A 100 point season elsewhere translates to an 80 point season under RBA. No question he's racking up points, but look at the Rangers and, specifically, his line. JT Miller, 32, $8M AAV for another 4 years beyond this. Trocheck, 32, $5.65M AAV for another 3 years. Zibanejad, 32, $8.5M AAV for another 4 years.... Thanks, but I'll take a 27-29 year old with an upside. Matter of fact, get Schmaltz from Utah for the next 2C. Watch him tonight. He's a UFA after the season, but Utah is in the playoffs right now.

Really hope not. A 34-year old winger on the downside of his career is not what I envision.

Bussi in the starters crease and Shayne Gostisbehere is on the ice and returning tonight alongside Nikishin. No other scratches noted, but with Robinson still out, Philp, although in concussion protocol, was waived yesterday. Jaaska is back, so I think waiving Philp was to make space for Jaaska. Svech - Aho - Jarvis Hall - Stank - Blake Ehlers - Staal - Martinook Carrier - Janky - KK Slavin - Chatty Miller - Walker Ghost - Nikishin Bussi

Rags pulling Panarin off the ice until the Olympic break "for roster reasons." Anyone hearing anything, while I really hope the Canes are not involved?

I'll be at the Mammoth game Thursday. See ya's!

17 of 48 faceoffs.... ughhh.

Wasn't a game misconduct- he'll be back. At least, that's what Big Mike just said.

Did Hall get a game misconduct?

Oh well, no shut-out. But I'm happy with his 19th win and 2 points.

He's been struggling at the dot most of the year, and, at this point, he may be in his head. He hasn't scored in a minute either, but he's making plays.

Yeah, I had to do a double take as well.

Taylor Hall.

32%. 6 of 19.

I meant Matthew, and you knew that, but thanks.

The US team doesn't stand a chance with the Tkachuck brothers. Keith is getting rag-dolled since getting back on the ice for Florida and Brady spends more time looking for a hit than contributing to a goal. Face-offs with the Canes have become a problem.

Ceremony honoring Jacques Martin. 4th line score.

Forward Eric Robinson suffered an upper-body injury on Jan. 19. Rod Brind'Amour told the media after practice on Jan. 21 that Robinson will be "out for an extended period," and further revealed on Jan. 23 that the forward will likely be out until the Olympic break. Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (lower-body injury) last participated in game action on Jan. 13 and is considered day-to-day. On Jan. 21, Rod Brind'Amour said he's hopeful Gostisbehere will resume skating soon. Can someone take a 2x4 upside RBA's head and tell him Freddie should only start 6 more games- the front or back end of the remaining 6 b2b left on the schedule. And find out which of the coaches writes up the shootout lineup?

It's all about RBA outcoaching Paul Maurice, and I don't see that happening.

Exactly. If you ever thought we'd see a replay of the downfall of Aanti Raanta, we're witnessing it now. Tulsky should have been looking for a goalie for 2 months now, and send Freddie down to Chicago. The Canes have 6 more b2b situations coming.

I mean, as soon as Svech scores on the guy, trot out your best shooters while the goalie is still in his head and go for the kill. Last night made absolute zero sense.

Or Bussi off the bench.

No Aho? No Ehlers? F*** whichever of the 3 coaches pulled that order out of their ass.

Yep. 5 minute OTs until someone scores.

3 of the 5 guys were screwed. Nobody rotated down and 2 guys ran into each other.
