I think the coaches finally realize that Gus and Trouba are our 2 worse defensemen right now and on top of that, they mix like oil and water. I do not believe this is a promotion for Trouba. But the simpler solution is just to swap in Jones for Gus and see if Jones/Trouba makes a better 3rd pair.

Brodz does nothing well, absolute waste of a roster number. Id rather go with 7d. Othmann got about 5 shifts before they bailed on him, he needed a run of 3 or 4 games to get comfortable. You can't base a young players readiness after a handful of shifts. I'd take half ready Othmann over Brodz any day.

they deserve to blow this series if they go back to Miller-Trouba 22 minutes a night
Definitely spreading the pairs. Coaches have to see Gus/Trouba as a matchup nightmare on the road. Just try Jones. Gus is no big loss. Guy is not made for playoff hockey.

Would rather have Jones/Trouba than doing what Laviolette is doing. I guess we shall see tomorrow
He's not even at practice?
I think we can rule out "soreness" or "sickness"

He’s there. Just no line rushes so I decided to jump to conclusions as is tradition.

It doesn't really matter. The pair Trouba is on is unusable regardless of his partner.
Thanks. Still if he doesn't play its obvious what is going on.

Promoting Trouba is an abomination
my bad I was reading everywhere and there was no mention of him at practice.
Will hold my comments based on if he plays tomorrow.

Dunno about that ... I only saw half the game, but after the Rangers tied it up they basically sat back.

We sucked the first ten minutes of that period. The last ten or so minutes, we looked like we were a heartbeat away from taking the lead until Lindgren took the penalty.

YES! Puck management! What they were doing the other night was insane. When it's so bad that avg fans can see in real time they are making bad decisions, it's a problem.
Seems like it shouldn't be so hard to manage the puck better.

Also, let me clarify, Avery said nothing wrong.
He basically said it's gonna be tough, and it might go 7, and that's life. I'm always saying that.
The problem I have is when people put him on a pedestal of experience and intangibles.
He played 28 playoff games. Everybody on this team who was on the team in 2022 has played 36.

It's true, but Rangers fandom / Championship success - and vacuums - seldom exist in the same dwelling.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy is just not what following this club is about, ha.
