Despite the optimism of the title of the attached article and others, I don't get the sense that RBD and the rest of the team have much of any idea how to solve the Rangers at this point. https://www.nhl.com/news/carolina-hurricanes-remain-confident-on-verge-of-playoff-elimination

Yeah. That kind of flips the script from where the were a month ago.

If NYR are up against FLA (or even BOS) I could see using Rempe again to help set the tone and establish a physical presence. But don't underestimate the Chytil story. He's been an MSG fan favorite for awhile. He scores a couple and it is a magical, epic tale of overcoming adversity.

I didn't mean to dismiss your argument out of hand. This was always going to happen at some point. I really do think that the pressure the Canes were under to win was going to naturally tamp down shenanigans. That and the need for fresh legs (that Lav trusted) made this as good a time as any. I could see him coming back early in a FLA series (should NYR make it there) and continue to provide usefulness, but we needed different tools tonight.

He was doing that windmill guillotine for awhile.

Tyyyyyypo!

This might be time to gracefully retire any residual anti- Bread takes

I could not have, with a straight face, possibly have predicted that the Rangers would win their first 7 playoff games - including 3 vs CAR. Holy fucking shit.

Oh baybee. Who the hell got it?

Because it just would have been too easy.

Shitfuck.

I love it. Please let ADA lose them this game.

Laf BABY! I think he's figuring out that finishing thing.

They have too much to lose to get too feisty at this point.

I just don't think the argument is significant in the larger scheme of the game.
