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

[Fitzy]

Carrick is only marginally better than Kevin Rooney, he doesn’t need to be an every game forward here just because he plays center.

 

[Harbour Dog]

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

Miller - Fox
Jones - Trouba
Lindgren - Schneider

Shesterkin
Quick

Ed, are you feeling okay? This looks... reasonable.

 

[egelband]

I think they’ll give Jimmy a few games to start but I don’t see him sticking

13F. Perfect spot tbh. He can fill in anywhere if needed.

 

[will1066]

I don't know if othmann was consciously or subconscious toning down the aggressiveness, agitation, what have you, tonight, but he needs to be his dick self to succeed

 

[Machinehead]

Kreider looked so mad that he scored lol

He was only happy when he got the assist

 

[Roo Returns]

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

Laviolette says “watch me”

 

[ecemleafs]

went to the gym down 3-0. did not expect a 6-4 win when i got home lol.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

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

I don’t get how he didn’t request a trade years ago after they opted to essentially ice 5D in playoff games over using Jones. Or after they used Harpur over him for half a season. Or Trouba missing an ankle chunk

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Didn't see the game but caught a few of the highlights.

Jones 2nd goal was a ripper.

Lindgren got f***ing smoked. Props for taking on a much bigger guy but let Rempe or Harpur handle that one.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Lindgren is much too small to play the physical game long term. We need to move on from him after the season.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Kreider looked so mad that he scored lol

He was only happy when he got the assist

I mean he was probably like "why can all I do is score in front of the net? I suck". At least that's what Facebook told me.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Missed the game and then looked at the highlights. I've never seen a team win in regulation down 2 goals with just over 2 minutes to go. Even in preseason. Crazy!

Those bottom lines im really into seeing.

I get this is the time to experiment
BUT
Leshitshow betw Ed + Rem
is a waste

I keep watching if Berard can prove he can = another Marty St. Lous, b'c at 5'9 that is what it would take.
Instead of disciplined production, we get disappointment

Oth has a future [at this pt] but also = fail w/stupid play


And wtf not playing KK???????????
Cuylle - Chytil - KK needs to be a thing

 

[Guyute]

Trouba was absolutely atrocious tonight much like the Florida series. I counted three turnovers in quick succession in the d-zone in one shift. He better play well to start the season otherwise the boo birds will get to him.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Were either of the injuries bad? Hope we keep the big line intact.

 

[2014nyr]

Carrick is only marginally better than Kevin Rooney, he doesn’t need to be an every game forward here just because he plays center.

that depends on whether or not you have legitimate alternatives. obviously he's not exactly irreplaceable....but you need someone who can be reliable defensively and at least competent at the dot. it's certainly possible there's players capable of meeting that pretty low bar...but i'm not sure the prospective depth chart offers realistic alternatives, and unless he's a catastrophe, i'm not sure how open to exploring those they'll be.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Harpur is big....that is it...nothing else

In other words, perfect for NYR

 

[eco's bones]

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

The guy who kept Jones from being a regular in our lineup last year was Erik Gustafsson and without looking I'd guess he got more power play time than Trouba did. Erik has been something of a point producer and second option power play with two or three teams in his NHL career.

 

[Guyute]

Also I had no idea Panarin got hurt. I thought Lavy sent him to the showers after Panarin’s turnover and pinch/lack of hustle on the back check led to the Isles first goal.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

He's too classy to, but it would be hilarious if Sam held nothing back in his last season. Ripping refs, players, etc.

and management

I think we have several very good 3rd and 4th line options or more than maybe we can fit and too many means someone gets traded or goes to Hartford. No reason to disparage any of them though. If we look at Bonino and Pitlick from last year they're all much better than those two.

Edstrom and Rempe are both very good. Between someone like Carrick that would be about as nasty a line as we could put together and Carrick would probably take some of the pressure off of Rempe because he'll go with anybody. Brodzinki's a heads up player and a for real pro who you can spot in and out of the lineup or if he's down in the AHL he'll be the Pack's leader playing in all situations. Vesey is another real pro and a very good checking line player. I think one of them is going to get cut unless we go with 14 forwards or someone gets injured. My guess is the odd man out would be Brodzinski. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a trade right before camp breaks.
