The feeling you get when Hulu finally grants you access to the game:

I'm over here with ESPN plus not sweating it.

Can we get this Bread in the playoffs pretty please?!!?!

 

[LORDE]

So now we should put him there and then not have movement?

Exactly.

When our PP does go stale it's usually because they just stand around & pass it around the perimeter. The last thing we want is to have ANYONE stapled to "a spot" on the ice.

I would imagine the ESPN+ app would have it.

Thanks. I don’t pay for espn+

The loss this year was a lot of dumb special teams, refs, 3 on 3 OT, which isn't even hockey. Wasn't really anything to be worried about, games are going to happen like that in a season.

The Utah game was actually really good. They just shot the lights out. Detroit on the road was good. Pittsburgh was a masterpiece. The Detroit game at home was pretty even at 5v5 but it was fine. They haven't had a bad one yet.

You know what's weird? The Penguins have been great since we hung them out on the clothesline.

Looking forward towards potential playoffs. We can say Panarin underwhelms but there are other factors I think at least as crucial to why we haven't been able to go further. Last year we didn't have a good option for our 2RW---whether or not Reilly Smith meets these needs better this year is still very much a ? Also missing Chytil turned us into pretty much a two line team making us an easier team to defend. It's not that Roslovic or Wennberg are terrible players but they were less than adequate for the needs we had. The defense being all banged up was another problem and against a hard forechecking physical team like the Panthers were last year that issue exacerbated.

If the Rangers do have 3 viable lines that can score come the playoffs it should make some difference and it might take both some pressure off of Panarin and give him a little more space to operate. If Mancini is a playoff injury fill in that will help our D because he can play. Having Rempe and Edstrom more acclimated to the NHL should give us 4th line options and physical components will struggle to match.

Yeah I think if Lindgren was in the long term plans he wouldnt have had to accept a 1 year deal that walks him to UFA. There's lots to dunk on Drury for, but not locking himself into a one dimensional defenseman isnt one of them.

Again, if he recognized how bad Lindgren is he would’ve been traded. Idk what kind of 4D chess you guys think he’s playing where you just use god awful players for shits and gigs

Have you ever looked at the win/loss stats with/without Lindgren. Yea man. Think, learn, then talk.

This is the same nonsense that said the team's record last season with Rempe was because of Rempe.

The glaring and central problem in the playoffs last season was a defense that couldn't get out of their own zone with possession.
