So your position is to gloat that this team is fine...
After a win against a terrible team where Trouba didn't even play and Goodrow had no effect?
It’s nice to see them win a game and find some offense, but this one doesn’t inspire much confidence or difference of opinion for me. The overall stretch of play these past 10-15 games has been atrocious and Ottawa is hardly a benchmark team. As far as I’m concerned every single thought and criticism from after the Vegas game is 100% as valid today as it was yesterday, and it would be embarrassing if this organization took a single win over a bottom five team as any indication that they haven’t lost the plot right now. I am still so beyond done with Mika lately.
I seem to recall 2 months ago when we brought up a career minor leaguer and put him on the RW with Mika and Krieder. He got a few points in his 1st game and everyone went nuts claiming we had solved that problem. That was Johnny B. Now everyone wants him on waivers and if he's claimed, who cares. So don't make Connor Mackey into Larry Robinson.
Come playoff time, we’ll be looking to add dmen like Lindgren and Trouba. Both have their warts but both guys are what teams want in the postseason….
Having said this, I’m 2000% confident @Machinehead is going to post their advanced playoff stats and it’ll contradict everything I just said, so…..
Honestly, I'm not a sToP sTeReOtYpInG yOu bIgOt guy but that just seems baseless. Style of play and maybe even body composition I see but what exactly does nationality have to do with mental strength and composure?
thoughts.
1. Laf continues to play great
2. Quick was the difference. Shesty i think would have folded
3. Miller is the worst dman on the team. Trade him now for a young center.
4. Panarin is great but some bad passing habits are creeping back
5. Way to many lazy passes and defensive breakdowns
6. Great sebut for mackay
7. Kreider finally shot off the rush and actualllh looked like he gave a shit
8. Tkachuk ahould have gotten an instigator
9. Dont look for a penalty and stop playing. Almost cost us a goal. Play hard to the whistle.

Lindgren's a bit better than Trouba in playoffs over last 3 years, but not by much. And Lindgren's gotten to play with Fox

I don't care who they were playing. Scoring 7 straight goals after being down 2-0 is a gift from heaven especially before a 9 day break and that break couldn't come at a better time. It gives them time to practice and reset. I think Drury knows the flaws of this team which have been on display for over a month and 1 game against Ottawa isn't going to change that. I also don't think any trades are going to happen until close to the deadline.
Passed out, which is always a good vibe for the actual team. This, from the Ottawa newspaper, is proof how STUPID the idea of fighting a solid check by another player after the fact:
“It’s frustrating, for sure, I want to be out (on the ice) helping the team win,” said Tkachuk. “It was a clean hit; if it was dirty, it would have been a penalty. I don’t like seeing Timmy getting hit and getting knocked over. I wanted to stick up for him.”
Said Martin: “He stepped up to defend one of his teammates. So we should get a different response from his teammates. That’s what I’m disappointed in. We gave them three goals.”
And PS. Never ever evah scratch Jack Zones again.

Are there they better, worse, or about the same in the playoffs compared to the regular season?

Having all 3 of Miller Lindgren and Trouba in the lineup feels like a liability at this point. Jones is small but competes and can actually get shots through and skate. Mackey gives a shit. I’m willing to give him a shot for that alone
At the game tonight and the Rangers fans were well represented.

xGF% from 2021-22 to 2023-24
Lindgren
Regular Season 49.64%
Playoffs 41.37%
Trouba
Regular Season 48.31%
Playoffs 39.05%
For clarification- Brodz got two assists in his third game this season
Kam just turned 24. He’s the guy I’m not too worried about. I think late 20’s/early 30’s, he’ll be a somewhat dominant dmen with his reach and physical attributes.
It’s the IQ with him and a lot of that was him switching positions so late.
Awwwwww f***.. They do regress in the playoffs….
Aight. Give me Connor McWhatever and Jones, I guess.
