I remember when @Machinehead was worried Trouba would play more than him in the playoffs because Lavi thinks he's too short. (Not that I disagreed).

I can't believe people were actually right about Lavi saving Fox for the playoffs.

He f***ing got hurt anyway because hockey sucks but I respect Lavi.

Dudes don't fall off THAT quick. Trouba is pretty clearly injured. He shouldn't be playing.

trouba has been f***ing terrible for a while now. whatever injuries he has may have exacerbated his mediocre play, but he’s been falling off and fast for a lomg while now.

I think we should drop rempe, dress jones, and seriously limit trouba’s playing time.

He has, but he's not one to miss hits like this. His mobility took a shit late in the year and in the playoffs. You don't just lose all of your mobility and agility and timing over night. We'd see a steady, linear decline.

He's obviously injured, man.

Same with Fox.

I think the dirtbag Panthers are just getting started and will try to run people. Rempe has to be in the lineup IMO.

it’s so weird to say but his coaching has been reasonably competent overall these playoffs. a nice change of pace

Hence all of my posts defending his coaching decisions!!! This is LITERALLY the first coach since maybe Renney where we don't really need to question his game-in, game-out lineup choices. I truly think people don't grasp just how many f***ed up coaches we've had since Renney where I think any one of us could question them on any choice.

Lavi really has been a breath of fresh air. Truly think some guys on here have PTSD from other coaches, frankly.

I only wish Trouba hit Rodrigues harder with how this has all played out. I love the utter hypocrisy from the main boards on this. It's f***ing delicious.

The suspend for intent crowd would never look at Rodrigues trying to throw a chicken wing a player 5 feet away from him 1 period earlier.

Even better way to put it. If the only thing Trouba did was completely miss on an elbow the way Rodrigues did we would still have a main board thread about it. Exactly the same as the main board thread about him trying to pummel Necas.

I think Peca has been incredibly useful. I hope we don't lose him to a head coaching gig somewhere.

Hire Gus to be my hype man any day

 

[mas0764]

It’s the same thing as a couple years ago against Pittsburgh. Mika is very good, but not on the same level as guys like Barkov and Crosby and looks really bad matched up against them. Unfortunately we don’t really have any better options.

We need a Barkov.

Dallas only has 5 NHL dmen. That's going to be a tired group if they get past Edmonton. Any injuries to their top 4 and they are going to be in trouble.

 

[bhamill]

If you don't think the Rangers were utterly manhandled in that game, it's kind of sad.

And blaming the refs is weak when a team is pinned in their zone for 17 out of 20 minutes in the 3rd.

I think they scored more goals than Florida. They also had 10 high danger scoring chances to FL’s 8. You choosing zone time is as arbitrary a measure as any other. And counts for zero.
BTW, 5 of Florida’s 6 power plays were awarded in the first two periods NOT the third. And NYR only had two all game. It WAS out of whack. And blaming WHAT on the refs? NYR WON THE GAME. I’m not blaming, I’m commenting. Is that still weak?
RELAX.

Jacob Trouba, Rangers must muscle up to survive with Panthers out for blood

It’s the hockey the Rangers need to play in order to survive.

[Metranger]

still hoping Trouba gets suspended and ultimately banned from the league with his contract voided, would extend our window if would use his 8M on a real defenseman

Trouba has made a couple of outstanding outlet passes that have led to goals. So zip it already please.

Brooksie is spot on here. I've been saying this for a week about Florida taking penalties on every shift. They're following the Tampa blueprint. We need to respond to it while also playing our game.

 

[Atax]

Did you see Lindgren's face? Battle wounds. Note: no bitching about it and no embellishment. Just bounces back and makes a game winning assist.

They showed him giving Rodrigues shit. 100% believe it was about him diving.

Hanlon’s razor guys.

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

Trouba is a very low skilled hockey player who happens to also be extremely dumb. When I think of dirty, I think of slewban and his trying to slewfoot players off the puck or messier deliberately elbowing guys right in the kisser. When it comes to Trouba, I honestly think he realizes he’s beat and is trying to flail his arm out to slow him down any way possible, not try and elbow him in the face. I could be completely wrong, but I think it’s more due to his incompetency as a defender, not as malicious intent. But I have no idea. I have no idea what he’s thinking or if he’s thinking.

he lucked out that he missed the head for the most part, got 90% shoulder and neck. I think 2 minutes for reckless elbowing is the right call, but DOPS fines him $5k so I guess they feel the call on the ice should’ve been a major? I have no idea.

Agree 100%. Trouba is inept, not trying to kill guys.

 

[Kovalev27]

I have watched that Barkov goal countless times. There is no way that goal should have been allowed. Should have been challenged and disallowed and that game maybe never gets away from us. Frankly we were fine until that shift.

He absolutely directs the puck into the net with his glove. That is what the rule clearly states is a disallowed goal. And in fact it’s what they went to review on Wennbergs goal to win it.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Thanks for all your kind words. Even in death good things happen. It brought my niece who's been estranged from my sister back into the picture. She invited me to her house for dinner tomorrow night to watch the Rangers. She's a hockey fan albeit not the Rangers.

Just saw the news as well. So, so, so sorry for your loss
