<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cupofcoco</b></div><div>I am sure you would be one of the fans who would criticize Laviolette too when he benches a player like Zibanejad for his poor play. Also who are you playing him over? Rempe? Brodzinski? Get a grip dude and actually watch the games. Mika does so many good things defensively that go unnoticed. He's putting up a good amount of points.
You are one of the types of fans that annoy me because you just evaluate a player off of a bad stretch. If I see you praise him for his good play I am going to go crazy!</div></div>

Mika has been a shell of himself offensively this year. He refuses to shoot, constantly defers. He no longer seems to drive play up ice, wants to be a passenger. Hes been turning over the puck, even in these wins, at an alarming rate. Come on, the game against Philly, 4 turnovers while on the PP... thats brutal. Sure, is he finding ways to be productive? Yes. But its very obvious that something is very different in his game this year, and not for the better.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>What do you mean a position that doesn’t exist? Lol Berard could easily play where vesey, Rempe or Edstrom are right now

Dude he played 5 minutes total in a 60 minute game lmao that’s 4 less minutes than brodzinski, cuylle and goodrow. Like I said, they cannot go into playoffs with two guys on the 4th line that Lavi doesn’t trust. If he’s not playing them in a regular season game, than he’s definitely not gonna play them in the playoffs</div></div>

Do you think, if he calls up Berard that hes getting more than 5 minutes? No. None of these new kids who are just barely wet behind the years are going to play important minutes. Theyre gonna go out there, be stop gaps to give other guys a rest and try to leave a mark. Thats it. Unfortunately there were a bunch of penalties called this game, as well as it being insanely tight, so the amount of minutes they could play was limited.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>Well it’s mind blowing that all these guys can get a call up, but Berard with 20 points in his last 22 games and plays all situation minutes, cannot get a call up. If they trade Berard, they’ll probably regret it

5 minutes today is pretty damn bad lol especially when the 1st powerplay unit looked gassed. Pretty much all the top players not named Laffy all looked like they needed a breather. Panarin double shifted multiple times with Rempe in the box</div></div>

Again, youre asking for a callup to a position that doesnt exist.

The team was gassed because of the way the Flyers kept the pressure on them all game. 18 shots in the first period, thats Rempe's fault? The Rangers did it to themselves by having a ton of turnovers and allowing a dozen odd man rushes, particularly on the power play. All things that Rempe has absolutely nothing to do with. Rempe was in the box for 5 minutes at the very beginning of the game, thats it.
