If Kakko had Laf’s finish and Laf had Kakko’s physicality and Chytil had both…

It's true. Once you have a gf, other girls find you more attractive.
True, my wife finds me more attractive when I have a girlfriend.

By girlfriend, I mean any other girl who will talk to me.

And, she really doesn't find me more attractive, she kind of likes to see me try to talk to other girls.

And by talk, I mean struggle, as in stumble my words and look like an ass.

She laughs and laughs, yet one of these days.... I will do nothing, and she will continue to rule my life without my knowledge.

The stream I'm currently watching doesn't cut to commercial & shows the MSG crew thinking they are off air. Laffy sitting waiting to be interviewed by Michelle was pretty amusing, he just sat there silent, but his body language was screaming, "just let me get back to the locker room!"

When your D corps only has 2 players who can make a clean outlet pass, it really hampers 5v5 possession and offense. Zib/Kreids are 1-2 machine who haven't shown they can play with anyone else on their wing this preseason so far. Who will complement them is a question that remains unsolved. As does the chemistry of the second line. We just don't know and I don't think the Rangers know.

The kid line clearly works. Their combo of speed, size and skill makes them really hard to cope with. If they were on the ice with Fox/Lindgren for those two shifts where they dominated zone time we might have gotten one, but when the puck goes back to Hajek, Wellinski, Scanlin or Bartkowski it doesn't matter that they have 20 ft of open space. Put that kid line out there with any of our top 4 and there will be goals at 5v5.

I get that players can take leaps in development in their mid 20s. And Hajek may very well take a leap, but his possession game is really poor. He's got size, decent wheels, not a terrible defender or positional player but boy once the puck is on his stick the game has to slow down for him to start a breakout. He's a possession blackhole. As are all the other D not named Lindgren and Fox tonight.

Othmann has to work on the little aspects of the game. His warts as a very young player are going to keep him out of pro hockey for another season. It stinks that he can't go to the A where he can actually work those things out of his game.

In the preseason, guys with tons of size and speed but not much else manage to look like gamebreakers. But once the preseason is over, so is a good chunk of their offense.

It's the feeling of potential competition, the need to exert alpha female dominance.
 
Just left MSG after the 2nd. The top guys looked solid. If they werent playing with 4 AHL defenseman theyd have a few more goals.

random observation, Edstrom is a very noticeable player. Good size and he can skate. Keep an eye on him the next few years. Is he going to play in Hartford this year?
