Flip side I give him some credit for the line tweaks. I really like Miller with Brass and Zucc. Miller can be a better Pouliot. I like Nash playing with Stepan. And as much as I think Fast is better suited to be a 4th line player, he has played well and I am okay with him on the line with Nash and Stepan for now. I also like moving Kreider down to the 3rd line with Lindberg and Etem. So I like the shakeup of lines AV went with last night. One other comment, we need to get this PK fixed. It has been terrible. Funny how our PP has been an issue for years, now that we have improved there (7th in the NHL at the moment) our PK has fallen off (17th in the NHL at the moment). We need to get it corrected, because we have allowed a slew of PP goals against the past handful of games and it has really hurt us.
Happy New Year! Nice way to finish 2015 by finally beating Bishop. Hopefully Hayes was given a wakeup call and understands that he can't keep playing like he's the only player on the ice. No need for a jury on McIlrath for me, he's clearly demonstrated that he can play in the NHL, he's as good as any RH dman the Rangers have on their roster. Boyle has played better and is on track to shatter the anemic numbers he put up last year, couldn't be happier that he's finally helping out. Totally agree about player rotation, have been saying the same thing since preseason. Hank needs to rest more too. I thought the call on Glass was bs too, thought Stralman should have been called for a slash before his reviewed goal. He hit Hank in the face and shoulder before putting the puck in after the whistle and should have been treated the way CK was when he hit Bishop high. Glass was a +3 in the game (has to be his Rangers career high) so I wouldn't expect him to be sitting anytime soon.
