seems like another case of GG being GG. Copp has been great with Panarin but he definitely does not have the offensive potential that Kakko does
- picklerick

I just think there wasn't any time to get Kakko back into that spot. They can't exactly experiment with him there during a tight PO game. I think he would be fine but he has not been there at all in months.

ah don't think i noticed that, but then again i think pp2 has more ice time this series than the whole season

They are getting close to a true split between both units because PP1 refuses to shoot.

Post has learned that Rangers have been notified that there will be no hearing or fine for Jacob Trouba for hit on Crosby.

Biggest advantage the rangers will have in these series is the 3rd line. No one can put out the talent on a 3rd line like that, maybe Florida can. But the top 6 needs to be better for that to become a bigger factor. Zib especially. Panarin too

Yeah Kakko not on the PP is not something I see as a big deal. In that situation I think the guys out there have more offense as of now

Kinda surprising, kinda not.

It's getting close to the point that he needs to replace Strome or something. I don't think Strome adds anything to PP1 right now and they have too many RH shots.

I know he scored last night, but Fox has not been very good. Really need him to be better

Yeah. Strome should be replaced by anyone

Pretty sure Igor gets the Vezina, Matthews gets the Hart

I think he’s definitely hurt. He may have to adjust his game in the playoffs a bit. He doesn’t get hit like this in the regular season

That's pretty cool.

Still nice to have a player get nominated.

I could be wrong, but I don't think he is hurt. I think he just isn't playing very well. This is technically his first real playoffs, so he might just be adjusting.

Yup, and to be honest he should be. He had an insane regular season. I just don't see him winning both. I think the NHL likes to spread the wealth around now

Having Braun with him hasn’t helped tho. He is a different player paired with 55.

I love 55He may be my favorite ranger since Girardi

I have tshirt with my dogs head on Lindgrens body. Need to get his jersey

I agree. He might be a little banged up but not truly injured. I think he was having a hard time adjusting to life without Lindgren and it makes him looks slow and indecisive. We still forget that he has had a short time in the NHL.

I don't think the NHL has any control over that. I think he wins the Vezina convincingly but the Hart will be a tight race. McDavid should be thrown out because they also have a nearly as good Draisaitl. Matthews is playing on a much better team so that might go against him. His goal totals/GPG are insane though.
