Injury Report: Stepan Broken Jaw. No timeline. Prust susp. 2 games

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Try to have Brass back.
Forget Stepan
Miller, definitely
Lindberg is the X factor.

Ah yes the silver lining in all of this misery, everyone will finally get to see how stupid your "Trade Stepan" philosophy is in playoff action nonetheless.

I predict massive failure, then when I'm right I'm going to come back and gloat like you always do.

Miller on a top line makes me want to vomit.

 

[bigfatfist]

Yeah, it's clearly intentional and Therrien has been advocating for it all week.

Absolutely despicable.

Therrien tried to goon it up in he playoffs last year, too. Pretty consistent for him.

Love it. Exactly what I said in the post game thread. Needs to happen. Miller will turn heads. He's gonna be a cornerstone for this team for years to come.

**** Prust. I hope this becomes a rallying point for the rest of the guys, whether he comes back or not.

 

[Fitzy]

I'd rather play Kreider-Moore-Nash as the top line.

D-Moore is not a liability defensively, is decent on faceoffs, and can occasionally ship in offensively. He's also a better skater than Miller.

Think switch Miller and Richards. Hags and MSL are better defensively than Nash and Kreider, so it would give Miller a bit less pressure to be perfect defensively.

If Brass is back, that looks fine.

I disagree. I think he can provide to be just as valuable as Stepan for the first 2 periods. Then D. Moore should be double shifted in for him to limit the defensive lapses.

It's a long shot, very true. Maybe he can push himself to some hights for one two games.

Consider it the 3rd line.

Giving Miller a ton of ice time with the way he plays defense,scares the living hell out of me.

I'd rather not tamper with any of the other lines. Put D. Moore back on the 4th line. We have balance. That's how we win on offense. Miller won't ruin the first line. I'd rather have offensive potential on it.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Nothing pisses me off more than last nights game. Subban slashing all over the ice, Markov cross-checking everybody in sight, and Prust running Stepan. Just a ***** move. I remember Ovechkin had a chance to level Stepan and didn't do it for some reason, but an ex-teammate has no respect.

Agreed.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

That's what needs to happen. Rangers need to win the next 2 games, because whoever we plug into the 1C won't be as good as Steps. Let Step rest up and hopefully he can come back after the first game in the SCF.

If we can't beat MTL in 5 or 6, I don't think we win the series.

I agree with this. Miller can't be trusted to play the minutes that Nash and Kreider will get.

Miller and Kreider used to kill it on the Pack in the beginning of the AHL season... I think Miller reuniting with Kreider is the best thing at the moment. We don;t need to jumble all of the rest of our lines just to accomodate one injury.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

His face disgusts me even more now. (Prust)

Montreal (the city, the fans, the team, the citizens, and anyone involved in it) is *****made.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

That team is trash. And their coach.

Who was the poster that said their logo looks like a toilet seat? Yeah that's them, ****.

You say that...

Moore has a 41 point season, he isn't an offensive black hole.

Yeah, Miller may be a good player for us in the future, but he didn't even get precedence over Carcillo for 4th line W when Brassard went down. Now he's the 1st line center?
