Trouba throws big, clean, cornfeed hits I’m sorry you can’t handle that but I’m sure you guys will quote the rulebook at me multiple times this post-season!

He's only in the NHL because the rangers best strategy to win a playoff series is to hopefully injure the other team's best player. We've seen this happen before.

no one should be rooting for the Devils. they have an insanely good cap structure, tons of young talent at all positions, what seems like a pretty good GM/front office staff, and a very forward thinking owner who embraces the poo poo out of analytics.

they will most likely be a dynasty very soon and win multiple cups, and then you all will be as annoyed by them as people were by Pittsburgh, Chicago, LA, Detroit, Tampa, and some of the other perennial contenders of recent years.

now compare that to the big beautiful Rangers who have a bizarre cap structure, some young talent that was projected high but is being turned into Jed Ortmeyer and Tanner Glass by Jed Ortmeyer and Tanner Glass, an all time moron owner, and a GM that either makes really good deals or does Buchnevich-for-Blais. we are likely to be very boom and bust and make space for other teams.

I still dont think the Devils have payed enough for letting Scott Stevens give half the league CTE for a decade so that is why I will cheer against them.

I also dont think the Rangers have payed enough for winning Messier one last Cup or for allowing Trouba to be Stevens 2.0 so I will also cheer against them.

Nobody would be happier if the rangers got rid of Trouba and his lovely contract than me but if you really think the only reason he is in the NHL is because he throws hits that injure paper-mache players then you are beyond delusional. stop letting the rangers live rent free in your head, your team is good

It's a different sport now (a way better one) but Stevens was a WAYYYYYYYYYYy better player.

It's really funny how much water St. Louis media, management, and fans carry for this guy. The Blues are gonna waste Thomas and Kyrou's peak years and pick between 10th and 16th for several drafts in a row. It's gonna be dark for a while

I was reading whatever Blues article and it reminded me that Peter loving Chairelli is a top executive with the Blues at the moment (VP of something).

The mail bag Rutherford gets is funny, every question is “how do they unload the blue line” and even Rutherford, who absolutely carries a lot of water for the Blues, is just like “uhhhh, no one is going to trade for these bad contracts.”

I hope so. I know me and T-Bone are gonna be going at it. but some of the other Devils fans need to get in character. this is Pittsburgh-style posting:

You got a dude (who sucks at actual hockey) going out there trying to give out concussions and injure star players. What would you like me to call it?

i'm a traditionalist. Devils fans should be praying their own guy concusses other guys and bitching about goalie interference and how they're not boring and how the state is actually very pretty. they shouldn't be the ones who are whining about dirty hits to other teams' players.

mass media may ruin everything, but goddamn I don't want every fanbase to sound the exact same. Boston's still going strong with the racism, Toronto's got the Charlie Brown hopelessness down pat, Flyers with the self-hate, Pittsburgh with the "I don't know if I wanna be associated with this league" stuff, Vancouver with Sisyphus-to-9th-place routine...I don't want everyone to just be an optimization analytics nerd. that poo poo sucks if it's all you have

Of course not.

I also really cannot stress this enough; he is a black hole of personality. No matter how good he is at the game it will never really do anything for himself, his team, or the league as long as he is the most boring and robotic stock answer emotionless player to exist.

He's also at 64 goals so still a chance at 70 and hopefully passes Ovi's 65. And 4 points from Yzerman's 155.

That said, if there's some scenario where Columbus winning eliminates Pittsburgh from playoff contention, I'll allow it.
