Pre-Game Talk: Preseason Game 1 Islanders vs Rangers 7PM

[will1066]

Is this game on MSG or ESPN?
How do I watch?
When I check my NHL Center Ice schedule it just shows this:


Normally it shows who's playing which games at which time, so are none of the games on Center Ice?

Center Ice is a confusing dead zone with this new TV deal. How about NHL.TV since you're in Canada?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Dude, I bet you're staying up for this game, right?

f*** yeah! Now that I live in Dublin, the games start early!

Midnight instead of 1 AM.

My baby came out at 30 weeks hes in the NICU for a month already, wish you the best man it’s hard but a beautiful thing

My niece was early too and was there just as long. She’s in 1st grade and healthy as a horse now. She a lil mighty mite. She’s very athletic though. Loves figure skating and climbs all over the place. It was a very stressful time for my sister in the beginning but it gets easier. It’ll be a distant memory when you see your son playing hockey . Good luck and many blessings.

Didn’t see the lines posted, anyway here they are:


Would be surprised though if Henriksson didn’t center the 4th.

I’m really looking forward to watching Cuylle. Coolio.

Whoever said the tough memories pass is correct. My twin daughters were premature and spent time in the NICU. Lots of handwashing and cheering tiny victories like them drinking an ounces or more from a bottle.

That was 25 years ago. Both graduated from college and have their own careers. One of them has a 6 month old of her own. Only good memories. Good luck to you.

Nemeth isn't here to be amazing, he's here to kill penalties and be okay in the defensive zone.

Think what Steve Eminger was for us back in the day.

Lundkvist and Kravstov haven't won their spots yet, those are up in the air IMO, and so we should be watching that extra close, along with Jones, Schneider, Barron, and Gauthier.

You can bank on both those guys making the roster unless they just bomb. There is no competition for roster spots imo, it's already set.

I strongly believe that, in particular, the 3RD spot is actually an open competition. Nils is the de facto choice but I think Jones or Schneider could steal it if they outplay him the next few games.

 

[haveandare]

Do we know who the Isles are playing?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I like that Nils is in there tonight.

It won't be the Isles A lineup but it'll be good to see how he handles going against a heavy forecheck team.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Nemeth is just a safety net in case none of the LHD prospects make it straight out of camp. Fitzy referring to him as Steve Eminger is spot on. That's what we should expect. And if Schneider, Jones, Reunanen or Robertson outplays him, so be it.

It was a 3 year deal was it not? Eminger is basically what i saw but i was confused about the length of the deal so i thought i must have saw him on off days. If thats all he is why sign him really, could we have not grabbed someone on a 1 year deal or just went with Jones or Robertson? Nemeth is likely to get replaced within a year imo.

Yes, he signed for 3 years. Teams always need bottom pair D-men so there will be a market for him when they move on from him, though.

I have no problem with them having the roster set and i applaud that guys will start in the minors, i found this team since we put Kreider in during playoffs has just really fast tracked all their prospects too much. We just end up teaching on the fly and burning years of rfa.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I’ll be at the game tonight.

Fully expect to be reminded 60 seconds into the game why I was celebrating when last season ended. The boys wouldn’t have it any other way.

I definitely expect a big game from the Hunt Barron Goat line. They are on the outside looking in and all 3 of them need a big preseason to make things interesting

Well....if they want Gallant to take notice of them then they should know what they need to do and it might be out of character for Gauthier....but that is what will keep him around it's that simple . He needs to enter the corners in a foul mood and knock people around with his ungodly strength and if he is challenged....he will need to drop them and throw them. Skating hard up and down looking pretty will not get him a roster spot . I actually can see Barron fighting in this game ....he will want to make himself noticed as will Cuyle . I think we are in for a fun game and Gallant also knows Ross the Boss as Ross played with Gallant's hometown Jr club and Dobson is from the same hometown...if he is playing . Enjoy the game people !!!

Even though it's preseason, I'm still fully expecting a Trotz classic.

3-0 with the shots being 18-12.

But how many Trotz eyebrow dances are caught on camera? That's the real question.

I'd love to see him in front of the net on the PP..

I'm expecting a win tonight for sure!

 

[Lays]

I want to see Rempe get a shot there too. Decent hands for his 6’8 size

Mine is showing up for 8PM Atlantic Time /PEI channel 433...on Bell...I have not had the HD dish up and running so it is still in SD for me . Watching Bruins and Caps now....I have NHL CI .

 

[duhmetreE]

I take it there's no pre-game? or it's not getting streamed for out of staters
