Probably some extra shifts here and there from Kakko, Roslovic in place of Rempe on that line in the event of a close game.

I really am not huge on dressing players that are budgeted for only 5-8 minutes in the playoffs, when games can go 4, 5, 6 periods. Having sad Bickel on the bench was bad for everyone in the defensive rotation, not just his self image.

You lose one forward to injury or misconduct and you pretty much have to go to an even 3 lines in that eventuality.

eh to some extent I'm in favor of playing your best players more in the playoffs, but yeah if a series is going long then that might catch up to you

I feel like Game 3 of that Devils series was a lot like Game 3 of the Tampa series the year before that. Losing that game in triple OT, like losing the Tampa game after being up by 2 (I think) halfway through the third, took the wind out of their sails and they never recovered.

That's the feeling I got anyway. Those heartbreak losses kill their mojo.

And that Tampa game was 100% on Trouba. Boneheaded, completely unnecessary penalty that gave a dying team momentum they desperately needed.

We definitely felt it in 22 when we went to 3OT.
We weren’t deep enough and gallant overused the top 6.
We’re at least 3 lines deep and Lavi trusts the third and forth (without Rempe)in almost every situation.

 

[Cygnus 2112]

There is a strong lack of Fil in this lineup

I thought the penalty call was actually pretty soft.

But it doesn't happen if he doesn't drop his stick for no reason.

[Fitzy]

yeah.

i mean if chytil is in, that 4th line could be
21-91-26

That’s a hell of a 4th.

It’s not Moore-Boyle-Dorsett, but it’s solid.

 

[IDvsEGO]

It’s not Moore-Boyle-Dorsett, but it’s solid.

Considering that when we rolled that out we couldn’t generate offense consistently, now we can.

It’s easy to forget that this website is very, very slowly dying. It’s easy for us because this is one of the last sub boards with any quality content.

I very rarely look at the main board. I’m pretty isolated here and sometimes forget this isn’t an exclusively Rangers site.

If Chytil is back. Take out Roslovic

Playoff series against the Caps are always ridiculous on the main boards.

2017 1st round against Montreal.

Ah; thanks for the clarification; had forgotten about that one.

It was a play on cut the hubris. But I will admit of one of those dont say “shutout” people.

I bet on a sweep. Nothing I do can remotely affect the results. Superstition, jinxes and such are nonsense. I carried a cardboard cutout of the cup around my office the day of game 7 vs Vancouver
