Same reason they don’t put Kakko and Lafreniere on the power play because the organization is fucking stupid. How many times do I have to say this. Go look at how many cups they won in the last 80+ years. It shows they clearly don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.
The C does strange things to players when it's on their Rangers jersey. He'll get it together though.
Can we give him some props , since the first Blackhawks game in which he left screaming wake the f up to the bench the team has played a lot better against pretty good teams to boot
https://moneypuck.com/stats.htm He is third on the team in turnovers by a dman in the defensive zone...one more than fox
He's a hitting machine, unlike the ultra soft Jones and Hajek. Team is on a roll after the Captain called out their softness, a dagger in the heart of the old guard posters who hate grit despite it's successfulness.
Considering he provides little offense and is paid 8 million a year, his turnovers are a fucking disgrace. That being said, he usually plays with his head up his ass the first half of the year every season. Why I have no idea. His hitting is great but turnovers lose games. Especially in the playoffs. Hajek was one of our best defensive defenseman this season. He is the best skater on the defense. Even better than Miller. It's a joke he isn't playing every game. If you want to complain about people not hitting bring up Kreider who is a pussy. Or Miller who is 6'5 and never hits anybody. That rub the player out shit he does should never be counted as a hit. I'd like to see Kakko hit a bit more since the dumb fuck Rangers seem intent on using him as a role player like Lafreniere and never giving them pp time.
