I'm not worried
And on the bright side, holy crap Zibanejad is playing like he's possessed

Yeah really happy with Mika, but his efforts are going to waste sadly. Hope that changes soon. Lol.

It was just short of "now where did I put my keys...anyone seen my wife..."

"Where are my glasses... Oh they are on my head"

 

[member 116805]

You came up with a couple saves Henrik.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Maloney in the locker room, so awkward..haha

He has been on the other end. He knows the last thing guys want to do right now is explain why they sucked on TV.

All I'm going to say people:

Relax, this team has the pieces they clearly just need to get up to speed and build their chemistry. Once the players are used to each other, things will be better. Remember, this team had a ton of turnover. The personnel on defense is better now, but they need to get used to playing with each other.

Hank will be fine. He actually looked better to me in his movements and tracking, despite the goals. Last season he often looked a step behind and like he was fighting it, I've thought in both games his mechanics and tracking looked good he just looks rusty to me, as opposed to last season when he looked overmatched at times. Just my opinion. He will be fine.

The defense will improve, Hank will improve. AV needs to play Chytil or send him back to Czech. Unfortunately, that probably means Desjardins is getting signed, yuck. Also, Holden is probably in tomorrow night for DeAngelo. I haven't hated Staal in either game so far, he actually looks better than last season.


Most importantly: it's two games. I would say the same thing if we won both games 10-0. It's two games.

Plus, remember the last season we got off to a poor start, including getting shelled in Anaheim and San Jose back to back and Hertl sending Biron out to pasture? That was 2013-14, the year we made the SCF. That team looked mediocre until the end of December when things started to click and chemistry was developed. This team just needs to click.

Great post

I want to know who thought it was a good idea to call for a minor penalty if you make an unsuccessful challenge?

 

[Machinehead]

First ten games of the Yankees season, Aaron Judge was basically on a tryout.

Six months later, he was arguably the best player in baseball.

Goes to show you how long seasons are.

This coach would have sat him then sent him down to the Tuscaloosa Pee Wee league

The offside challenge is embarrassing. Grow up NHL.

Hank with the call out. Good for him. Maybe they’ll shape up for tomorrow

 

[NYR]

Why can't I see tweets on mobile?

 

[Machinehead]

Trout.

Trout is, but probably wasn't in 2017.

Sort of like Crosby (before McDavid). He was the best player in hockey but not literally the best every single year.

You're probably right.

Some of AV's personnel decisions over the years have been akin to batting Tyler Wade clean-up.

Folks that when they were just implementing a new system. Here, there is an obvious lack of depth down the middle. You won't win that way. But I guess the only hope is that they looked good in the 2d but shot their wad there.

Sucks that the Jets are the best of my teams right now.

Seriously.....you might as well send the kid back to the Czech league if he’s gonna get 5 minutes a night. What pisses me off is he sits Chytil for any reason but doesn’t do anything to Hayes after taking a stupid penalty which led to the 7th goal and essentially ended the game.

Trout was but just didnt get enough ABs

He was never even given a chance. AV is a factory of sadness.

"As a goalie, it's definitely easier when you have structure in front"

As a forward, it’s always easier when you have Cheddar behind you rather than Swiss.

At this rate, Chytil will have more at bats for the Yankees in 2018 than ice time for the Rangers.

I wanna I like this post twice but they won't let me so I'm saying it.

LOL, Just read that. You can have my like, was worth it. Lol. Still feel bad for Hank but he needs to get it together, i mean the D being better can certainly help.
