The New York Rangers’ blue line is buzzing with Ryan Lindgren’s return after a five-game absence. His comeback alongside Victor Mancini has intensified the competition, leaving Zac Jones as a healthy scratch. The Rangers’ explosive start against Montreal, scoring four goals in just 11 minutes, set the tone for a thrilling game. The third line, featuring Will Cuylle, Filip Chytil, and Kaapo Kakko, shone brightly, combining for eight points and maintaining their perfect defensive record. Meanwhile, Jacob Trouba’s controversial hit has sparked debate over potential NHL discipline.

Kakko has been Terrific…..
The Trouba hit was clean!! Let's not take the physicality out of the game. What was handled correct was the extra penalty for going after Trouba.
Mancini constantly impresses, some of his passes and the way he clears the defensive zone, and his willingness to SHOOT THE PUCK!!!!!
As for Jones the real question is why is a 80 percent at best Lindgren back in the lineup up with a full face shield? Let him get 100 percent before you sit Jones. 🙄
I imagine Mancini is playing more than Jones because he will be sent back to Hartford? Any other of the healthy scratch players would have to go through waivers. Also if he plays less than 10 games, he's still eligible as a entry level player again next year?
Man oh man we are putting it on teams so far. Grearlt hockey we got going on! I'm happy for our team and my fellow fans.
Trouba isn’t gettin disciplined that hit was clean people really forget Jacob trouba hits like a truck espn already updated it and said no action will be taken so as I said he’s gonna hit like a stone wall 😂😂😂😂😂
In regards to the Trouba hit, this is what happens when the NHL becomes all speed and skill and no tenacity, grit or violent edge. These kids aren't taught to take and receive hits and maintain awareness when carrying the puck or handling it. They skate around admiring their passes and stick-handling and then get creamed. It's not the checking/hitting players responsibility to let you look up first. If you are playing the puck most often you are eligible to be checked. Act accordingly. Kronwall used to do this all the time defensively and everyone saw it coming and would literally just dump the puck to avoid it. Now players just look down or keep skating as if they have impunity and then predictably so get lit up.
What a brutal play by Lindgren to let up that goal. I don't see how that can be glossed over as being rusty. What he forgot how to play hockey in 4 weeks.
The Trouba Train hit was clean.. Enough Said…L.G.R.!!!!!
Dude, we had 6 posts in addition to the 7 goals. Yes it was domination. Are you doing a podcast in Montreal?
Clean hit, lined up perfect, dead center of chest. It was made worse when his head bounced off the ice, probably would have got right back up if it didnt.
Also, keep your head up and when its 1 on 3 dump the puck, what are you trying to do?
Spilling blood and taking a physical beating doesn't make a good defenseman. Being gritty doesn't necessarily make you a good defenseman. Lindgren is a bad defenseman. The record is not relevant, most of it is from seasons when he was better and before we had better options.
Clean hit. The league agrees
Trouba head line is no need make it something that actually is about the game
Most Trouba hits clean. Never gets a penalty
Great Video, as usual, Jon. I'm only getting Highlights, but, it (The Jacob Trouba Hit) looked Clean; brutal Old Time Hockey, but Clean.
No suspension or, fine for a clean hit.. Trouba Train time…
