I would've whacked the fuck out of Crosby's hand/arm if I was the defenseman on that play. Where’s Marc Staal when you need him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time. I really like the idea of Gauthier in the playoffs. I was thinking about this through the OT periods of GM1. I was thinking the same in GM2. I think his ability to skate up the wing with the puck and force the puck to the front of the net can pay dividends! Players have to back him and look for rebounds. I don’t think there is anyone who drags the puck to the next as often as Gauthier does on the Rangers. Yes, he doesn’t score much but, with how tight the playoffs is the Rangers can design a bit of a strategy off those kinda plays. It’s worth trying.

His skillet could be a good fit in a time, where nobody has the balls to take the puck to the net. He also can be a screen option infront of the net. A guy that big that plays that style may be one of those playoff performer types that put it together when it counts. Or he could be what he's been. Kinda disappointing. Either way, I'd rather see almost anyone in the lineup over Hunt. I'd rather Mckegg over Hunt. He atleast has a skill or 2. He can PK, and maybe win a faceoff. Hunt does NOTHING particularly well. He's the '22 version of Mike Hartman or Greg Gilbert. Kinda just there... Edited May 6, 2022 by The Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Let's be honest folks.....he was a vital part of getting us here. Hope the team does him right and gets to round 2. Rest up Goodrow!!! Hopefully you'll get some more hockey in this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Gauthier if put into the lineup would be a threat on the bottom 6. He may not score but he will draw penalties. He may take some too, if he can keep that part of his game under control I'd play him. His speed and size is built for playoff hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Sucks - if a broken ankle he’s not coming back. it’s ok tho, opens a hole in the face off circle but the first two games our bottom six has been excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Huge loss. He was fantastic for us this year. Also, cheers to him. If the injury happened on that shot block in the 2nd period as many suspect it did, that means he played 4 periods of hockey with a fractured ankle. Hockey players are the fucking best. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I'd rather see Goat in the lineup than McKegg. We could use some speed on the 4th line. Gallant loves 'kegg and will use him, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s ensured that his size and speed are irrelevant. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 This team is on serious trouble if there's any expectation of getting anything out of Gauthier. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 McKegg at least can kill penalties and win an occasional face-off. I rather play him than Gauthier who is a goalie interference penalty waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kick save and a beauty Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) I know we got him for his leadership and experience and like many others here i loved the value we got over the first 2/3rds of the year but.... Am I the only one who thought his impact was way down over the last six weeks or so? In any event, get well soon. Next man up.
