Post-Game Talk: Preseason Game 2: 9/24 - New York Islanders @ New York Rangers - 7pm ET , MSG

[noncents]

i'm telling y'all, edstrom is not making the team. there's no way 2 rookies are playing on the 4th line, and kakko isn't sitting.

vesey carrick rempe is your 4th line

 

[mrmovies779]

Edstrom had to make the club.Hes such a solid all around player

 

[Kords]

Shame Jones isn’t Calder eligible. Would be a cool three way race between him Rempe and Edstrom.

 

[Roo Returns]

As much as they were obsessing over Rempe, Edstrom came to work and should start the season on the big club.

Hope everyone is healthy, luckily this team has depth. If Lindgren is out a few weeks, Mancini has a chance to force their hand and someone can move to the offside (or maybe he can).

Veterans looked like veterans. Berard and Othmann showed flashes (more Berard) but both need more seasoning (and can definitely have a cup of coffee if needed).

Harpur and Ruewedhel looked like traffic cones.

f*** vesey. Guy sucked the second half of last season and was awful in the playoffs. We need size not him.

I've been hoping for Edstrom Carrick and Rempe, not worried about Vesey's feelings lol

The 4th line is the ONLY line you’d have a chance to see two rookies on one line. Hahaha. It will happen. Not everyday, but Vesey , Rempe and Edstrom will rotate in and out of the lineup. I’d say by the New Year Jimmy sits more than the other two.
If I’m wrong feel free to remind me of this.

 

[Crease]

If merit is a thing Mancini and Edstrom make the team so far.

 

[Mugless]

13 forwards. Edstrom makes the team, Brodz to Hartford.

 

[DialUp]

How did the team look tonight? I missed the entire thing.

 

[mrmovies779]

Jones also needs to be on defense starting off the season.Screw his rotating shit,let him run with it

 

[Kords]

Like the Rangers. Not being snarky, it was a very typical Rangers game.

 

[Cmox]

Like the Rangers. Not being snarky, it was a very typical Rangers game.

It seriously had almost every Ranger thing you can think of.

 

[eco's bones]

Not two points but the result has to have annoyed all of Islanders nation.

Lucked out on the Chytil hit I think. Filip keeps getting clobbered with hits he doesn't see coming. He didn't see Rodrigues. He didn't see Fast and he didn't see this one either. I don't know if some of this is just bad luck but........

Next to Lindgren---he's a shit fighter and he was well overmatched against Mayfield who is a lot bigger and a decent fighter. I like the compete and the anger he plays with but I don't think he's going to have a very long career. Maybe 5 more years. Maybe not even that.

So the better stuff. I think if Edstrom keeps his play up he's making the team and he's not like some green rookie. 4 years in the SHL where he was groomed as a checking line forward. He has size, speed and very good fundamentals. That's all you need to be an NHL player. Rempe's making the team but Edstrom is a better all around player. We can move Brodzinski or Vesey if we need to.

Jones with a big two goal night too. Nice set ups for both goals on good plays by Edstrom for the first and Trouba for the second.

Over in Islanders land some have probably ground their teeth so hard after this one they'll need to call the dentist in the morning.

 

[bl02]

And we still probably won't see Jones getting serious pp2 time this year. You know cause Trouba has a bomb from the point lol

 

[gabevh3]

Great comeback. Worth staying up til 4am!

LGR!

Worth not even sleeping 4 hours for

This is nonsense

 

[CTTribe73]

That was the funniest thing I've seen in pro sports in like ten years.

Screw the fishsticks.

Its weird. When he was in the lineup last year nobody seemed to care that he wasn’t on PP2 despite there being zero other remotely decent options. To me his point presence is so aggressively good it’s impossible to not see

 

[Harbour Dog]

Edstrom should have been given more of a leash in the NHL last year, and he looks better now. The only justification for not starting the season with him on the roster is that having vets is more important than winning hockey games.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

They're clearly trying to bring the guy into the lineup sloooowly but if it was me I would have already whined my way to the Buffalo Sabres

 

[EdJovanovski]

Panarin - Trocheck - Lafreniere
Kreider - Zibanejad - Smith
Cuylle - Chytil - Kakko
Edstrom - Carrick - Rempe

Miller - Fox
Jones - Trouba
Lindgren - Schneider

Shesterkin
Quick

Been calling it since he got in the lineup (which unfortunately hasn't been often enough) that he should qb the 2nd pp unit.

They waited as long as they could for you to show up. Then they went out to win the game

 

[egelband]

Esa Tikkanen’s son is bad

Like, Michael Jackson Bad? Or drinking from ashtray beer bottle bad?
