Zibanejad is 39%, what should we do just not even send somebody in for shorthanded faceoffs?

From now on Trochek takes every faceoff.

looks like Cuylle in, Brodzinski out tonight

I feel like the very last thing anyone should be complaining about is the penalty killing and how they do it, its been more than solid all year

This would mean Cuylle on L3. Which becomes the match up line and when Rempe is glued to the bench someone has to double shift when Goodrow and Vesey are on the ice.

Brodzinski being the healthy scratch is certainly my favorite scenario

Mmmhmm. Yup, it's beginning to look a lot like playoff time.

- jimbro83

It's not mine, and this after I've mostly praised Laviolette. So it's this the fault of my own making? Probably.

I think most reasonable fans would agree this 3rd line has been their best version of L3. Cuylle needs to make smarter, simpler decisions with the puck.

well you just have no ability to have a reasonable conversation about Goodrow

Because he's bad by NHL standards.

Because he's bad.

but he's still a primary penalty killer and faceoff taker

hey you know who's been terrible since the trade deadline?

Vatrano

it's like he gave up all hope when he wasn't dealt

I’d like to avoid Crosby with a chip on his shoulder if possible. Isles don’t scare be and would be a great series. Flyers as well.
- picklerick

Want to avoid Pitt at all costs, cuz if they get in they'll have won their last 7 of 8 games probs.

The Rangers also love letting teams they have the brink climb their way back.

Your definition of rational must be VERY broad.

it's all the analytics guys causing the issues there too, but at least you can block people there

And sometimes its just the person who just says poop just to say it. If the Rangers can't win a cup SOLELY bc Trouba is playing as a top 4 defensemen then why watch? Then you get guys in the "(frank) Trouba's feelings camp". Who said anything about his feelings? The dude earned the "C". He hasn't earned the right to figure it out? Look how benching the captain is working out in Philly. "But they're 11-2 without Trouba"!! And theyre 39-19-4 with him you numbskulls!!

I might suck at math, but 33-6 is better than 39-19...

Oh if it only were that simple. So will the Yankees win like 130 games?

Its not about Trouba being in the lineup. Its about the fact that the team, held up well without him, and the Miller/Schneider pairing held its own quite well during that stretch despite all the injuries. So why force the issue with Trouba? You have 2 young kids, the eventual future of the defense who are playing good hockey together, why mess with it? Put Trouba with Jones and ease him back into the lineup after spending nearly a month on the sidelines.
