Pre-Game Talk: Rangers vs Capitals - 12/27/17 - 8PM ET (NBCSN)

I think thats what AV means by "getting everyones attention".

Start Pavelec against Washington so maybe the team defence actually pulls its head out of its ass instead of Lundqvist cleaning up their trash plays while facing 40+ shots.

How is it that an entire message board can complain about a coach's decisions for two years in a row and nothing happens in real life? This isn't one guy spouting conspiracy theories or a small group with a grudge. This is outright lunacy being played out in the open and everyone knows it, yet no one cares.

Forget the actual combinations, what other teams change their lineup like this? Setting lines, building chemistry, and slight tinkering to reward someone who is going particularly well is like bench management 101. Seriously f*** this guy.

The logical question then becomes "Why continue?"

Because I am deranged. That’s why.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

were losing like 7-0 because this coach is braindead

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I already know how this plays out.

We rightfully freak out about the awful lines and think we'll lose. Team ends up playing like shit but somehow wins and AV thinks it's because of his genius lines. We'll then be stuck with them for a few weeks until AV feels the need to up himself with even worse lines. Rinse and repeat.

Larry Brooks should be safe at least if we somehow manage to lose this game, but if they win AV will be looked at as a genius, and that`s how sport analyst works, right? I admit it`s some major line changes this night - so it`s definitely some strong signals sent by the coaching staff!
But most importantly will we get 2 pts and a win with these changes?
