Reporters like Peter Baugh and Dan Rosen are calling this a precautionary move. They already have Zac Jones as the spare. I don't remember calling up another defenseman to have in the press box while Jones drew in in the event someone else got hurt (or has the shits). Hard to keep track of that sometimes.

 

[Crease]

Who is hurt that would necessitate Jones in and Robertson up?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Has to be Miller. His play most of the year seems like he is mentally hurt. Take time off if you need.

Schneider sitting?

This wouldn't surprise me either.

Miller should check himself into the NHLPA program they have. Maybe he needs it and is his own head.

 

[Savant]

“…Lineup is unchanged”

 

[Row I Goon]

There’s more than a few candidates for a healthy scratch….and a kick in the ass!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

A TRADE?!?!?!

No. I just wanted to say that.

Isn't that for players who are suffering from substance abuse?

They called up Robertson last week for the game in St Louis when Trouba was a Game-time decision due to his wife givnig birth.

This time, the precaution seems more likely an injury/flu case for one of our D-men.

Isn't that for players who are suffering from substance abuse?

he NHL and NHL Players Association started the player assistance program in 1996. The jointly funded program assists players and their families with mental health, substance abuse and other matters.

While substance abuse is the most common reason, it's not the only thing the program can be used for.

I'm not into any more 'mental re-sets' at this point. This team has played like collective dogshit since they lost to the Lightning. It's time to start trading or cutting some people. In anyone else's job performance like this would get you fired. So let's start firing.

The sheer and utter laziness on display every night is a reflection on no one other than the players themselves. Guys like Kreider, Zibs, Trouba....they just need to be gone. Cleanse the locker room and deal with the cap consequences later. They had the opportunity to burn this whole thing down and in the time honored tradition of RangerLand chose half measures instead. And now they have half a team at best.

And as far as Laviolette goes if the team has to be so maximally controlled scheme wise that they need to follow such a strict plan to simply win a few games then the roster just isn't set up to succeed and should be liquidated.

Everyone
Must
Go.

Im sick of the “mental health” days off bs. Why and when did we start allowing this? Youre getting paid $3mm+ a year, put your gear on, shut your mouth and get out there

 

[cwede]

it's a west coast trip, with a 3 in 4
i am not reading too much into it

but the way they've performed last 8 weeks, a trade won't stun me

 

[Profet]

After his last poor performance, Jones won't see the ice as a Ranger again.

It’s a 32 team league. In your world there must be trades every day.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

sick of Miller and Trouba on this team honestly

I don't get the mentally hurt thing, but kids today are cut from a much softer cloth than I appreciate.

But I'm old. What do I know.

As if lol
But sure give Robertson a game

 

[Profet]

His last shift led to a turnover by him and a goal against. He didn't see the ice the rest of that game.

I don't think Lavi puts him in the lineup again.

He's the new Hajek.
