Less about the 2nd more about Beck not being worth much of anything. 8 min a night player. Again, cool
- SDSabre

Keep in mind who our GM has been (he's not going to all of a sudden turn into Jon Cooper), so likely options for us were to bring back Okposo, trade a 2nd for Beck, or trade a 7th rd pick for someone that belongs in the AHL.

Expecting above average things from Adams isn't any different than thinking Beck is worth a 2nd round pick. At this point, I'm not sure I want or trust Adams to make any significant trades, as i fear it could easily be along the lines of Jack Quinn for Eric Robinson.

(edit) Lightning GM Julien BriseBois not Jon Cooper

Super dirty hit again. I really hope to see a Rangers player get lambasted like that, Rags fans would blow a gasket. I'm kind of surprised no one has tried to run Bread or Kreider yet.
- QuinnFan

Nothing dirty about it. Right through his chest. Keep your head up if you dont want it taken off.

Watched it several times, it's as clear as day to me. Trouba is one of the scummiest players in the game. If he wasn't a Ranger, that's a lengthy suspension.
- QuinnFan

I think that judgement is based more off of Trouba’s reputation/history than anything else. On this occasion he didn’t do anything wrong (imo, of course).

Trouba is on McLeod level hate with Quinner.

We all know how thats been going with Ryan.

Take another loss Quinn. Have a lefty we all get there sometimes.

First rule in fvckin tyke's - If you're coming up the neutral zone with the puck KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

You think I cried about high hits when I got leveled coming through the neutral. Fvck no. Grow up. Take some accountability for your own actions. Everyone around you doesn't have to wear fookin bubble wrap.

Whoever brought up trading for that guy in the offseason. Make him GM. He's playing great so far.

Yeah, he looks good this Year. For saying they wanted to cut his Ice time I think he's still playing 21-22 minutes a night.

I believe those who said we should bring in Trouba, were then subjected to the continuous accusations of wanting Lucic and Reeves.

Can't hit a goalie, ever. Sorry.

"According to Rule 69.2 of the NHL rulebook: in all cases where an attacking players initiates intentional contact or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, whether or not the a goal is scored, the attacking player will receive a penalty."

There is no clause that says the goalie can be hit when playing the puck.

It's also textbook charging.

The only thing I hate more than a good hard clean hit having to be answered with a fight is players who turn their back at the boards and people crying about players getting destroyed because they have their head down/watch their pass

The fans usually assimilate with other fans , when it comes to opinions on players .

Why does trouba get so much rangers fan hate?

That’s my concern with Trouba , why would the rangers want to trade their captain? Aside from the $ we can’t afford to add to the defense budget.

Power needs more ice time not less by adding a goon defender imo

or McCabe on Laine.

Good point here too. It is typical for coaches to run it back after wins. Do think Krebs has earned some more minutes though, that's why I could see him dropping Quinn down a line and putting Krebs or Greenway in his place.
- QuinnFan

No, I don't think Krebs has done anything to warrant top 6 time.

Trouba or Lucic on Miller?

Agreed, 👍

Players also need to take responsibility for having themselves in a bad position to receive a hit.

Its not all on the hitter , dual responsibility imo

- Buff36

Since you called Trouba a train, I'd expect a derailment in his play.

He has not shown an ability to sustain this kind of play for years now.

No, I don't think Krebs has done anything to warrant top 6 time.
- Lunaion

Krebs is off to a good bottom 6 start. He’s been noticeable this season at the very least .


He’s a 13th forward at some point this season

The past few seasons, Trouba has been seeking big hits over playing quality defense as his priority.

No idea if that's due to a realization that his skills are diminishing.

Trouba or Lucic on Miller?

Lucic. Didn't watch Trouba yet.

- BuffaloHerd

I’m going to let this go. But thank you for bringing up Eric Robinson. Talk about an equivalent player. Don’t believe me check his usage and impact when on Buffalo last year and Becks (small sample size, but his usage/impact hasn’t changed drastically from Wash).

No, I don't think Krebs has done anything to warrant top 6 time.
- Lunaion

I loved how he played with Tage and Tuch tbh. I would've stolen JJP for Cozo/Quinn a few games ago based on it. Isn't like he's producing a ton, but he's been significantly better than Quinn or Benson, who are getting those top6 minutes. Only two options outside of Krebs are Greenway and McLeod, but I think Lindy likes that line with Zucker and is reticent to break them up.

You're so anxious for change that you're leaving off no change. Benson in for Kulich, maybe Krebs stays as 4C. Basically the opening night lineup. They are playing decent hockey and there's reason to think the 2nd line will figure it out with a healthy Benson.

Read some interesting info. on the Ducks:

Mason McTavish was "demoted" to the team's listed fourth line for Tuesday's game alongside Brock McGinn and Brett Leason.

Zegras playing on the third line with Killorn and Lundestrom in more of a defensive role.
"From a construction standpoint, while unorthodox, the three players fit together. Lundestrom and Alex Killorn are two of the more defensively responsible forwards on the roster, and while Trevor Zegras' reputation in that department isn't stellar, his play since the start of the 2023-24 season says otherwise."
