Could go Lindgren-Fox, Miller-Schneider & Jones-Gus but it will never happen

12-2-1 when Rempe plays now 6-5 when he sits. Brodzinski doesn’t bring enough to the lineup to play him over Rempe.

Miller making an ice angel. Trouba clueless. They are a match made in heaven tonight.

They finally hit Hathaway too bad it was with a Lindgren slap shot

There’s Hathaway being the douchebag he always is.

Tough game for Miller. Falls down on first goal. Deflects second goal in. He must be upset about OJ

Not sure how our announcers don’t think that’s a slash. It’s a full wind up chop.

Worse part is the Rangers were in the middle of having a scoring chance. One of the most bizarre plays I’ve seen.

We will see. Don’t remember much being done to Hathaway in past games, but my memory isn’t so great these days.

Not as gritty as past Flyers teams but they have one of the dirtier players in the game in Hathaway.

Rangers insider says Chytil isn’t playing again this season. Hopes are that he might be able to travel with the team if they have a deep playoff run.

Chytil had a 13 game heater where he scored 11 goals and had 16 points. The rest of the season he had 11 goals and 29 points in 61 games. Like I said other than that heater and the playoff stretch 2 years ago not overly impressive. Yes he will score more than Weinberg but he can’t defend, penalty kill or win faceoffs. Not worth the risk in my opinion. But everyone is entitled to have their own opinion.

Isn’t he 6’8”?

For anyone curious the Rangers are 6-4 in games that Rempe hasn’t played since he played his first game against the Islanders.

Team is playing well. Kakko is playing his best hockey of the season with Wennberg . Goodrow, Brodzinski, Vesey has been a good 4th line. Chytil has never impressed me other than when he got hot for a few games in the playoffs and for the 1 stretch last season. Why risk changing the team chemistry for Chytil? We aren’t talking an all star. And who knows what he comes back as. Too risky a move for me in the playoffs. If it was January or February I would be in favor of it.

Only possible way I see Wheeler playing is if they are up 3-0 in the finals just to say he played on a Stanley Cup finals winning team. At this point Chytil coming back in the playoffs in my opinion doesn’t help them at all. Comeback next season if possible but this season should be a foregone conclusion that he sits out.

Without a doubt he’s a matchup guy but the last 3 teams are gritty teams. If that isn’t the matchup he’s here for then why is he here?

12-2-1 in games Rempe has played this season. That’s a .833 point percentage. Don’t think he’s hurt the team much when he’s played. He gives the team much needed energy and it seems to me the rest of the team plays bigger and tougher when he’s in the lineup.

I’ll wait to after Hathaway cheap shots Zibanejad, Panarin or Fox to say Rempe should’ve played this one.

These last 3 games I think should all be Rempe games and tonight I would go Jones over Gus and Quick in net.

Beat Philly tonight. Beat Islanders Saturday. Rest players against Ottawa.

Islanders are falling right into the Rangers trap. Penalty kill made the game not over.

Not that he was spectacular but if Shesterkin didn’t have the decent period he had it would be five or six nothing. That was an embarrassing first period. Maybe the worst period of the season.

Defensive zone coverage can’t get any worse in the next 2 periods. Islanders have Shesterkin flopping around because he doesn’t know which open Islander is getting the puck

Not sure why Gus is playing over Jones anymore at this point.
