Can't wait to see what creative way AV uses to keep McIlrath out of the lineup.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Well it didn't look good, that's for sure. Time for McIlrath to start actually playing some games.

Get well soon Kevin.

 

[eco's bones]

That really blows. I was hoping it was a sprain.

 

[Osminator]

Paging Chris Summers/Rafael Diaz from Hartford...

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I wanted McIlrath in full time, but not like this.

 

[JT Kreider]

At least now he has to play McIlrath, right?

Right??...

 

[rangers1314]

Paging Chris Summers/Rafael Diaz from Hartford...

Is Diaz healthy yet?

Why are you acting like AV didn't play McIlrath every game the last time Klein was injured?

Yeah, that's fair.

I guess it will be more fun to see how he keeps him out of the lineup when Klein is healthy again.

Because it's the right thing to do.

Well, when it comes down to it, the Rangers played pretty terribly when McIlrath got a bunch of games in last time. Not saying it's his fault, but the results didn't favor keeping him in.

He's certainly had such a great record of icing the best lineups and deploying people to their strengths this year....

Again, last time Klein was injured, McIlrath played in every game.

Concur.

Anybody have an idea how long to heal properly/he is out?

 

[Captain Lindy]

This is not good.

I find this logic very odd. But, that's me

I think you'll find that McIlrath is very rarely on the ice for 5v5 goals against, so, I'd be hardpressed to put all these losses, or the Rangers playing poorly, on him. And making him the scapegoat to leave the lineup.

It's just odd logic, again, to me.

It's not, and if the coaching staff says, "hurr durr the record isn't good when he's in the lineup," the coaching staff is a bunch of freaking idiots. He's a better player than a couple above him at this point, period.

Exactly!

I'm thinking the 5 defenseman lineup.

Hes not wrong. The rangers did play terrible last time klein was down. But that had nothing to do with Dylan. He was tremendous

Right. My issue with the logic is that he seemed to be okay with Dylan taking the heat for it.

Perhaps I read the post wrong.

I don't really pass judgment on decisions the coaching staff makes. Everything about managing a team or a group comes down to finding the right team formula. The individual's performance takes a back seat.

It makes total sense that a coach would go back to a formula that worked better, in this case having Girardi, Klein and Boyle as your RD. Now, it only kinda worked. If it were me, I would have eventually tried a different formula of Girardi, Klein and McIlrath, but I get why AV would take McIlrath out when Klein came back.

 

[Edge]

I like Klein, but I'm starting to wonder if the guy will ever play a full season for us.

 

[McRanger]

Great. A RD goes down and again its ****ing Klein.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Not good news. I hope his fractured thumb heals quickly.
