Why acquire Sheppard if he's not going to play for us?
Do injuries never happen in the play-offs?
It would be irresponsible not to have good spares for a team with contender pretensions. Ideally they would've acquired another NHL level D and F. I don't think the cap allowed them to.
Injuries should be expected in a sport like hockey. It's a team's own damn fault if they're not prepared to win after losing a few players.
Never.
This is how I expect the Rangers to play.
I knew them winning games 6-5 and 5-4 wasn't going to last. The Rangers are stacked on D and in goal but leave a lot to be desired on offense.
3rd in NHL in GPG. 1st in ES differential. How about the 27 teams below us in scoring?
If the PP didn't slide all the way down to 20 they'd be scoring more goals. It's actually remarkable how good the offense is with a below average PP. That's where other teams get a big boost in scoring.
Arniel needs to make systemic adjustments. Other than a huge shot from the point, the other parts are here. They need to really stress shooting to the players. Threaten with loss of PP time if necessary.
