Once again, I give tons of credit to AV for this win. Perhaps we should give him a little more time before we fire him?
Why's that? I don't disagree at all, but elaborate please?

Love seeing the rangers not respond to stepan getting hit like that. That was no accident.
Nash head shot = no response
Stepan head shot = no response
Glad he returned but that was a real dangerous play

The team came prepared to play their opponent. AV also kept his team calm when they could've been out there taking runs, and penalties, after the Stepan collision. He matched lines well. It was an AV gameplan top to bottom.

4) Del Zotto sitting. I frankly don't believe he was really sick.
Nash stuck up for Stepan... at least he has some heart. although it does not look like much at times.. i wish the Rangers didnt have so many emotionless players.
Nice to see McD and Moore together on the points ... they're both capable handling the puck. I hope we see more of that.
I see no reason to make up a fake illness if you want to sit someone for their lack of play. If he is sick, he was sick. A team isn't going to make up a story like that for the hell of it...
How about this for a plot twist. They don't buy our Richards and keep him permanently as a LW. He becomes the top 6 LW we've been looking for. Even if the penalty on the last year or two of his contract is bad (5m+) it would be worth dealing with if we get 3 years of quality Richards as those years will be our main window to win. Thoughts?
And if you're trying to trade him...?
I just don't see that happening. The Rangers need the cap space. Even if Richards has a fantastic season, I don't see him being a Ranger next year.
Agreed... but I am worried about his size. Don't get me wrong - I'm a fan and have been since he was drafted. And the good news is that he's got the right game for his frame - but he does need to bulk up a little if he wants to be a difference maker.
That said, it can't be underestimated how well he's playing in the role he's been assigned. I counted at least half a dozen smart defensive plays he made in all three zones this game.
re: Stepan/Brouwer; Is a careless hit like that really "better" than an intentional hit? i.e. if I run a red light and get pulled over, does it matter if I did it on purpose, or if I just wasn't paying attention? He clearly had time to not hit him [Stepan].
PP has looked good all season. Simply, concise, lots of movement. Bravo.
