Playoffs Rangers-Hurricanes Round Two — General Series Thread
RJWantsTheCup replied to Phil's topic in New York Rangers
Pretty sure they won’t but they should at least think about it. He wouldn’t look so bad if they actually used him like a 3rd pair defenseman who kills penalties. -

Not sure if I read it correctly but a buyout of Trouba costs 2M a season for 4 years? Might be worth considering. -

That’s his second swing and miss this series. 1 more and he’s out? -

Captain Minus the human traffic cone has a nice ring to it. -
Rangers fans will always have something to bitch about. When we win the cup it will be we took too many games to do it.
-
41-22-3 record without Rempe in lineup for a .621 winning percentage. 21-2-1 record with him in lineup for a .875 winning percentage. That’s the entire season including playoffs.
-
It may very well be smoke and mirrors but the only way to prove it is win without him which they haven’t consistently done.
-
They also lost against the Islanders and Philly without him in the lineup and looked like total balls in both the games. It’s definitely silly to be arguing so much about a 6 minute or less a game player but there’s a weird dynamic about him playing. There’s 1 way for the arguments to stop and that’s them winning without him which they haven’t been able to do enough.
-
Can’t say I disagree with you but again only 8-7 when he doesn’t play. We can only surmise what playing or not playing him would do in the future. Again there’s an element to him playing that’s unexplainable to what it means to the team. There’s too big a gap in the record with and without him to not be considered. At home where you can control the matchups should be a no brainer to play him in my opinion. On the road is the real debate.
-
There’s arguments to both sides about Rempe playing or not and I understand both of them. But, 8-7 record without him in the lineup should be speak loudly in my opinion. There’s an intangible to him playing that really is hard to fathom or explain. Doesn’t matter if he plays less than a minute or 6 minutes.
-
They do need his physicality and his penalty killing but you don’t find it odd that he played about 8 mins more than Schneider and Miller when they both have been markedly better than him recently? If 1 game didn’t matter or a string of a couple games than he wouldn’t have been taken off the 2nd pair with Miller.

Very true and Fox has taken 1 one timer in the past three years.

Couldn’t find an end of the season total but Bouchard led the league with 7 slapshot goals at the midpoint of the season. It isn’t what it used to be but it still is used in today’s game.
