Great to see @Loffen back home. Hope you’re doing well my man

Thanks, broski. All good, just haven't been on here that much. Been lurking every now and then.

Hope everybody around here are doing well and stays healthy. Let's f***ing goooooooo.

Unpopular post time and this is not a knock on this kid whatsoever..

But..

How long into the game does KM get pulled from 1st pairing and JJ/ADA replaces him?

I actually think DQ has done a nice job allotting ice time to kids.

His defensive system on the other hand....

 

[NYR]

Have your depth players fight then.

No such thing anymore.
Fighters have to have skill now.
Everyone whines about having players like Glass, Haley but the game has changed.
Add to that, DQ don't know how to run 4 lines so players like Kreider are gonna need to step up.

It kinda goes hand in hand, no?

 

[NYR Viper]

I’m intrigued to see how teams allocate ice time this season. More condensed schedule and with opportunities for shorter benches at times where you may need to lean on the healthy guys more, will they try to spread out time when they can more so this year?

Can't wait to see Jacques Martin's defensive scheme.

Gonna miss Greg McKegg. He had a leg for an arm, and an arm for a leg.

I'm quite certain he would suddenly figure out how to play his fourth line if he had a fourth line worth playing.

 

[Leonardo87]

Got my Fox, Panarin leg kicks, and Mikachu gifs ready to go!

This has been an issue for way too long.
They need to figure it out already.
You aren't winning shit without a competent 4th line..

1) Shortened season
2) Games only played within division
3) Playoffs determined within division

That pretty much makes every game a 4 point game, and there's no breathing room in the schedule. Crazy stuff. No days off, no low key West coast games at 10PM that everyone forgets about the next day

Let’s f***ing go.

Might get tired of watching the same few teams over and over. Otherwise ... rivalries will become more intense then ever!

That's what I'm dreading the most. I'll really get tired of watching the same teams.

 

[will1066]

MSG is cramming as many last-season games as they can before tomorrow.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

That's what I'm dreading the most. I'll really get tired of watching the same teams.

especially the Islanders

 

[will1066]

Phone battery at 13%. Drawing it down to 10% before plugging it in.

 

[CasusBelli]

Games against the Flyers and Caps are fun. Isles and Devils are tedious. The rest are meh.

David Quinn 10 minutes into the game:

 

[EpicDing]

So happy to see this thread.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

It’s - it’s... beautiful.

Sniff.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I just get tired of seeing the same team regardless.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Man I am so hyped.

But I would put money down that they will give up a goal against or take a penalty on the first shift

 

[offdacrossbar]

im ready for the opener....

its been too long boys.

over/under for benching ADA for his defensive deficiencies playing with the corpse that is Jack Johnson. poor Tony, he drags Marc Staals carcas around for a whole season now he's got the boat anchor Johnson.

should be fun.

 

[JCProdigy]

Positive vibes. We have a lucky Praying Mantis on our team now...

 

[BreadKick]

Just checking. That's can't be real.
