That's how he rolls. That's how his brother rolls too. Find the guy on the ice whose least likely to give you a beating, and go grab him.

Everything can always be better, if you expect perfect 60 minute domination of every game in the playoffs you'll always be disappointed. Laviolette even said this a few days ago. Could some players be better? Sure. But you choose to focus on the negative for some reason, instead of the fact they're 6-0 right now with the hottest goalie in the playoffs. Why not enjoy that? Feels like if they win a Cup you'll complain about Panarin not scoring enough or Zib not having enough 5v5 points, which is wild.

Even your hyperbole has lost its edge.

Sure, and it was great for a Tuesday night game in early March against Ottawa. But now we're down to business.

Last night was the first time Trouba has been on for a goal against in the playoffs. Yeah, that pair had a horrific game, which at the end of the day cost the team nothing. If you're always wanting more from a 6-0 team maybe it's time to re-evaluate your expectations.

He was the best contract in the league this year.

Exactly. So why are people losing their minds if a guy who plays four minutes gets swapped out?

You just described Rempe, who's much worse at hockey than Brodz.

Yes, because he didn't have Wennberg and Roslovic to push guys down the lineup. Now, he shouldn't have to. Brodzinski was a 3rd liner for half the year, but now he can't be a regular 4th liner for a few games on the road? I don't buy that. Yes the Canes played 9 forwards last night. I'm not talking about the Canes and I'm not talking about last night. Rempe playing 4 minutes a games is a big enough issue in a 60 minute game, it's even worse when he sits in a 2OT game after period 2.

They exist. In the same world where Mika isn't good at setting up other players. You really can't make this shit up.

Why do you care what I care about is the better question? Your love affair with me continues.

I don't even understand why we're still talking about Strome. Nobody complained about signing Trocheck over Strome on July 1. No one. Last year Tro and Bread were oil and water so it was easy to wonder if they made a questionable choice. Now they found their chemistry. This year he became the player everybody said he would be last year (but wasn't), so why are we still talking about a guy who hasn't been here in two seasons?

Is Rempe sits next game and they lose... Then all you have to do is put him back in.
