ADA had absolutely no idea what to do defending 3 on 3. Very, very lost. I'd wager they don't practice it, or at least he doesn't.

Apparently Panarin was too tired to defend on that last goal that cost the game so maybe he should get a little less ice time.
If Arizona isn't a good team because it's a small sample then Rangers aren't a bad team based on a smaller sample.
Yet, somehow that's different.
Put. Kakko. With. Mika. And. Panarin. Period. End of talk.

I would like to see Quinn stop doing line roulette after every period
How do you expect these guys to get comfortable if you’re swapping lines every 5 seconds

That tends to happen on minute+ shifts.
Ask the coach what happened.
He's lost 10 overtimes already, maybe he has an answer.

Maybe you are requiring your players to play a full 60 minute hustle game because your system sucks David.

He literally started his NHL career on the 2nd line and PP. People act like he's watching from the press box. I get it, we all want to see him do cool shit, but save yourself some stress and have patience. He's not going to break FFS.

They smashed us 5v5 in expected goals. All situations it was 2.45 - 2.09 in our favor but closer than the final score suggests.
I'm with you on that but at the end of the day, it's management's job to fix this mess.

There is only one rookie forward this year averaging over 16 minutes a game and it's an older rookie in Olofsson.
There were zero rookie forwards averaging over 16 minutes a game at this point last year.
But yea his usage is so bad.

I still think the first change that should be made is getting rid of Ruff, and I'm saying that fully acknowledging the PK - which I know he's responsible for - played a crucial role tonight. There's just too many fundamental issues with how he approaches coaching this team in transition, which he discussed this in an interview tonight, that just aren't successful in the modern game.
Teams are too focused on aggressiveness and counter-attacking, and completely yielding the zone with players coming at you at full speed is only going to hurt you more than help. On top of that, there's apparent terrible communication while defending within the zone since you see various shifts of structure with forwards either spread out too high or collapsed too low.
I know it's bad optics to fire Ruff now, but something has got to give. Give Greg Brown a shot and see what changes.

Between Kakko, Andersson, Howden, Lemieux, Hajek, and Fox there's been a combined 1 game scratched. Buchnevich, Skjei, and DeAngelo have all been benched during games.
Also Brendan Smith has been good.

And that line looked like shit and we didnt even hit 20 shots on goal. Fast 3rd ice time among forwards. LoLz. Yea great job putting him there. 2 all stars with a 4th liner, makes a lot of sense. Results showed.

I honestly don't care how good he's been, when you're giving him the ice time you are you aren't giving our young players a chance and you aren't giving this team a chance to win - the Rangers haven't won a game since he's been elevated to the 3rd line forward position. The long term growth of this team's young players is what is most important.
It's not about them being scratched, it's about them not getting a fair opportunity. Under 10 minutes for Kakko is absurd.

You're going to be endlessly screaming into the void trying to bring reason to these boards in the midst of a bad losing streak.
