The standings don't matter...you know the Philthy Phucks are gonna give the Rangers hell and goon it up if the beatdown begins. Fuck 'em right in the ear. Take two points from these orange-clad cuntrags and keep the train a rollin'.
Lets fucking go, boys
I'm only half kidding
Fuckballs.
He struggles getting the puck up ice, as has literally every defender on this team (McDonagh has been worse than he has historically - Stralman was incredible at this).
I think he's hampered by Moore. He doesn't suck - That's overreactionary silliness.
I do miss Stralman, though.
Sather has been doing the Boyle dance for years and now he's here ...5 years too late IMO.
Let's all just watch closely down the stretch in these meaningful and tightly contested games to see what #22 yields. Then we should have a very goid idea of what we'll be looking at come playoff time.
I don't think he's made a significant difference. Certainly not one worth his price tag. And it seems like an awful lot of his shots are blocked or never get through.
He's not the worst player in the world but I think it was a poor allocation of resources. Next year will be even worse.

My comment about puck movement was purely qualitative.
Perhaps I have too much of Richards killing PP's in my head.
Boyle led the team in shot attempts differential going into tonight (haven't seen updated stats).
And agreed on your assessment of our allocation of resources.
Boyle consistently loses the puck, gives it away weakly in the defensive end, plays soft on the boards, is a liability on the blue line and cannot fucking skate.
He's the weakest link on the backend. Sorry but it's true.
Yet we hear idiots like Larry Brooks clamoring for him to get more ice time.
He's awful.
Yeah, it sucks to lose to the Flyers (which they havent done much of lately) but a strong showing and win against Nashville (who has last 2 straight for the first time this year) and this game will be long forgotten.
The Rangers
-Could not afford to match Strahlman's deal
-For personal reasons (wife) wanted to life elsewhere
So I don't think the Dan Boyle signing should be looked at in this realm.

You're mistaken. He wanted to resign here, and Boyle ended up getting more AAV as a UFA so obviously we could have resigned non-Evil Strals.
Good work, hudshon
Girardi shouldn't be a top pairing defenseman. I think the things Girardi does well are overrated.
I feel like I'm constantly bashing him - I do like him and think he's a better player than what advanced stats credit him for.
I have watched a lot of Flyers games this year and have paid close attention to the play of Del Zotto. If Sather really wants to add to this team's defense Del Zotto would be a major addition and up grade over Dan Boyle. He's fast, decisive and is not afraid to get involved offensively. He would be the perfect fit for the Rangers and has been outstanding on the power play.
And AV did the same shit to Kreider that Torts did.
Or we're going to just sign MDZ after this year and put him.. where?
