Jeffy essentially covered all I had to say. Giving the Bronx cheer to a kid out there is not cool. But calling Tisi and the rest of the country club on their incompetence is.
I have wondered aloud many times why McHugh gets so little ice time and never in OT. He and Meireles are the two fastest skaters and he's physically engaged and productive way beyond his minutes. But as usual in Ranger-land, nothing is based on merit, but rather some pre-determined pecking order that seems impossible to disrupt with either good or bad play.
A good coach would see that lately Henderson has been useless. I don't mean that as a knock on the kid as he works hard and sacrifices his body but he is nowhere near worthy of the minutes and linemates he gets but not once has he lost a shift all year to mix things up. Meanwhile guys like McHugh who can bring a lot more than Carter, Henderson and arguably Hugg sit on the bench all game every game.
It's an abomination of coaching if you ask me.
