In a way I disagree. I think the role he is supposed to play is a key role. His role is to put in tough shifts, protect his teammates when...
ehhh...really not sure what to make of him...up and down past 3 years with 31 pts in 112 games. Seems like a speed guy with not much grit but we'll...
Agree 100%. He played no role on this team...added no consistent physical presence and was weak along boards. He's not paid to score but 6pts in 66...
I missed the Kings also- who have won 10 series and 2 cups ! The Rangers have definitely performed near the top as of late but their time to get it...
Not sure about those stats- 3 teams have won more playoff series and 3 have as many as the Rangers in last ten seasons...and most importantly all...
You said it all right there....the Blackhawk management group knows what it takes to complete a roster. Just look at the top of the Blackhawk hockey...
Ehhh...Sather's smelly cigar is still going to be in the organization. It's a title change...that's all. Gorton and Schoenfeld have been running...
Sather seen napping at draft table.... no one falling for his "player in demand" . His time has come and been gone for decades.
not winning was not a result of the moves Sather made. It was a result of moves he did not make...not adding the dimension of grit and toughness....
2 things stand out for not getting it done this year that most people are just glossing over: -as much as St Louis was responsible for the run last...
I am humbled to say I wrote both these guys off earlier in this series. Both these guys dug down deep and were ultimately the difference in this...
Good summary. But if we see it, you know the management of team sees it or do they...whether that be Sather or whoever is in charge ??? What role...
When your top guys are going (like blackhawks now) you end series early and move on. When they are being held in check, which happens a lot in...
Agree 100% on Glass. Glass is a Vigneault man from his Vancouver run. The guy provides no spark, hardly forechecks with grit and rarely ever fights...
Chris Kreider just might be one of the dumbest guys out there. He has let the league/refs intimidate him away from playing like a beast (at least it...
Right on the money Prod. No playoff type role players who play with grit except for maybe Zuc. Rest of roster just believes in "puck possession",...
just doesnt come to play as a power forward every night...
dont think Kreider's value will be any higher...sell !
Everyone knew this team would have trouble with smash mouth playoff hockey early in season when Isles pummeled us 3x. Yes, we went on a nice run but...
Look no further than Stepan and Kreider...they show up once every 3-4 games. Stepan is simply a 2nd/3rd center, no speed and cant win a draw....
