GDT: Game #49 - Sabres @ The Powerhouse - 6PM - MSG

[Machinehead]

Lafreniere incensed about that shove

 

[chosen]

When we drafted him, he was fairly new to the defense position, and it was fully expected that he wouldn't turn pro until this season, and then he would probably need a full season in the AHL.

He's already in the NHL! Like 2+ years ahead of schedule. I don't see any reason to think that his steep development trajectory is suddenly going to stop. He is going to come into next season greatly improved.

Again.

My quarrel isn't with what he might become. It's with what he is.

Let's go Kaapo get the hatty. Nice walking the line by Jones.

The future is here

Replacing Miller with Jones on the PP was a Quinnovation

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Please please please give me Kakko, Lafreniere, and Jones points on that play.

best i can do is Jones - Buch - Kakko

 

[Blais to Win]

Jones looking great.

 

[Cmox]

Laff was on pp1 and 2. I’m game with that

 

[aufheben]

This is great

Let the good times roll.

 

[SRHRangers]

Kakko with a snipe and a junk goal.

 

[ThirdEye]

Have to admit, I didn't think Jones would acclimate THIS seamlessly

 

[RickChartraw]

future is so bright, gotta wear shades.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Again.

My quarrel isn't with what he might become. It's with what he is.

Oh, I thought you said something about Jones being better than him always. Maybe I mixed up posters, sorry!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Jones looking great.

Nils who? We found our PP2 QB!

 

[Rempe73]

best i can do is Jones - Buch - Kakko

Good enough

 

[bl02]

Laff was one pp1 and 2. I’m game with that

[Tob]

another bad giveaway by Miller.

 

[Machinehead]

Forecheck City

 

[Cmox]

krieder killed him

 

[Rempe73]

So only 2 Rangers scored tonight?

 

[bl02]

confidence confidence confidence

 

[smoneil]

That's not true.

There were lots of stories before the season that Miller might make it out of the gate because of his performance in the bubble, the season before.

Same question. How long does it remain part of the discussion?

All of that was chatter over the span of a couple months. Before that, everyone assumed he'd be in the AHL for at least a year, and even when camp broke, we were all prepared to be pissed off if Johnson kept him from getting a shot.

As to your question--when Miller stops showing regular growth in his game from year to year, it can start to be removed from the discussion. He keeps growing as a defenseman. When that stops, we'll have a sense of who he will be long term as a player.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Now Kreider has to call some dude's parents and tell them he murdered their son. Hard times.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Nils who? We found our PP2 QB!

Nils has one time bomb. He will eventually add another dimension.
