    Yea it would be cool to have Laf on the 1st unit But it’s not ideal. You don’t break up a top NHL PP unit bc you want Laf to get more points. Also doesn’t help his next AAV. Trocheck is not only the best Faceoff guy on the team but one of the best in the NHL. You don’t want to lose 30 seconds to start the pp when Mika loses 2/3 draws against the other teams defensive minded center

    I agree with Avery with being disappointed for these past 30 years on the handling of this team every season we expect better we get excited we get pumped then it happens again. The previous season in the Playoffs the excuse was they ran out of OXYGEN then last year certain player were hurt not 100% so why play them as for their Cap they have to utilize their money wisely because i truly believe one player is not gonna win games for them . Kakko plays the game with a uncomfortable feel same way Laffy played last season and before then they now have Laffy floating for a open shot which increased his point percentage. Cuylle will have a super 2024-2025 season.

    1994 taught me that it's not worth getting too emotionally invested in something over which you have no control. No matter how closely you follow the team or how many games you watch or how much you know, nothing you do will affect what happens on the ice. And even if they win the Stanley Cup, it's not going to improve your life in any lasting way. Sure, there will be celebrations and a parade and it will be fun, and you'll be proud of your team, but in a few weeks all of that goes away and the world returns to normal and your life is no different. It's better to just sit back and enjoy the games. See every season and every playoff run as an opportunity for some enjoyment and community, but don't get so into it that it kills you when they lose.

  • @TuboStokers19
    @TuboStokers19 4 місяці тому

    Jonny, the Rangers basically played the hope game with the NZ flip. They would always stretch a forward, then send both wingers down the wall just in case of a wrap (in their own zone) and basically tried the hammer play where that NZ forward would put himself in a spot to receive a flip or a direct pass and have the two wingers come through the NZ with speed to catch guys off guard. They never had support coming back through the middle of the ice in their own zone and they were lazy getting back for pucks which is why they turned pucks over constantly or would just have to always flip it. No support coming back into the zone killed any momentum of breaking the puck out clean and then mix that in with wraps from the D to wingers with their back to the blue line and a panthers D crashing down on them just trying to chip it and see if they can get a quick break. Not sure if that was a laviolette thing or not, but thats what I watched back numerous times

    @marshallshuford4569 4 місяці тому

    Guys please address Miller and see him for what he’s actually showing. Super talented but gets beat way too often not to mention not getting the puck out consistently. I would have him practice in training camp without a stick so he moves his feet better and not rely on his physical ability to play defense. I love the guy but this needs to be corrected.

    I don't want guys to be traded BUT if the price is right and the pieces coming back are good I'd consider it. Especially Mika. Panarin to a lesser extent. They have proven repeatedly that they run out of gas in the postseason and that they are easy to game plan against for opposing teams. They are good for selling tickets but not winning championships. That said, if we run it back one more time, I'll still be super excited. If we could land a Brady ChuckChuck in Ottawa (somehow) I'd instantly put us right back at the top. I'm just dreaming at this point, but he is the kind of player this team needs.

I think I sounded a lot like Avery when the devils would come up short. Losing like the playoffs hurts like hell but I will say, you’re only 26 and as you get older, you will realize that there are more important things in life than your sports teams. The disappointment will still be there, but it won’t last nearly as long as I’m sure it will last now. Believe me I’m as die hard of a devil fan as there is, but I’ve just learned over the years to let it go a lot sooner when they disappoint me.
