One of my pet peeves this playoff series was when Gus took the needless penalty that would have given us a 5 on 3 when he went after the panthers player who bumped Shesty. Mind you we already had 2 Rangers on him but for some reason Gus felt it wasn't enough. It peevs me because when you have so few scoring chances against the panthers, you shouldn't give them the opportunity for a missed chance like that. There were so many mental lapses by many others but that one got me for some reason. I wouldn't mind seeing him and Trouba gone.

Before the playoffs started I did not expect the Rangers to win the Cup because I expected Mika, Kreider and Panarin to disappear at some point. Which is what happened against FLA.

This core group of players just cannot get it done deeper in the playoffs. It's the same issue every time. They're just too soft and totally wear down against these bigger more physical teams. We need a big center who can go both ways and bigger defense. These kind of teams are the ones that win. The Floridas, the Tampas from a couple years ago, the Kings when we lost the finals- same issue. We got out-physicaled every time.

Listening to your assessments, I agree with so much of what you’re saying. We certainly didn’t get playoff value at the trade deadline. If Trouba is gone, who do we get to replace him?

@mattvillano7126 Ай бұрын

Trouba has 2 years left with a no movement clause. Perhaps they can discuss if he would accept a trade, if not, he will be bought out. He should be stripped of his captaincy regardless. 8M is horrendous for his lack of awareness on the ice. There's no excuse why he went to hit Rodriguez without the puck. Zib is locked up through 2030 with a full NMC, at 8.5M. Either Kreider or Lafreniere should be named Captain. Laviolette also failed to adjust playing style.. they should have been playing a puck-posession game, and CARRYING the puck into the Offensive Zone, not dump-and-chase. The Panthers were beating the Rangers to pucks on almost every dump in.

@michaelbacchiocchi8111 Ай бұрын

Agreed with most except the comment about Lavi. In the Panthers series, every forward other than Laffy attempting to carry the puck in was stripped or pressed up at the blue line. We had some success with Miller and Fox doing that but there’s a risk doing so. I’d like to know who the Panthers Strength and Conditioning coach is, as it really is remarkable how they skated around all series long, especially this late in the season. Rangers players looked gassed by comparison. Or did Maurice use more profanity…

@theBoogerman666 Ай бұрын

Unfortunately the Rangers tried carrying the puck into the zone, and it wasn't working. Lavi had to try a dump and chase scheme, but that didn't work for us either. We couldn't always get there or if we did, we lost body position and puck battles way too often. Not the coaches fault. The Panthers were simply out playing us, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. We'll be back. LGR

It's not for a lack of effort from Trouba. He does try I'll give him that, but he just sucks. You can fix a lack of effort. Sucking is terminal. Now we have to hope that there is some stupid GM out there that will take this bum off our hands. There are probably 7 players I would get rid of this summer as well. I just don't know what is out there to get back. At some point we'll have to give the prospects a serious look I guess. The D totally has to be rebuilt. 2 possibly three guys you keep the rest can bugger off. I do not want any of these forwards back - Kaako, Wenberg, Ros, Wheeler for sure. Maybe keep Vesey but he could go as well. I just really admire what he and Goody did in the Devil line brawl. That was the ultimate in comradery. The elephant in the room is going to be what they with Mika. Mike looked like he was ill. Some say its a lack of effort or disinterest. It was so bad he looked ill to me. I just wanted to slap him in the face and wake him up. Way too many years left on that bloated contract if this is what we have to look forward to. Seems like he's more interested in playing music than hockey.

Agree about Trouba. He had a horrible playoffs. I think he is still dealing with the ankle injury he sustained earlier in the season. I don't think the Rangers buy him out. He is UNTRADEABLE. The Rangers will ride it out one more season with him and bury him on the third pairing and buy the last season of his contract out next off-season. Mika is the bigger issue. I think his best days are behind him. Suddenly the Rangers have issues at 1C an 3C. Im done with Kakko and Chytil. It's not going to happen for either of those players in NY. They should be traded.

Jacob Trouba is a dreadful captain and NHL defenseman, and agree that he should be bought out immediately ---- HOWEVER ---- as bad as Trouba performed in these playoffs, NOBODY was worse than Erik Gustafsson. The worst Rangers defenseman in the playoffs since Bruce Driver in 1996. I challenge anyone to rewatch these playoffs over the summer and tell me otherwise. What gets overlooked with Gustafsson is the repetitive turnovers and failed clears that are washed out by Igor Shesterkin. His penalty in Game 5 may have cost them the series, if you believe like me, that the Rangers would've cashed on the 5 on 3 to go up 2-0 in the game. The fact that Peter Laviolette played this dreg in EVERY GAME this postseason over the better player(s) (Jones/Ruhwedel), should tell the astute observer everything they need to know about "Lavi" during crunch time. He's a terrific regular season coach until the big boys show up in late spring.

Trouba was terrible in the playoffs. The other underperformers up front at least backchecked and played decent defense. Trouba did not, and that's his main job. The bonehead play he made on the Bennett goal basically killed their season. You can't be paying $8m to what is now a 3rd pair defenseman. They need to dump him on someone. He's got a modified NMC, so that leaves 17 teams as options. Get it done. It's Jones time.

Our core is soft. Trouba needs to be moved. He was completely exposed against Canes and Panthers. There is no place to hide him. He is too slow and all he can do is block shots. His hockey IQ is low and makes poor decisions all over the ice. Panarin, Mika, and Kreider had two chances at going to the final but failed. This is the furthest we will go with them. They scored a grand total of 2 goals in 6 games during the most important time of the season. One was during garbage time by Panarin. That is unacceptable. Build the team around Laffy, Cuylle, Schneider, and Rempe. Everyone else except Igor should be trade bait.

NY’s defense was the worst I’ve ever seen. Miller and Trouba were responsible for at least 6 goals against. The giveaways and the Panthers ability to gum up the neutral ice were key. Clearly in game 6 there were too many opportunities and shots that were fired wide of the net. It’s the Stanley Cup. You CANNOT miss those opportunities. The Panthers were the better team and were driven to win with a relentless forecheck, and man to man coverage in their D-Zone. The Breadman who is one of the best passers in the NHL was intercepted a dozen times. The Panthers game plan was for all intents and purposes was flawless. Give credit where do.
