Concussion. That’s unfortunate, he seemed like a solid blueline presence.

I don’t really keep up with them that much and he seemed like a fairly solid D in the few games I’ve watched of theirs.

If you put him back out there you’re going with a cold guy who isn’t the fastest even when he’s heated up. He’s a valuable role player but the way the game progressed he just couldn’t go back to him.

You are a fan not a player.

Second, Bickel sucks, you dont need to be a decent coach to know that.

Third, the only reason why he gets ice time is because the Rangers want to dress six D, and in case of injury or extreme fatigue, he gets time

Torts is a d*ck. Always whining with a sour puss on whenever something negative happens. Wont even comment on being a Jack Adams nominee, weak man.

He’s only been on the ice for 1 goal this postseason and was a plus player in the regular season. He also plays a good physical game and always sticks up for his teammates. I think the kid has done a great job this year.

There were plenty of intermissions for him to get warmed up in.
