I would agree however he's also our #1 TE and moving him into the backfield would hurt our "safety valve" help and would also increase the chances of the defense knowing when we are going to run. I would watch out for Babicz to take Ricci's spot if the staff still wants to keep Thompson as the 3rd TE.

Rod needs better assistant coaching around him to help with the small things and special teams.

Necas definitely should have. Really you could've benched any of our "top guys".

Whenever we can take advantage of the powerplay and stop taking so many penalties. Our top guys have to stop going MIA in the playoffs also. These past 2 series would've ended in 5 or 6 with us playing Tampa if we did those things better. I think a lot of that has to do with coaching and Rod has to get a better assistant coach to help him out. Adding a couple of snipers will also help us be more opportunistic.

It's hard to pinpoint because all of our top guys go MIA

Raanta had to overstretch because he was shoulder tackled by the Rangers

fug these refs. Im close to just not watching sports all together. The blatant favoritism from refs and nobody calls them out for it.

wtf no interference?

That would be sweet.

I can't help but to think its the coaching when we continue to suck on the power play along with all the penalties for the last 4 years and our top guys suddenly go MIA. It's frustrating as hell. It seems like Rod is a master at the basics, but it seems like we are missing all the details needed to put us over the top. Maybe we need a better assistant coach to help with that. I'm not sure, but something has to change in the future if we want to win a Cup.

Surprised they didn't give Nino a fiver there. It was the right call for a change. Nino couldn't help that Lindgreen stopped in front of him with the puck going his way.

Refs are killing my love for sports. It's gotten worse as the years go by and its no coincidence its about the same time as betting has become more widely accepted.

Btw, even if the hit was clean, why was that not charging or roughing or something? The puck was long gone.

Announcers saying what I was saying. Why are we letting guys getting so close to Raanta.

Wait, I just saw Trouba's right skate leave the ice wtf?

So lets aim to the head on all our hits, just dont leave the skates.

Yeah that hit on Jarvis was to the head, should've been a penalty

He's been fine. His last game was on him, but he shouldn't have been out there to begin with. He should've been rested. That decision looks to have hurt the whole team tonight. You guys are expecting elite goaltending when he is a backup who has been performing above average with many flashes of great saves. We would not be where we are without him. If you want to blame anyone, it should be the skaters and coaching for why we look complete ass on the road and why we are always undisciplined and not opportunistic on the powerplay.

Instead of blaming every goal on Raanta, you should ask why do we keep letting guys get so close to him that he gets screened or someone else gets a free skate in there for a deflection. The Rangers are doing what we should be doing. Making a crowd in front of the net. I just saw Vinny actually get out of the way of a shot when he was already in the way of Igor's sight. It's like we are missing a lot of details out there.

I know you guys want to hate Raanta so bad, but that was a deflection right in front of the net.

I'm not sure how many more seasons we can go into the playoffs under Rod while keep sucking on the powerplay and taking too many penalties. Not going to win a Cup that way.

I need to see that hit to Jarvis closer. Looked like to the head.

Svech has not proven his worth for the contract he has.

He was screened and scored on after a great pass by NY. I'm not too mad at him for that.

great puck handling by NY passing between our legs. Raanta was screened too.
