive design is but Fox is all over the ice chasing the puck in his own end. Right side-left side-at the points. The only place I do not see him much is in front of the net playing tough. This is not positional hockey. Is this what he is being told to do? It looks like a little kid chasing the puck wherever it goes. What is worse is he is barely touching the guys he is chasing.

1. Start playing real positional defense. Whatever this is does not work. Get a defensive coach that knows real defense. Is Rod Languay interested? Scott Stevens?

2. Get some Dmen that use their sticks with weight. Don't just reach. Put some muscle on them.

3. Watching this game I would look to move 6-9 guys on offense and 3 Dmen. This is a game of speed and hitting. We have neither.
 
The teams already in tank mode. Worse case just adding accelerant.
no, he's known for theft of tabletop play elements. Steals all of the Ns and Ts from scrabble and replaces them with even more I's. Switches out Guess Who? character cards to ensure impossible game states. Nasty work.

This BMW ad, how did it get approved? Wife stops husband from kissing her like he's got lupus because he heard a compliment about their BMW and mistook it for her?

Like, f*** you, ad agency. Fired.

Man to man makes little sense to me, you run around all shift and then when you finally get the puck you are tired and have to go to the bench.

I could be wrong but I feel like we saw some legit flashes of good/greatness from Laf last season.
You did, and he's largely stopped doing fundamental things that result in winning hockey. He can feel free to do them again any time he wants.
 
What the f*** are you even talking about? Played well when given the opportunity? He’s had the same opportunity this season and sucks ass. Explain to me what Lafreniere does at a high level, go ahead, it should be really easy to detail since he’s so dynamic. He had a good year playing on a line with MVP Panarin and overachieving Trocheck. Now that those players aren’t playing at that level, Lafreniere is invisible.
He's right Snow.
