COACH TOTORO SAY REFEREE CAN BANISH WHISTLE TO LAND OF WIND AND GHOSTS!

I really can’t believe it. I don’t know if this is just the usual NHL medical quackery and he is just one hit away from catastrophe or if his time back in Europe really got him to a good place (prolly the former) but I’m thrilled that he is able to join his team for the playoffs. You know, if he stays healthy- legit concerned for the guy.

Maybe the Rangers found the spinny chair that Pittsburgh used for Crosby.

Noticed that Kuch has 144 points and a +8. I can't imagine having that high a point total with such a low +/- is common. It is not.

The third line has been their 2nd best line in the last month once they got Wennberg, but im not opposed to Chytli and Wenny playing together since they can both play C and wing. I just wonder who the odd man out is. But agreed, I dont think he should be exposed to Wilson.

Tyson Barrie played in 85 games last year.

Bill Guerin also played in 85 games in 2000-01. Those are the only two to have done so outside of the early 90s when it was an 84 game season.

I don't think you can break up that third line. It's going to be interesting seeing where he slots in IF he actually slots in.

Eh, Wenberg wasn't a bad pickup but he doesn't bring much offense. That line would benefit greatly from Chytil at center, or at least then move Wenberg to win and slide Cuylle down.

Chytil hasn't played much wing in a long time, not sure it's the time to break him into that, but who knows. Rangers are probably going to play coy about whether he's in the lineup until gameday

As for Wilson...I dunno, he's either healthy or he's not at this point. If you have to protect him then just sit him until next year or he needs to retire. If they move on to round 2, who's the next guy we're gonna be saying "yeah but he might hotbrain Chytil better hold him out"

Don't gently caress around in the playoffs thinking "it's ok we can rest so and so until round two" . Play your best lineup you can.

e: SLC had a series of decent minor league teams back in the day. I guess now it's the ECHL team, Utah Grizzley's that play in West Valley, but way back in IHL days they had the Salt Lake Golden Eagles and then after that Tommy Salo played for the Grizzley's in their IHL days.

Everyone is fully aware Wilson can do some nasty poo poo but he isn’t what he used to be, you are acting like he is the goddamn terminator. If you start sitting guys or letting a player get in your head because you are scared of hypotheticals, that’s how you lose a series. And on the flip side, I’d love a double major in a close game with one of the leagues best power play.

Rangers are obvious favorites but it’s a dumb random game and anything can happen, play your best players and keep your heads up.

This is incorrect, Winnipeg already secured home ice in the first round against Colorado.

Vancouver vs Winnipeg tonight is for second place in the West and so would determine who would have home ice if they meet in the 3rd round.

E: maybe you meant home ice if Edmonton and Colorado meet in the 3rd round?
