Ugh. Fast shouldn't be in the top-9, let alone the top-6. That line is doing nada and needs to broken up ASAP.

Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Switch Fast and Miller, and those might be the best pairings and lines that we could put out there.
Boyle struggles against Washington. They are very physical. For this game, its a good decision.

2 games over an 11 night span...what a complete joke. But be assured i'm sure they PACKED in the games for us at the end of the season right before the playoffs start.
edit - YUP! 6 games in the final 10 days of the season. Doesn't fail with this league.

Old Boyle is done, every game is a struggle. He needs a rest now and then..
Did it ever leak what happened to his family early on in the year ? I recall the press guys saying that Boyle was darting off to deal with some family emergency. Maybe whatever it is / was is eating at him on top of getting older.

Why do people want Miller in the top6 so bad? He has been poor so far this season, despite getting a few assists. Defensively he is a liability. There is more to playing in the NHL than scoring goals.

Has he really been that much worse defensively than Kreider, who sleepwalks through ever shift, often turning into a statue in the D zone. Constantly failing to clear the puck.
If Miller is a weaker defensive player, don't you want to maximize his offense to off set it? I want to see him in the top 6 to see if he can jumpstart Kreider-Stepan because right now it's just not working with Fast.

He's on pace for about 40 points. That's not a poor sophomore season IMO

Outside of his assists Miller is killing everyone he's playing with.
The only skater that's a positive in CF% with more than 20 minutes of Miller is Kevin Klein.

And I still believe there is more to NHL hockey than putting up points. He has 6 points but is an even +/- while guys like Stalberg (+5) and Lindberg (+6) who he played with regularly are much better in that regard.
Miller is the only guy on the team to have played more than 3 games to not be a + player. That is telling something about his defense.

Miller's points so far:
- Assist on Klein
- Assist on Lindberg (3)
- Assist on Hayes
- Goal assisted by Lindberg and Yandle
Klein is +8, Lindberg is +6, Hays is +1 and Yandle is +4. Yet, somehow Miller isn't a + player.

Was thinking the same thing.
Has he lost a bit? Sure. I'm sure he has. But he doesn't look happy either and not just in that photo.
Something is probably up. I feel bad for him.
Happy birthday!
(Since 2003 Rangers have played 5 matches on November 3'rd, Rangers won 3 of those. I'm sure you don't bring any bad luck!

why is my name here?
Stalberg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Miller in terms of who should be in that top 6 slot over fast.
Miller is lucky to be in the top 9 at this point the way he's been playing his one-sided game.

That line was excellent in a number of playoff games. Not sure why giving it a look now is a problem.

It's tough, this is why you cannot have BOTH Staal and Girardi on the same D corps...
Clearly a hypothetical here, but pretend that Girardi and Boyle were swapped for Ehrhoff and Diaz. You could now do:
McDonagh-Klein
Yandle-McIlrath
Staal-Ehrhoff
Diaz
Ehrhoff can play both sides, that makes him very valuable.
Then again I suppose Diaz is the same thing as Ehrhoff, which is why AV wants him back up. But in that case, then one of Staal or Girardi need to go. There's no room especially considering their caphitrs
