Injury Report: Tyler Motte out with "significant" injury

[DanielBrassard]

Motte would be great to have back if he was replacing Rooney or Reaves but we all know he'd be replacing Hunt which really wouldn't be an upgrade at all.

Lmao i know we want rooney out of the lineup but cmon Motte is an upgrade over Hunt

Are you arguing for McKegg? Because that would be awful.

McKegg is the only player worse than him.

Someone else can lose 60% of their face offs while being an offensive black hole and defensive atrocity. Put Hunt at center and I don’t think it would be any worse.

The answer is Brodzinski though.

Hunt was fine last game. Hunt is quick. Reaves and Rooney can't pressure Letang that much who is a master of evasive skating.

Hunt and Chytil can keep up with him.

he likely is but Hunt is better than Rooney who should be the one coming out. he’s by far the worst player on that line.

I absolutely agree.

The surprising thing with shoulder dislocation is that generally speaking if you’ve had only one then a little bit of physical therapy should be good to go for you to come back and play in about three weeks. So I don’t know his history of possibly having other shoulder dislocation‘s which make it a little bit more difficult to come back.

That’s sort of why I thought it might be a clavicle fracture just from a timeframe standpoint.

Game 6 on Friday would be five weeks in recovery, hoping for that, would be a nice addition.

Or, the Rangers just win in 5 tbh.

Just want to jump in and say, I really liked Motte's game in the two he played against the Penguins. Especially on the PK. He did everything right but score on his breakaway (still got a great shot off though).

I feel way better about our 4th line with him playing. Now only if we can get Goodrow back.

Someone please change the thread title. I see it come up and I get hives.

This almost gave me a heart attack

Tyler made the rest of the team look really slow. Obviously he is FRESH and those legs were a churning. Thought crossed my mind, that his missed breakaway would be our last really good chance to tie the game. Thank goodness it wasn't.

Next year, 4th line consists of Motte/Goodrow/Blais?

What team woudn't want that? Speed/Experience/Physicality coupled with solid defensive play.
Point is.....any one of them would/could/should be on the 3rd line.
But if they are the 4th, makes Rangers quite the well rounded "roll the lines", with little thinking from GG........type team.
