Question, I didn't see the game. If Lindgren was back why was Harpur playing?

Trouba got hurt and they were playing 11F/7D so Harpur took his spot.

Thanks. I assume they were playing 11F/7D because of Kane? What's the update on him?

It was Kane. He's probably considered day to day.

Yes, 11/7 because Kane was out. Who knows what is going on with the hip. Let him rest until playoffs.

I think those stats are ridiculous. IF you are NOT undefeated when scoring 5+, well then that means you gave up 6 or more. How many times have we given up 6 this year.?..........off the top of my head, I will say twice.

Will answer my guess with fact. It was only ONCE, 3-6 loss to Washington on Feb. 25.
Gave up 5 goals 4 times. Only once have we given up 5, since Nov. 28th. vs Ottawa. Thats a long time.

92 goals coming from Center. Mika (39), Trochek (20), Chytil (22), Goody (11)

No current Ranger has a (-) negative rating.
No more Carpenter, Reaves, Gautier, Leschyshyn, (that spelling made my brain hurt) Cuylle, Jones or Hunt

What's incredible is that in a much more defensive 11-12 season, Lundqvist's best of his career, we gave up 5 goals in three regular season games. I don't know if the 4 times includes the 6 goal game but even if it does that's an incredible stat. Considering our goaltending has been good not great this year (if we're being 100% honest and not grading based on abilities), our defense has been A LOT better than given credit for.

It's all been building under Drury. Goodrow and Reaves were important starting points. The run last year with the Kids breaking out and Mika/Fox being forces throughout jumped us up a level. Giving the C to a true "into the breach" leader like Trouba and adding Trocheck who is a fearless shit stirrer who can actually play to the top 6 reinforced it. Then you add key elements like Vlad/Kane, Motte and Mikkola; guys who win you Cups.

I never felt this way with any Lundqvist team, not even in 12 & 15 when we were tops in the league. But, it's the Rangers time now.

If Boston wasn't around, I'd agree.

KAM is the worst - softest d man on the team.
A total liability in his own end - last to jump into an altercation as well .
He’s Jeff Bloemberg reincarnated who btw was a self declared “ pacifist “
KAM is the embodiment of pacifism.

Don’t be fooled by a follow up put home goal - he suck’s .

That you'd prefer to lose Miller than Harper is just a plain scary opinion.

I understood where it came from when you wrote "last to jump into an altercation as well".

You're living in the wrong decade and even back then you'd be 100% wrong.

Hard to say definitively that it's our time when we are tied for the 5th best record in the league and the reigning Champs are behind us due to a slow start. It seems like it's the same time it has been for us in many past seasons.

We have a chance.

We'll just agree to disagree here. He was awful from about a week before the All Star break until about two weeks ago.

Who was better?

 

[I Eat Crow]

Who was better?

Lindgren (until he was injured against the Caps) and Trouba were both in better form during that time period. Both played disciplined hockey. Fox continued to put up some points but he was bobbling the puck left and right, was turning it over to the opposing team way more, and was missing coverage lots in his own zone.

Either way, I'm glad he's back to playing more like himself lately. The Rangers are going to need him at the top of his game in the postseason. The Rangers have the talent to win it all. It'll be a matter of special teams and goaltending that'll determine how far they go.

Rangers had a slow start as well. Their biggest opponent in the playoffs is going to be themselves. Play the right way and they'll beat anyone. Boston and Colorado included.

Yes, so nice to finally have 12 NHL forwards and not be carrying around useless dead weight on the 4th line.

Yes, Trouba had a great stretch there when he was powering more of our even strength offense while Fox was struggling.

Fox is back though.

Where do we stand with Dom L's checklist?

 

[Zynbanejad]

I officially accept Harpur on this team

He's not a very good player but at least he knows and willingly accepts his role. Reaves and Tinordi were wastes of space.

In much better shape if Kakko and Lafreniere are playing like first liners.

Seems like a great teammate

 

[Mac n Gs]

Haven’t been around as much as of late because life has been insane, but goddamn that was a satisfying win last night. Use that as a momentum builder and try to carry that confidence into the playoffs.

They’re such a force when they play that fast, aggressive game. Loved how they answered the bell when needed too, and major props to Harpur for ragdolling Perry

 

[I Eat Crow]

Yup, we disagree.

All good, not everyone has to agree, just my take is all
