The Islanders defense is a bit underrated. Pelech is one of the better unheralded shutdown guys in the league who can anchor a top pair, like a Lindell or Pesce. Pulock is a solid two way guy to compliment that pair. Leddy is a good veteran. Mayfield is a solid defensive dman who plays tough. Greene may be on his last legs but he’s a damn sight better than Johnson. Dobson is a good young defender with nice upside. Varlamov is also underrated.

Not saying it’s all world, but they have good defense and good center depth with Barzal, Nelson, Pageau, Cizikas. I hate them as much as anyone but they’re a well coached team with decent talent and personnel that fit their system.

The Rangers roster has more TALENT, but on paper we have more holes, more questions marks, more rookies in key roles.

That's fair, they have the feeling of the 2011-12 Rangers who were much better than the sum of their parts because they had a good coach that had them play suffocating boring defense. They have a better #1 center but a worse goalie.
 
Are you f***ing serious?
Like i said in another thread..
The players decided to win the track meet so they don't have to bag skate.
They won't be able to keep up this pace.
DQ GTFO!
 
If the lack of preparation on Thursday is all on Quinn, then he should also get a ton of credit for the response/changes he made today.
i'll give him that. I was fairly rough on him after thursday, and this game the players seemed to click and everything worked well. He gets alot of credit for getting the team to respond.

This is what a professional coach does. Makes the opponent think they can coast to victory in game #2 after allowing them to dominate in game #1 and then out of nowhere surprises them with an actual hockey team in the second meeting

So you're saying this was all by design?
I'm going to sleep Lolll
 
Chytil and Kakko have looked like shit. Fox just seems like a good player inspite of Quinn. Buchnevich played with Mika. Lindgren a good not great player. TDA, sure I'll give you.
What in the name of anything does “good but not great” mean? Are those players not allowed to develop?

kakko? Ok an 18 year old supposed to dominate?
 
Not allowed to criticize Quinn based on 1 game but we should praise him after 1.

Why not?
I've been criticizing him since he got here.
Some people know hockey.. Others just play video games.
Too each his own.
People think I'm a troll bc I speak the truth but as per usual.. I'm usually always right in the end so you do you and don't worry about what others think ;)
