Player Discussion Adam Fox

[Rangerfan4life90]

I just dont get how he isnt being discussed as a frontrunner for the Norris this year. Like he isnt mentioned in the top 3.

Its a travesty

Feels like because he already won one already.

I have no worries, though. If Fox continues playing like he is and knows he can, the voting will reflect that in the nominations.

If he fell because he wasn't going to sign with teams or finish college as people have speculated I wonder why the Rangers didn't draft him?

They didn't have any picks until #81.

damn wish the Rangers could draft stud gems like that

He's gonna need more points, unfortunately the forwards he sets up beautifully every game can't hit hit water if they fell out of a boat. He's gonna have to start scoring goals himself like he did last night

That won't stop Makar from being in the running or at least mentioned for the rest of his career. Makar is flashy and fast, looks way more impressive to people watching highlights.

 

[Levitate]

If he's within spitting distance points wise he has a shot, writers have been paying more attention to underlying stats lately and Fox is the best all around defenseman in the NHL this season.

If Karlsson keeps up the insane point totals though then that'll probably beat Fox out. Dahlin might also edge him out with more points and better than Karlsson defense.

will be interesting to see how it goes.

Makar is the super-hot girl who you date for a few months and have a great time with. Fox is the less attractive girl who you have deep conversations and connect with for life -- and still have a great time with.

Scholars of the sport, after watching Fox cerebral opponents with fifth-dimensional calculus, say he's way more impressive.

Having dated both, this is absolutely spot on.

Dude is a legend. And please, a non 'smoke show' with a giant brain, great ideas and who you have a great time with? AWL DAY PLEASE.

Are you saying that Makar is a smoke show whereas Fox is a laser beam?

I think he's saying Fox is Foxy....in the brains

 

[Machinehead]

Great players have great performances. The true elite players win games by themselves.

Fox pulled this team across the finish line last night.

Don't get me wrong, I thought we played well, but it was just one of those nights. Fox just refused. He told the puck luck monster to f*** off and made a game between 38 pro players all about him.

Not many in the league can do that.

 

[LokiDog]

Foxy is probably the only reason I’m still watching this team right now.

I know that sounds dramatic, our record isn’t bad and we’ve been playing decent hockey.

I just find the team so f***ing boring, predictable and flavorless. Panarin is like the awesome cheese fries you had the night before and brought home but then someone microwaved them and now they’re soggy and disappointing. There’s no flash on offense, no power forward bully, no sizzling sniper, no big hitter. Shesterkin makes some great saves but is also more human. The allure of “maybe this will
be the game when one of the kids finally goes off” has long since faded.

There’s just the Fox show. Guest appearances from Miller are sweet too.

This 100%

Would you give Fox the “C”? Or will it nerf him as it’s done to Trouba??

I’d give him an A and not risk the “burden” of the C on a guy who is leading the team one way or the other.

I’d strip Zib, K and Trouba in a heart beat. Fox with an A, Miller with an A, Lindgren with an A. No C because this team clearly doesn’t have one.

 

[Irishguy42]

You give him the 'C' because it stands for 'Chin' and not 'Captain'

Seeing that Fox goal in person, I had to immediately go to the bathroom to clean up.

You can criticize Trouba for not playing at his best, but since his helmet throw/interview, they have been much better. Isn't that what captains do? Rally the team to be better?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Was the tying goal really not Fox's? It looked like it went off the skate of a Wild player, I didn't even see Chytil touch it.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If he were in shape he'd be ahead of McDavid in the scoring race.

I can't imagine him skating like McDavid

I can't imagine him skating like McDavid

What he lacks in speed he'd make up for with his Vo2 Max

Sounds like a specimen... must be watching @EdJovanovski YouTube skill videos.

Fox might be the only one who can't be fazed by the C. He has a beautiful brain. Besides, the C would stand for chin to him.
