I'd say send out Miller since the kid can't buy a goal tonight, but he's already missed one empty net tonight

lol True. I feel bad for laughing though, he's been great tonight.

Who is worse than Pirri in the defensive zone on this team?

Hayes is in lalaland 90% of the time. Granted he's been better lately, but he still doesn't always know where to be.

I'm just saying he's not far and away the worst player in his own-zone.

 

[aufheben]

I knew our PK was doing better than last year but had no idea it was #2 in the NHL right now

Yeah man. This is just shot attempts but it's still...nice

 

[rangerrat]

Holden brutal !!

 

[bl02]

Holden come on man keep it simple

 

[Machinehead]

MH, I specifically listed aspects Girardi is superior to Pirri in, a page or two ago, and Jonathan expanded on my post and elaborated.

The list literally included getting hurt which tells you all you need to know.

Yes, Girardi is better at getting hurt.

 

[Boruto]

Ahahaha Zucc and Moore jabs.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

I'm happy that rat Marchand didn't score on us in this game.

Yeah, he has been; regression is a *****.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

He's never burned anyone in the D-zone.

He's not good defensively and he's not bad. He just exists, largely reflecting what his team is doing in terms of possession, shots against, and chances against.

It's just Karlsson's Law. "He scores so he must be bad at something."

It has nothing to do with this. Absolutely nothing. It has everything to do with the fact that his defensive instincts are utterly awful. He doesn't know who to cover, his outlet passing is poor, his backwards skating is really bad (this really hurts him in the neutral zone), he has zero checking ability, his ability to cover a point man is really bad (I have no idea how he's that bad since that's drilled into a player's head in ****ing ATOM). I can go on from this, too. His defensive play is awful.

I'm not sure why this is so hard for you to admit. The guy is a very good addition for this team. But it sure as **** has nothing to do with his defensive game.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Lmao wtf Florida

 

[bl02]

Good for Gravey number two. Hope he's the real deal

 

[Hunter Gathers]

No, I said playing banged up which is actually vital during the playoffs.

Pivoting, skating backwards, hitting, blocking passes,shots is not important?

 

[BroadwayStorm]

McIlrath is better than Girardi and Holden put together.

Not for defense, apparently.

Rangers: Hockey is different here (for our fans).

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Great win guys!

 

[nevesis]

Solid win again boys, wasn't pretty at the start but they redeemed themselves.

Because it's a bunch of overblown crap as usual. He's a totally whatever, non-consequential defensive player who's being made out to be cancer.
