Sure it does? The team clearly doesn’t have enough guys willing to push back. Is that because of the coach, or the players themselves or the players don’t feel like they have someone with them who can support them in that push?
I’ll say this, I’ll remember forever the game before Orr was called up where the Flyers were running Jagr incessantly. It was clear as day. Orr came up and started taking runs at Flyers and then KO’d Fedoruk. It was violent, yes. But the Rangers didn’t get pushed around anymore and we saw guys like Prucha and others start to feel the confidence to push back when pushed.
I’ll just say that I’m disappointed the organization hasn’t been able to find a couple of guys who can support their teammates and play the game. Maybe they won’t be Reaves but there are other guys out there.
