Mistercosmic Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Put Panarin and Rempe together, maybe breadman will start working if he has to fear that otherwise 73 will beat him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take a genius to know that this so called top line needs to be broken up. Not only are they are not contributing but they're now a liability. Whatever he's waiting for it isn't coming. He moved Kakko up to play with the Zib line tonight like he’s the ticket to getting them back on track offensively. That’s really pretty unbelievable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Mika Zibanejad better have as much legacy in his game the rest of the way as he has hair on his head. Because this guy and his stupid bromance with Kreider are hog tying us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 The PK itself has been just as bad as Zibanejad. Can't clear and awful positioning. Huge mess right now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all capable of being downright awful or great at the flip of a mental switch. You just have to hope it aligns for them to produce. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Just lazy. Stupid and lazy You know what? Our top guys have been very up and down this year in the playoffs. Panarin has had down moments (now) but also performed. Kreider played God for a moment, but has been hot and cold. Mika has just not done enough, I’m sorry. Outside of a hot spell in the 2022 playoffs, he has been an unmitigated mess. Sorry. Love the guy. Love the potential. But it’s not even the results right now. He is playing like a full fledged idiot right now. No desire. No digging down. Nothing. Can his boyfriend throw another Tablet on him? Maybe that’ll wake him up. If not, he can go back and DJ at EDC in Stockholm for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richter35 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Breaking up the bromance is not necessarily the answer. The bromance needs to be productive. Mika has been atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausman Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Looking back, I believe the phantom holding call midway through the 2nd was the turning point. Up until then the Rangers were up and the Panthers were down. But that call and the legit delay of game penalty a minute later shifted momentum, especially after the Panthers scored to tie the game 1-1. I don't like it when the officials determine the flow of the game -- either way. Tonight, they had an out of bounds effect IMHO. Granted, pros have to get past that. But these are two elite hockey teams with very different preferred playing styles. IMHO, officials have to read the game and only call penalties where infractions take away a scoring chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple Florida players hovering at the blue line. Why not make the pass to the guy heading to the net instead of such a high risk play?! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mika manages to thread the needle (only one guy to beat), that's a grade-A chance for Cuylle. Worst case, you get a rebound tap-in. Why oh why do you not do that instead of passing it across the blue line?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird that a coach of Laviolette's stature doesn't seem to even entertain it. No one who has been behind the bench has either, really. It's a clique or something and they're afraid to do it.

This is our highest paid center iceman doing the exact opposite of what you’re supposed to do in overtime in the playoffs. And he’s done it, as well as most of our d corps, all series.

RodrigueGabriel Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 If Lav wants to send a message, it's time to reward Laf with some time on PP1. Zib seems like the logical guy to swap out at this point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
