I agree and as ranger fans we should definitely be worried about the long effects of just giving up draft picks. We need to stop the trend as much as possible.

Chill out. MSL literally isn't terrible at anything in the game of hockey. He's snake bitten, he's getting chances but missing by inches. He just needs to pot one and he'll be fine.
He's playing center. Once he can slide back into his normal position he will be fine.

Yeah, but at the same time it is now a "Paul Maurice Team" and they did a real good job taking away the space in front of Pavlec. They played a bit of Torts hockey, we were let to dominate them and sure we got a handful of prime scoring chances but they still kept things together.
Hunwick and Kostka played really well.
We can see the difference here for Ds between playing 12 minutes a night and 20-25 minutes a night. The former is in many senses a lot tougher than the later...
Nice to see Kostka get a bit of redemption too. He is a much better D than he showed early in the season. He is not a good NHL D and is probably going to be career minor leaguer, but he should be able to hold a spot in lack of better alternatives and he showed that last night.

Lee Stempniak has looked better and better the bigger role he has been given, and all of a sudden he finds himself with a lot of responsibilities.
But I don't think he was good at all last night. He had 4 give aways on the PP, and at least a couple of awful giveaways 5 on 5.
For as much as we require from this team, its not easy when a player finds himself in way over his head. A give away on a PP is 20-30 seconds lost of that form, Stemp having 4 negates a lot of PP time.

The ice wasn't good last night, on better ice I think Hagelin would have scored and probably more than one...
Zuccarello is a bit hurt out there.
Hayes had a better game, but I don't like the "spot" he is in. I see a player out there who is playing a "damage control game". Don't get me wrong, I love Hayes as a player and the potential he have. But he is still a bit raw and its very important to have a young kid in the "right spot" at this point of their careers. Hayes seems a bit afraid to make mistakes out there and he is seldomly acting instinctively on the ice, you don't want that to keep going on and become the norm for him. Unless he can break out of that in the very near future, I would want him in the AHL for a while.

2 goals in like 30 games for us is fine? The guy was top 5 in scoring when we got him. He's completely fallen off a cliff
Agree.
Pavalec was incredible and stole the game for Winnipeg.
The Rangers played a gutsy game. The defense was outstanding. You can't ask for a better performance.
Agree, Sather needs to pull some kind of magic in a deal now. Unless we plan to roll with two rookie defensemen, Kostka, and Hunwick making up 3 or 4 of our 6 defensemen for the next month or more.

Agreed on all points.
The forwards are allowed to have an off game. They've contributed plenty throughout the whole start.
I think the forwards were good, too, though last night. They generated a lot of pressure and just got beat by a great performance from Pavalec.
I think Vigneault had a brain malfunction in the shootout. Dominic Moore? With Duclair, Kreider, Brassard on the bench...

Did Duclair play at all in the 3rd? He had a couple brutal d-zone giveaways and I don't recall seeing him much after the last one to Buff.
Why do people want hayes in the A? Everytime he's played he's played well (minus the MTL game) and had a impact on his line mates. I think he'll be a great #3 center for us when stepan gets back.
To bad we'll never have a healthy team. If we did I bet we could fight for the conference title for the regular season.

Totally agree dont know how you can think any other way.
And the two goals he scored were not impressive goals at all.
Not Msl or goal scorers goals.
And it's not like he doesn't see top minutes and powerplay minutes .
Do you care to speculate what physically happend to him since he fell of that cliff from one day to another?
Or could it be that environment actually have a bigger impact on scoring than people on HFboards (and in media for that part too) thinks?
