Hard to keep the spirits up these days with this coaching staff . Columbus will have an effort and we will have none more than likely . Sens finished every check yesterday and here we have Rempe who should have been more involved by causing crap after a whistle....just a push or shove on the goalie or anyone ....I dunno.....coaching obviously is lost on our club . Hope for a win in regulation but the road ahead is bad . Looks like Team USA will have some good guys to build a World Championship team from with the Millers-Fox-I'm Not Hurt Kreider-Berard-Trocheck-Borgen as likely early invitees . Hmmm...4-3 OT win for Columbus .
 
Lost last night because they tried to turtle. Coached yelled at them against Capitals and made them turtle and play for the OT point after giving up the lead.

Conservative coaching isn't going to get you to the playoffs this way.

That’s why we need to pray we don’t take a lead going into the 3rd
 
I asked an AI who will be the highest paid goalie next season after taxes including home road adjusted and it said this:
  • Andrei Vasilevskiy (Tampa Bay Lightning)
    • Cap Hit: $9.5M
    • Home Tax (41 games): 37% → $4.74M after-tax
    • Road Tax (41 games): ~46% (avg.) → $4.37M after-tax
    • Total After-Tax: ~$5.56M
    • Notes: Florida’s no-tax home base, plus fewer high-tax road games in the East, helps.
  • Igor Shesterkin (New York Rangers)
    • Cap Hit: $11.5M
    • Home Tax: 50% → $4.71M
    • Road Tax: ~46% → $5.09M
    • Total After-Tax: ~$5.40M
    • Notes: High NY tax offset slightly by road games in lower-tax states.
  • Sergei Bobrovsky (Florida Panthers)
    • Cap Hit: $10M
    • Home Tax: 37% → $5.15M
    • Road Tax: ~46% → $4.63M
    • Total After-Tax: ~$5.39M
    • Notes: Similar to Vasilevskiy, Florida’s tax advantage shines.

Igor is by far the highest paid goalie.

He gets a $15M signing bonus on July 1st. I'm sure his accountant has his 'residence' in a state with not state tax. his pay checks during the season are small. He and Brodz will have the same paychecks during the season

This doesn't seem to calculate signing bonus.
 
Thanks for the corrections. I forgot about the structure. Also wasn't trying to lessen in any way the negative implications of our horrible situation. Igor is producing backup level results and if we have to ride out his entire contract we are going to be in a world of hurt. Hopefully Drury is already figuring how to argue for a Robin Lehner exception.
 
I would like to see the Trochek line play the entire game the way they played their shift late in the third period in yesterday's game (after Ottawa tied it up).

But I'm expecting to be disappointed.

Again.

I understand your plight. Learned a valuable lesson from an Agatha Christie character who said "Always expect the worst...then nothing will surprise you..." Certainly works for Rangers hockey.
