I'm guessing Pionk won't return, haven't seen him since the high stick. eye injuries are f***ing scary.
3 just isn't a lot this yearI'm genuinely surprised that the Rangers aren't bottom in GA. They seem to give up 3 or more every other game.
It’s really not an abysmal shot. You don’t need a powerful shot to be a good offensive defenseman. It’s his playmaking, passing, and vision that impresses us. Also, I think his defense is good enough for him to be a 2-way. And yes, I know the last goal the Penguins scored was a rough one, but that doesn’t change anything.Hmmmm....maybe it’s not so easy for a defenseman to be a plus 4 against an actually talented team?
Why don’t I see bragging about elite offensive skills when I see a shot so abysmal.
Oh, and a minus 2.....so far
I don't hate the strategy if they're able to find guys with translatable skillsets that they can mold into more efficient players. A guy like Names isn't going to be a high-end scorer at the NHL level, but Quinn really helped kick his ass into gear and turn him into a really useful 3rd liner. Kid's had a nonstop motor since his initial benching at the beginning of the season.With the exception of Chytil, the other forwards are vets. This is where Gorts needs to make the changes. Instead of tying up the cap on fringe guys that winning teams don't want, you are better off with kids or role players who can fill a role.
IMO that's going to be just as much of a challenge as drafting and developing.
Almost as bad as 3 guys going to some twerp while Crosby dances with 40 feet of open iceTwo guys go to Aston-Reese with Malkin on the ice.
