He impressively has taken away space from Barzal a few times tonight

His reads and body positioning are so consistent from shift to shift

 

[NYR Viper]

Even just subtle plays like that by K'Andre are impressive for a kid in his second NHL game. He used his size to shield off a forechecker, keep the puck away from traffic, and got the puck up ice for us. He's been really, really good tonight

It’s up and down but that’s to be expected. @Edge had a very solid scouting report on him. He does things where you say ‘holy crap’ in a good way and then he dies things where you say ‘holy crap’ in a bad way. I think the latter comments will subside with time and experience and his size and skating are clearly NHL caliber

 

[kovazub94]

Missing Fast on PK (Kreider & Buchnevich say hi!)

 

[aufheben]

Laffy looking like a 10 year vet.

This kid is showing the rest of the forwards how to back check in his 2nd NHL game.

What the f*** am I even watching? I’ve literally never experienced this before while following this team.

 

[Osminator]

Strome still invisible. PP could start connecting. PK doing really well. Smith having a monster game. Di Guiseppe great utility guy.

 

[Ola]

this game is going to melt the ADA cheerleaders' minds

Or not!

 

[bobbop]

I’ve been able to concentrate on the game a lot more tonight and one thing that is very evident to me is that the Islanders are a slow team. Yes Barzal can skate like the wind but too many of their players really labor up and down the ice. At this point of the season, that should be a big concern.

 

[NYRangers16]

Get me a Laf goal and someone burying Pageau in the 3rd and we can call it a night

I’ll take it!

 

[Kords]

Laff giving Kakko props and krieder laughing at him.

Dang, I missed that

 

[Cmox]

who can blame him they're almost twins

Definitely long legged baby twins. Only bc I’m old.

His future is very bright.He has all the tools to be a terrific top 4 defenseman,just needs that experience

 

[NYR]

All players are now getting back to defend the house.
What a concept..

 

[Fvital92]

Confunding Miller with anyone on the team is bizarre. The guy is freaking huge, makes Chytil look like a dwarf in comparison.

 

[May Rih]

I agree with that. Never said I didn’t lol

I said I was a Quinn fan until a couple nights ago, but believed he could still be a good NHL coach. Those were my exact words.

My bad, that wasn't specifically to you. That "you" was more general, as in anyone.

 

[will1066]

Still really tentative. He’ll get there.

He will. But he's already much steadier with the puck than last game

 

[Fvital92]

Worst player so far in this season is Strome. The guy has been invisible.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

he's WAY too hard on himself. It becomes abusive when you only magnify the negative.

Buch and Kreider were the same way for a LONG time. I feel like Buch had to ride the Quinn dog house and get grilled to play better without the puck which made him less hard on himself. Kreider still creeps into this mindset with how streaky he is.

Seriously, sports psychologists will be more and more of a thing with guys not working their way up the normal grind. It did wonders for Mackinnon who even after his breakout year had to consult with his sports Psych to avoid creeping back to his old self.

 

[Black Aces]

Michelle Gingras over Giannone is a great call

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Worst player so far in this season is Strome. The guy has been invisible.

Its been such a long season.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Absolute dummying of the Icelanders so far.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Worst player so far in this season is Strome. The guy has been invisible.

Came here to say the same thing. He looks terrible.

And Howden looks okay and is working hard but I just can’t get over him on the PP. He he maybe the worst skill of any forward on the roster. All he does is flub passes and lose the puck when stick handling. He’s a 3c at best, could be an elite 4th line and pk guy. But man he is really miscast by Quinn as a PP guy.

 

[bl02]

Worst player so far in this season is Strome. The guy has been invisible.

But you know merit should decide pp1 time blah blah blah

 

[duhmetreE]

can she not take her mask off for the interview... isnt everyone tested there?

Easy to see why Davidson was going ga-ga with Miller’s praise.
