You remove a guy like that from the line-up and you start the season 4-0-1.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

So frustrating the dinosaur approach to defense permeating throughout the entire organization...more proof that they didn't want to trade Trouba because they think he's bad, they just wanted to spend his $ on Pat Kane. Groundhog day.

Said another way “we know he’s toast and can barely play hockey but we’re gonna drag his dead body around out there ‘cause the boys love him”

If you're in a horror movie, you make poor decisions.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

its cool how we found another defenseman worse than Jones that we can scratch him for. incredible. he's gonna go somewhere next year and put up 60 points.

And then we'll get to read endless puff pieces about how he "needed a wake up call to realize his true potential" and "the NYR had no other choice due to their depth on D"

When you have to string together 5 of the most common coach cliches to praise a player they should be automatically scratched.

Could be worse, could have a bottom pairing of Lindgren - Ruhwedle

See, that's my job to bring out the more lighter side of things. You're Welcome.

I'm legally 6'2".

Legally.

Must be nice to look down and not up at people like me.

Like Lavi said, you feel it.

Said another way “we know he’s toast and can barely play hockey but we’re gonna drag his dead body around out there ‘cause the boys love him”

But your avatar is Ryan Lindgren.

 

[MrAlmost]

Too bad. We actually controlled the puck for 5 games. I don't know what to say. I like Lindgren but he should have been traded. Hopefully last year was a fluke for him and he picks it up a lot this year.

 

[majordomo]

Will be tuning in for this one. Good chance the lord will reward me with a nice lights out hit

Would you like that before or after the game, sir?

 

[CasusBelli]

Let the excruciating officiating begin. Love that Bell Centre.

 

[will1066]

It's a sign

 

[Killem Dafoe]

K’Andre Miller -- Adam Fox

Braden Schneider -- Jacob Trouba

Ryan Lindgren -- Victor Mancini

I uh. Actually like this.

Puts on resume, works hard.

I don't get the Lindgren hate if he's on the 3rd pair. I actually think he's a pretty good option as a bottom pairing dman (albeit he's obviously overpaid for that).

They didnt scratch Mancini for Lindgren, or play Lindgren with Fox, but we're still complaining?

You folks need to pick your battles better. Some will never be happy.

Our fanbase thinks Trouba and Lindgren are not NHL caliber defenseman. Obviously thats completely asinine statement but somehow it stuck. I give credit to the team for actual making changes to the D-pairs that, in a small sample so far, have helped improve our 5v5 play. Lindgren on the 3rd pair is good. Trouba with a better defensive partner is good. Constantly complaining about fringe roster decisions by the best team in the league is not good.

 

[Fitzy]

So are you all just engaging in the typical histrionics or was your actual plan to just never play Lindgren again and assume he’s just bad from this day forward.

Because… not great strategy in an 82 game dress rehearsal not to play all your cards

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Lindgren on the third pair means Lavy is not a typical coach that needs to play the same vets together. This is great news. He's a fine as a bottom pairing D-man.

 

[Fitzy]

K’Andre Miller -- Adam Fox

Braden Schneider -- Jacob Trouba

Ryan Lindgren -- Victor Mancini

I uh. Actually like this.

Moving the puck under forecheck pressure continues to be the Achilles heel for this group just like it has been the past few unfortunately

 

[will1066]

Lindgren on the third pair means Lavy is not a typical coach that needs to play the same vets together. This is great news. He's a fine as a bottom pairing D-man.

A 3-goalie system of Igor, Hank and Fourgiev in 2020 means David Quinn is not a typical coach either.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If Lindgren ends up getting scratched along the way because of performance despite his reputation/contract then thats fine.

I knew he would draw back in once able, but don't be surprised when this team performs worse with him out there.
