Are these the same fans that everybody here has been ragging on for being hockey stupid? One more time for the people in the back, I don't care if Carolina does dumb shit. I care if my team does.

Yes, so they should undo all of that by dressing 11 forwards. Makes perfect sense.

I don't care about Carolina. If they want to do the same dumb shit, that doesn't make it a good idea. How did Vegas win last year? They had four lines and three defense pairs that they rolled. They won with depth. Comtois dressed because Kuznetsov took a stupid high sticking penalty that the Rangers scored on which eventually wound up being the game winner. None of them care about Rempe because they know the NHL is neutering him. Which is another conversation entirely.

People who are saying they don't care about how many minutes he plays really should be. Because our best players are soaking up those extra minutes, and it will make a difference in rounds three and four. Tired players make mistakes, and tired players get hurt. The main debate is not whether or not Rempe should play. The main debate is that you can't dress a guy and play him for 4 minutes, no matter who he is, or what role he serves, and have that be sustainable over the course of the entire playoffs.

You left your belt here by the way.

And yet somehow they've won so many games before he got called up...

Where's the one after you got beat up at the bus stop?

The Rangers generate enough HDCF and convert enough that they shouldn't be throwing cupcakes at this kid and letting him feel the puck. Make him work for it. That's not shot volume, it's shot quality.

This makes me so happy. That we could finally stop talking about Rempe playing.

Agreed. He's a shot suppression specialist. No matter how good ADA has been over two games, he's not Pesce.

The NHL will want a Canadian team and they will be hard into nostalgia.

I'm not really feeling like there's any type of bias that a lot of you guys are talking about. Let's be honest, does ESPN really want a Carolina / Dallas final? Of course not. What they should be hoping for is Vancouver / New York.

Yeah the expected number... That seems weird. But the chances number feels right, equal high and mid, Carolina more low danger because they're chuckers. It's interesting because last season I felt Tro was a chucker and this season he was much more selective and he passed much more. Coming straight from Carolina, you have to wonder if this Brindamour style actually stifles the creativity in creating a great opportunity in favor of volume opportunity and preference to score on broken plays.

He's staying in Philly tho ...
