Not sure what people were watching asking to break them up. Panarin-Trocheck-Kane shouldn't be touched.

I'd be in favor of switching Kakko and Tarasenko to be honest to give Laf and Chytil a shoot first player on that line
I'd like to switch Lafreniere and Vesey to give Chytil and Kakko a fighting chance.

I'm under no illusions that Chytil and Kakko are Lemieux and Jagr but the puck bounces off Lafreniere's stick like f***ing flubber.

I'm fully on the bandwagon that Kakko etc. are poor development but Lafreniere just sucks.

Oversized junior player in a scoring league. No NHL skills.

At least Byfield is worse

Penguins gain again.

They're getting closer. They have a really easy schedule. Rangers better show up in the three games over the next two weeks or they could fall to WC 1.

"Hey we got Patrick Kane all is well".

Stargazing bullshit.

What's everyone shitting themselves over the Pens for?

Right now, WC1 would match us up with Carolina. Would much rather see them than Jersey. They fall apart literally every playoffs the first time they play a decent team.

I'm never taking a top 5 pick out of the QMJHL if I'm the Rangers ever again.

Sometimes it's like the three of them have holes spontaneously appear in their blades. Receiving a pass is a 50/50 proposition for them. So many times a pass is right on their tape and just goes under it or through it. It's infuriating.

Gallant's gonna have to adjust his offensive philosophy. Panarin, Zibanejad, Tarasenko, Kane...are not some gritty grind 'em goal-scorers. Let them shoot the shit out of the puck. Embrace offensive zone creativity. Stop with this emphasis on getting dirty goals.
Absolutely need greasy goals. Attacking the goalie’s doorstep collapses the D and opens up the rest of the ice. Whichever team dominates down low usually wins.

I'm sick of my favorite teams being ran down by rivals.

Doesn't matter how big of a lead a team has, it can just disappear

I'm way more upset that they won than we lost.

They've won 4 in a row. I see a big run coming from them. It's what they do late in the season

Carolina and the Devils are equally good, it’s going to be tough no matter who we play in round 1.

The Devils are probably better than Carolina.

Ol' Jimbo, who we used to scream at for doing too much back when he thought he was good offense, honestly handles the puck ten times better and it's frightening.

WC race very tight with 20+ games left….

We literally play Pittsburgh 3 times in a week later this month, crazy.
