I have total faith in a Miller/Schneider 2nd pairing. Miller has proven he can play playoff hockey already. Schneider is already a terrific young d-man that can certainly take on the extra minutes.

The entire thing. No worries, that is why I was asking.
The Islanders had six powerplays. We were down a goal. There were a few reasons why Rempe had such low ice time.

Didn't take a final pic. I ate and the hauled ass upstairs to watch the bolts/caps game and work on a paper for my MBA.Those blackstones look so cool. Post a pic of what you make so we can be jealous.

Probably sometime in the playoffs. He is practicing in full.

And people thought I was being ridiculous regarding how the refs were letting EVERYTHING go for the Islanders.

I like Rempe and the energy he brings. Just saying most playoff games will be close and is it better to have any player getting 5 minutes a game even if those minutes are pretty effective?
I mean I guess its better than the Stu Bickel situation but still I don't see Rempe playing anywhere near 10 min a game in the playoffs. Hope I am wrong.
Oh and regarding Schneider I have been a big fan even when many wanted him gone in a trade. Was just saying even when he makes a mistake he is able to cover it up with his decent skating.

wow that's great news and I wouldn't want to play against us now

I think so. Rempe is a significantly better player than Bickel and isn't a defenseman. Rempe can be a game changer.

Goodrow, Rempe and Vesey effectively trapped Barzal's line in their zone for like 2 minutes. Teams have to prepare for him because he is so big, so strong.
If that happened to Vinny, he would have made his case to the refs. Miller.just accepts it.
Yep agreed. The fact he is a forward helps vs making the defense carry more load when another dman barely plays.
I wish we could have given Edstrom more of a chance. I still think he has a little better overall game.
Can't deny tho if Rempe is able to get his body on the dmen he could wear them down in a series.

It is incredible. I have so much fun cooking on it. Smash burgers. Hibachi. Steaks. The best.Those blackstones look so cool. Post a pic of what you make so we can be jealous.
I do have almost every cooking device/appliance you can think of, short of a smoker and the blackstone is my favorite.

Watching the NHL app game replay - the crowd seemed so loud at the Panarin game-tieing goal that I could not hear the goal horn. ?!?! Shades of John Amarati.
PS Trochek’s SO goal made me bawl. Ngl.

Wayyyyy off topic but good luck on the MBA. Did my duty in the 90s, have to imagine it’s a billion times harder nowadays.

I’ll give them credit, they showed resiliency.
I think the team misses Jones’s ability to move the puck. They’ve been getting pinned A LOT. No reason Gustafsson should play over him.
Rempe should stay on the fourth line. His physicality and forechecking make that line go.
Chytil coming back for the playoffs would be huge. I don’t hate Wennberg, but he just doesn’t do anything offensively, and Kakko is kinda on his own on that line right now.
For what it’s worth I thought Mika played well.

Rempe should be playing more, in my opinion. Especially in these last couple games. I haven't watched him as closely, but he doesn't look like a defensive liability out there.
When I was at the Canadiens game last week, he was a difference maker in that he got the rest of the team to up their game and play more physically and with more intensity. Firing up the crowd as a meme-worthy attraction is one thing (and there were "We Want Rempe" chants), but when you can get the team going, that's an asset. Guessing that's the main reason he's in over Edstrom, who's a lot more vanilla.
Reaves-like with his ability to fight and land a big hit, sure, but Rempe can skate well and was getting himself some offensive looks. His line was more or less taking the defensive shift and then dumping for a change. He'd be flying in after the dump while the rest changed.
I'd see him staying in the bottom-6 with a bit of an upside if he can stay consistent and get a better read on the play. I guess a bit like Brian Boyle, maybe 20ish points, but I think he's a good enough skater and more physical than Boyle.
Unless coaching is seeing something I wasn't, he sure looks ready for more minutes, but since this game was close, guessing they were relying on the top-6.

I have a traeger, it’s terrific for anything besides searing. As long as you like some wood/smoke/char flavor, which I do. Those Blackstone flat tops are great for searing.

Thank you. I think it is harder in some ways and easier in others. Being able to do it online is a saving grace. As a Global Director, I'm currently supporting three different timezones: EST, Irish Standard Time, and India Standard Time.
Between 60+ hour work weeks (often 6 days a week), two young kids, and working three different zones, I would never be able to do it if I had to go for in-person classes. Fortunately, my company is paying for about 75% of it so that is nice.

I'm taking us way off topic but.. I wanted one so bad. My wife doesn't love smoked stuff so I went with the Blackstone instead.
But yeah. I'm thinking of buying myself one as a graduation present next summer.

100%. And since when in the NHL does 1 team get 5 PP's plus a penalty shot and the other gets 1 PP?

Looks really cool. Once I move in to my next house I may splurge and get one for myself. For now I just use my BBQ.
I'm not complaining. Eastern teams finish on Wednesday, Western teams on Thursday. Eastern Conference playoffs start Saturday, Western Conference on Sunday. Rangers can use the extra days off to evaluate Chytil
May have been Pacioretty.
