Drew a Penalty Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Well yeah but there were 4th liners out this this summer that were better options and cheaper but we decided on other useless guys lol I don't know. Rooney and PDG have been solid. Blackwell was solid until injured. They didn't get established guys but got solid role players. The problem is that you have fourth-liners playing off the fourth line.

Dunny Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Imagine trading McDonagh for Hajek because you wanted Shattenkirk instead, and then buying out Shattenkirk to pay for Trouba, all the while you could have just kept McDonagh for less money and term, and now you have to play Hajek. Holy fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Lemieux, Boyle, Simmonds but not sure Simmonds was ever in play since he wanted Toronto after no other real other offers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could use a faceoff specialist, though. I think the only player to struggle on the fourth line thus far is Gauthier. He looks lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 McDonagh and Shattenkirk played on the same team, but yeah. Yeah, but his signing forshadowed McDs departure. It's exhausting. They also lose Pionk in the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes offensive lines match up against and are ineffective and a real grinding hard hitting 4th line grinds you out a lucky goal (or two) and wins a game late.

I don't think the team ever thought it would come to trading McDonagh when Shattenkirk signed. They were convinced they could do a quick retool and stay in it. Shattenkirk's first season just proved to them how bad they were. His contract along with others handcuffed them from re-signing McDonagh. In principle, trading McDonagh wasn't a bad idea. They tried selling their most valuable asset. They just sold him for a fucking bag of rocks is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Varlamov just owns us. Can’t explain it Shesterkin played very well We were good defensively, got some grade a chances, won most of the puck battles. Just couldn’t beat the goalie. Undone by a mistake from a taxi-squad defenseman who went into the year like 9th on the D depth chart. Way she goes boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Uninspired, underperforming. Won’t even get on Libor. It’s the third d pairing. Would seem silly to expect defensive masterpieces from a 3rd pairing unless....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powerplay was a dud and the usual suspects are still missing. Misplays by the 8th and 9th defensemen on the opening depth chart cost them goals.

The issue is that a now point per game JT Miller was also a throw-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Lafreniere invisible again. Of course the Rangers luck into the #1 overall pick and don't get the best player in the draft (Stutzle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
