Did he get hurt before or after we clinched playoffs? if he latter, he shouldn't have been in the lineup.

It was before. Wasn't a matter of being in the game, just was an unfortunate hit. Win 2 rounds and you could get him back for a boost when some guys on the 4th line might be hitting empty on the tank.

Motte in, Rooney out would make a more significant difference than people realize.
Of course it will probably be Hunt coming out.

Getting Motte back for any game this series would be a huge boost after losing Goodrow
With Goodrow out u have to keep rooney there. U need a center. Hunt is odd man out as reaves is jot leaving the lineup (for better or worse)

Motte adds the consistent forechecking jam this team needs, as well as superior PK ability.
All teams deal with injuries. If there is any chance at all to get Goodrow back at some point in addition to Motte to make this team whole for even a small stretch of games, that would be incredible.
And then I think about a 4th line that would actually be this:
Motte Goodrow Blais
But like I said, Pens are down Rakell, Dumoulin, Jarry, Desmith, Zucker. Its never a perfect lineup.

Reaves has been one of the Rangers most impactful players. I almost want to see him on Panarin's line for a couple of shifts just to see if he opens things up even more with a hard forecheck.

Motte has taken 154.
Hunt has taken 40.
I'm not opposed to putting Reaves in the dot and letting him play whackamole. Motte has shoulder issues and will have shoulder issues when he returns, so he probably won't be effective on faceoffs (not that he was when healthy).

Are you sure your source is reliable? Lol, needs surgery & potentially available during the finals? Now he's skating & possible for the 1st round.

I also really like Brodzinski, and think he could be a better option at 4C. I don't think he is much worse defensively, and brings more offense to the table.
That said, based on how they were used especially on the PK Gallant seems to disagree. So it is what it is.

Yes, I was told this was a 12 week injury, but of course these are athletes with access to 24/7 care and the Rangers medical staff is probably the best in the league. We saw guys like Callahan with his subluxation of his shoulder be out for less that 2 weeks when the turnaround on that is longer.
Also, it's possible that it gets to a point where he can play through some pain. The opportunity to play in the postseason is enough to get dudes to do crazy things. Goodrow just likely played through 4 periods with a broken ankle.

I suspect Motte either had a grade 2 or 3 separated shoulder or broken ribs. Look at the hit again. I personally think it was rib cage but my wife (Nurse) thought shoulder separation. Either way, if he is close to returning that's big news. and very good news.
Rooney isn’t a center and I’m tired of pretending he is

As someone who’s seen it many many times, it’s obvious it was a shoulder dislocation. Sometimes requires surgery, sometimes you can Get by (temporarily) with heavy PT and strengthening.
