Player Discussion Adam Fox

[Levitate]

I feel like he's been trying to do absolutely everything when he's on the ice and while he can make that work sometimes, it also means sometimes he makes mistakes and people notice those more. If he sat back a bit and picked his spots he'd probably look more "solid" but might not be in the position to pick up as many points at times.

Like, he kinda got roasted on that 1st goal last night trying to hold the blueline, but if he makes that play (and we've seen him do it over and over so many times we barely notice it any longer) then it's a great play.

He's just trying to make things happen all the time and most of the time succeeds but by nature of the game sometimes he'll get caught out and we'll say it's bad defense or whatever it is

There's an old Simpsons bit where Nelson Muntz is playing QB in football and realises that all his teammates are useless. After pleading with them to go long he eventually just mutters " aw hell, I'll do it myself" and throws it to himself to score a solo TD.

At least once per game I feel you can see Fox think the exact same thing and realise it's up to him to make all the plays happen

it’s partly because the league didn’t witness his greatness during Covid. Only the same teams of the division

He also wasn’t himself last year

Kakko is about to realize this too.

 

[rangersfansince08]

Do you guys think he will score 20 goals this year?

 

[rangersfansince08]

f*** it, I'm greedy, I want goal scoring to be one of his strengths

 

[TriFF51]

Think I had been rocking the Kreider avatar for like 5 years now...it's finally time for a change. Fox is just too damn good. Fox or Kakko jersey will be next.

I thought for a second: Long Island, sure. But how about if he grew up even closer?! Like, around the Port Authority. Then I thought Long Island is good.

Ah yes. Where can Mole People get ice time?

 

[rangersfansince08]

His only weakness is that his name is too short to be searched on hfboards

 

[FultonReed]

on the garden ice after everyone leaves, of course

All of this is true. Even the all-time greats get dusted from time to time.

We are lucky to be able to watch his greatness game after game.I smell another Norris or 2 in his near future

He needs to keep up the goal scoring which seems unlikely

 

[Rongomania]

Dude leaves me with no words for him. A really unreal talent. I can't wait for the playoffs man, he was our best player with Shesty.

He's pacing for 20+ goals. He had 11 last year. I think he's starting to shoot more. 2 goals in the last 3 games. I remember a play where he had Panarin all alone to his right at Ingram's doorstep and he took the shot when that would've been a nice dish to Panarin for a tap in.

Do stats show that he is getting more shots on net? Just looks like shooting percentage is high
