And I hate the whole, we need to get bigger and tougher talk. imo its so dumb. No the team is plenty big enough, especially our defense. Our best defenseman is rarely ever physical. We need effort. I dont want a team of lumbering big guys who only check and can't score on an empty net.

Yes, NYR's average height is fine..lol..its just that our big guys don't play big...or dont have it in their DNA to do so, or refuse to change their game when circumstances demand it.

Lindgren and Fox are small

Schneider and Trouba are average/slightly above average

Gus will be gone (maybe replaced by jones) who’s small

Miller is big but plays small

We need to get bigger on defense as well as offense.

At the end of the day its about what are you willing to do to win. How far are you willing to go?

The Florida Panthers rank 25 in terms of average height across the league. The Rangers ranked 5th.

Will be interesting. Edmonton has been putting up goals. Lot of their players in the top 10 scorers this playoffs. FL not so much. Curious to see if FL can play their style against EDM or if EDM offense will find a way.

Oh I agree..just pointing out that it's more about how they play then jist size. Gotta get bigger/tougher on D. and up front, but NEED to find players who are big/tough and can keep up with pace and move the puck.

Something that cant be measured in size or weight. Its a desire to win, at all costs. Wanting to win so bad it makes you sick. Going out there, willing to risk it all, not just for you, but for your brothers. To be a band of brothers. Its something that needs to be felt throughout the locker room.

Heres the problem…

Draisaitl, LAF and Shesty’s contract years are all in the same year.

So if Florida loses to Edmonton it's because they didnt have the desire to win at all costs???? Nonsense .......you can have all the desire you want it comes down to skill and a game plan to maximize teams skills . Even after that there will be highly skilled and motivated teams that dont win the cup.

I want Fla and think they will win, I dont want the Oilers, its just not fair that they had two generational talents. I think the Oilers jumped 3 spots when they took Mcdavid, they screwed over Buffalo.

Edmonton is so lucky with recent history. 4 kicks at that can and they were lucky enough to get McDavid. They have nothing to show for their Hall and Yakupov picks.

If the Oilers do win, I will absolutely pile on the Rangers passing over Kris Knoblauch in favor of David Quinn.

Why wait till they win they have already gotten to the finals. If the Rangers had McDavid and Draisatl as their top 2 forwards I would bet they would have gotten into finals. Knoblauch wasn't turning the team that Quinn inherited into a winner. Seems like a ton of teams passed on Knoblauch.

On Trouba:

"Out of the 35 goals that #NYR allowed in the second and third rounds, Trouba was on the ice for 17 of them. You've got a guy where speed is an issue, where defensive lapses are an issue. It looks like the best role for him moving forward is a bottom-pairing role."

Sick $8 milli for that

And over the last 5/6 yrs almost every team in the NHL hired new coaches and passed over him!!!

What are you missing? If he was so highly thought of why did almost every other team in the NHL pass over him the last 5/6 yrs???. Rangers took a shot at Quinn didnt work out .
