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.

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.

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
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.

One was crippled. The other was terrible.
Laviolette should be the one blamed for continuing to play Trouba, instead of playing Jones.
Fox had a sprained mcl. It was injured multiple times on the same knee last season.
Hey. It's the only hockey fan in the world that didn't know Fox was hurt!

I don’t think he’ll be better than a 6/7D guy. Again, in the 5th round you’ll take anyone who can function at a nhl level
he’s a bottom pairing guy at best. even if he’s just a 6/7D guy, you’re content that he’ll be able to slot in for a bit if one of your starting D is hurt. Any 5th rounder who can function at the nhl level is a win. and if he can stick on the bottom pairing, you’re thrilled
Yes, any 5th rounder that's a 6/7 defensemen is a win doesn't mean every 5th rounder tops out as a 6/7 defenseman. He already outperformed his draft status and there's no reason he can't continue to do so and improve. He's already a 6/7 defenseman.
