Rangers v Sharks (game 3 of 82)

I don't get McIlarth benching in the the third.

I thought having Beuk here would finally give Mac a guy in his corner. So far it looks like nothing has changed. That makes me think there may be some issues we all arent seeing.

It could've had something to do with McIlrath taking a really silly penalty at the end of the second period.

I don't think they think McIlrath thinks the game quick enough still to play him that much. They're sort of forced to now so we'll see how he does in 4/5 games in a row.

He stood up for his goalie who got ran over.

Great to see this start of the season from Kreider. He can be a 35 goal guy if he commits to playing like this every night.

Yes. AV is a moron with McIlrath. However, they lit one of the best teams up in the league for 7 goals. And they dominated another one in the Blues and should have won that. This offense looks as good as it has since 1994. Trading Skjei would be a huge mistake. Do I want Trouba. Yes. What would I give up for him? It will probably take Miller, McIlrath, Nieves and Kovacs. Something like that. Not worth it. He wants huge money. I don't see a fit as a trading partner.

I'd rather hope Nash gets red hot, trade Nash and a couple of medium prospects for Nichushkin. It's clear he has given the Stars the finger. Playing in the KHL for two years at 21. Time to steal him is now. I think he has a chance to be another Zibanejad type. It would be a mistake not to acquire him.

Great win, glad to see playing McIlrath had no negative effects on this talented Rangers team. Burns is an unstoppable force, not many teams shut him down. After Hertl tripped Raanta (perhaps accidentally) he tripped Staal pretty hard behind the net and the no call by the visually impaired ref led to McIlrath going after him. The crowd certainly appreciated him popping Hertl who was foolish to drop the gloves but I guess AV didn't hear that. Hard to be too critical of a team leading the league in scoring, best is to enjoy.
