The 2010 Flyers this Rangers team is not.
Same goes for the Bruins.
Of course knowing this rangers team they will battle back to 7 games just to break our hearts, and give more credence to Tortorella's system.
I'd scratch Richards for game 4. If Clowe isn't healthy play someone else for Richards. Need something to change things up.
Hags-Stepan-Nash-
Kreider-Brassard-MZA
Clowe-Boyle-Cally-
Pyatt-Asham-Dorsett.
One game at a time. Take game 4 and all the pressure shifts to Boston for game 5.
Line 1 worked early in the year before split up.
Line 2 would give you some speed with great vision.
Line 3 would be a perfect grind it out kind of line.
Line 4 can grind as well.
No natural center for line 4 but we aren't winning faceoffs anyway.
You can say line 2 might not be that good defensively but at this point we need to take some offensive risks.

Makes me think his injuries weren't concussions. I highly doubt he'd be coming back so soon after two concussions in close proximity, unless he's that desperate for a contract??

Hard (like avalanche hard), constant, and cohesive forecheck required. Stop making Tory ****ing Krug look like Paul Coffey. Oh yeah, everyone show up. Even you Beaver, if dumping the puck in is all your fragile psyche can handle, then get it deep, and don't do it at stupid times.

I honestly think one of Clowe or Staal and we take this series to 7 or win it.
Staal because he's our #1 D. Clowe because he adds a spark to the team and they play much bigger with him in the line-up. For all the talk about us getting outcoached, I think a lot is to be said for this team not having that spark and that identity building player, like Clowe is or what Avery did for us when he first came over. It used to be Callahan was that player but his ability to inspire the team has diminished and judging from his vanilla post-game interviews, I can see why. For whatever reason, this team has a soft psychological side -- it's maybe Tortorella's style wearing on them -- and a tough, confident, leader on the ice would have made a big difference.
And yes, I want Clowe back.

Would like to see him complete ONE full season without being injured.
If I'm moving McDonagh, I want a player that can prove to be healthy for at least one season.
72 pts - Not elite
90 or better - now we're talking elite
Just stay healthy...something Hall has yet to do.
No...lol...Most the same players were on the team that lost those 4 in a row for the Bruins. So they are more than prepared to not let it happen again. Can be done, but it will be much harder. But Rangers win in 7 in one of the greatest come backs in playoff history the NHL has ever seen. It is already written. LGRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
Brett Hedican wasn't half the defensive stalwart that McD is. So, in his last full season McD being 7th in the league regarding ES points by a D-man isn't good? Stop.

3-0 in the series is an elephant sized hole.
How do you eat a whole elephant?
One bite at a time.
Win the next game.

The toughest part to handle is that this team has its collective heads up their ***es. We can all see the potential if they went on a tear.
And the Richards decline is just unfathomable. That has to be the story of the season. I've been watching hockey closely for 15 years and I've NEVER seen such a drastic and abysmal decline. One season he's a struggling star with game-breaking potential and the next season he's a minor leaguer. This has to go down as one of the worst non-injury related declines of this era. Talk about bad, bad luck.

that and the 90 point projection only includes about 30 goals; not 50 or more. He's a very good player. But his team loses alot and he gets hurt alot. So, you cannot call him elite yet.

If they trade McDonagh I'm done with this team.
McD-Girardi
Staal-Stralman
Moore-McI
That's not bad in front of Hank. But who knows what happens with the Carolina/Staal situation.

So an elite player must:
- Score 50 or more goals.
- Score 90 points.
- Play on a winning team.
- Stay healthy.
Am I missing anything?

McI isn't ready. I hope he surprises and earns that spot out of camp, but all I hear is that he's not ready.
Beyond pumped to see him in preseason come September though

Look at Jagr at 41. He's obviously slower and gassed after his shifts but he can still pass, be shifty on the ice, knows where to be on the ice. He still has a hockey brain. What happened to Richards hockey brain

Even with Eminger in that spot it's pretty good.
