It’s amazing how “he’s had an awful season 5-5,” yet is a plus player.Dude he's had an awful season 5 on 5. Your ranting and raving doesn't change that. And even on PP he hasn't even been one of their best players.
I'll have to look aroundHe might have missed it but I asked @Machinehead if he had Brodzinski's entry numbers.
I suspect that he's been carrying the load there. If you're going to replace him, they need to do so with someone who can continue doing that.
An upgrade would be nice, but it needs to be an upgrade on what Brodz is already bringing to the table and not someone who is completely different aside from perhaps someone who is just a retrieval monster.
With the name Reijo29, you've obviously been a fan for awhile...I'm curious have you felt a player deserved criticism or actually criticized a Rangers player yourself? How did you feel about Willie Huber while he was here? How bout Tom Poti? Were they unfairly treated?It’s amazing how “he’s had an awful season 5-5,” yet is a plus player.
All thanks to KreiderIt’s amazing how “he’s had an awful season 5-5,” yet is a plus player.

No I do not think it was. His stick blade was in the net as I saw it, not under the goalies skate. If Kreider tripped him up and kept him from making the save, then sure, should be goalie interference, but it didnt look like it to me on the replays. Also didn’t look like it to the officials either apparently, though sometimes I think they are wildly wrong. Hahaha.Any Ranger fans that don't think that was goaltender interference on the 3rd goal?
How the heck can the refs let a player skate into the goalie's crease and stick his stick under the goalie's skate as the goalie is going accross the net to try to make a save.
Only in the bush league NHL. You can't make this stuff up.
Buffalo just before Xmas. Since then:He's not scoring. He's a top line center. I can't even remember the last time he scored a 5 on 5 goal.

Yeah, that would really piss me off if that happened to my team - in the finals. At the end of the day I'm not claiming systematic bias against one team."I'd like to show the jury exhibit A-K.
Goals scored by the LA Kings in the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals vs The NYR. Clearly in these MANY examples, the goaltender, Henrik Lundqvist in these cases, was not allowed to perform his task as a goalie. He was not allowed to make a save due to physical contact from the opposition. Yet...
The goals all stood. LA won The Cup & no one said 'boo' about it.
Your Honor, the defense rests its case"

I just wish the league would have more integrity. I get it they want scoring up. But you don't do that by allowing the goalie to be interfered with when he's trying to make a save. And by the way, I don't only complain about it when it happens against my team. I complain about it for every team. The selective enforcement of goaltending interference has been a joke. But this is a league that publicly stated: "We don't want to have universal suspesion lengths for transgressions, because if we did that then star players may get long suspensions and be out for too long. That would hurt our bottom line."
f*** TorontoEh, it's been better lately but the Rangers are significantly below .500 in terms of calls from Toronto this year. You won't find much sympathy here.
I believe this is correct. I really hate the rule though. A delayed penalty shouldn’t be treated as a power play. In my humble opinion.Not true. Any goal scored on a delayed minor penalty negates the penalty, regardless of on-ice strength.
Delayed penalty.
Goal negates delayed penalty.
NYR continues to be shorthanded, 4 on 5.
Goal is challenged.
Unsuccessful challenge results in a MTL penalty, teams now skate 4 aside.
NYR penalty ends, Rangers PP 5 on 4 when Trocheck exits box.
Yeah to me seemed more like not celebrating a “blowout” (even though they weren’t up by that much)Maybe the highlights reel doesn't show it and I can't remember watching last night but it did not look like many were emotional with Kakko when he scored. Were they up so much that it would look bad? Mean anything? I just got a weird feeling watching the highlights, but maybe live feed was different. Did anyone notice?
Kakko had a couple really nice aggressive moves. I hope he keeps it up.Not sure we'v seen a better, just flat out filthy pass than Zbad's last night.
That shit is like porn.
I also loved that Laf move to the net. It didn't pay off but this version of Laf is just night & day from what he was.
Absolutely true and probably a team with four line like that one would win a ton of games.It’s amazing how “he’s had an awful season 5-5,” yet is a plus player.
