Zib and Panarin are the focal point but not to get ahead of myself as this team could steal game 6 but the rangers need to address defense.

Fox health is a 1. Schneider and miller are 4s. Trouba and Gus bottom pair. They have no real number 2 or 3 dman and it’s shown big time in the past two series. Major breakdowns in their zone

Did Chytill or Roslovic play tonight?

Honestly would rather Wheeler back in next game. While slow at least he was noticeable and played a heavy game

Roslovic has had some moments, but he wasn’t the right deadline move. Hopefully Chytil is fully back to himself next season, but he’s done nothing so far. Agree Wheeler provides more value, and although he gets pooped on, missing Vesey out there.

Panarin has to be hurt, no? He gets into 1 on 1 positions every game and can’t get a shot on net.

I think its just harder to find space in the playoffs and Panarin loves space.

Sit Roslovic. Cuylle back to third line. Wheeler or more likely Brodzinski on fourth line in Game 6

Drury refused to use Kakko to get Guentzel. Making a big difference now

This defense wasn’t great all year except for a short run in Nov. I wanted chycrun at the deadline for that reason

Eerily similar to 94 is all I got. Symmetry still alive. Cards say we have to win b2b after game 5 loss when they were dead and buried like they were then. No one gave them a chance

Need another hattrick by Kreider, and a guarantee while he’s at it

Meh idk if I buy that. I think I heard it was leaked by the canes

We’re definitely a RW1 short above everything else that they may need. A fully loaded and healthy Chytil would really be a boost too. That injury really puts them in a bind because he isn’t fully there being out so long

We’re so close to winning it all

That’s the problem they have to win it this year. Core will just be older. Laf and Igor’s cap hits are about to double or triple in the next 2 years. Can’t move any of these NMCs. It’s now or never

Hard to fill that spot when they gave out some bad contracts.

They need to upgrade that and their back end with some bigger defenseman that can move the puck

He’s being double teamed essentially 🤷🏻‍♂️he has no space. People act like he’s Tkachuk and he isn’t lol where he can barrel through people. He needs space to be effective and Laf is getting most of it

Why is he making 11.5 million a year? Has to find a way to make an impact

Whatever man. People can kill him all they want, but he’s not the biggest guy and he simply isn’t physical. He’d get hurt playing physical. This is a very hard matchup for him.

Also on the powerplay he has time and space. But isn’t doing anything with it. It’s not all his fault but like we said these are legacy games. Right now his legacy is he can’t hack it in the big playoff games. He still has a chance to change it but it has to happen in game 6

Panarin is a fantastic player. He just can’t be your best player bc he can’t adjust in the playoffs to make enough of an impact

its a team sport
- evitageN

Yeah it is. And in 5 of the 6 gamed this series Igor Shesterkin's team has played like poop. I hope goes up and down to every one of them and berates them.

The problem is when he takes up that much cap space he has to be the best player. Why the best they could do was add Roslovic at the deadline

I cannot wait until he's traded. One of the biggest draft busts ever. Guy gets slower and more tentative every shift he plays.
