GDT: Preseason game 2 Bruins vs Rangers 7 PM MSG

[Harbour Dog]

Pajuniemi's plus skill has not been exaggerated. His shot looks to be maybe even better than Pirri's, and his all around game also has the potential to be better.

 

[JimmyG89]

Getting to see that rocket shot for Paju instead of the clips we get was fantastic. We all knew he could bring it, but that is 100% an NHL shot and it will likely get him a spot on a team at some point, either the Rangers or another squad.

Just because I'm smarter than you doesn't mean I'm anywhere near the smartest poster here.

I could not care any less if you are or aren't, that's one of many things that separates me from you.

But one unequivocal rule of thumb, if you have to say it it's usually not true.

 

[bl02]

Yeah if jones keeps playing like this I don’t see how he doesn’t stay up.
Also a damn shame Pajuniemi can’t find his way on the team. What a rocket he has and accurate

 

[CasusBelli]

Where the unsportsmanlike?

 

[MysticLeviathan]

has strome won a single faceoff?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Jones even showing some fire man. Panarin may have got 3pts but Jones is 1st star AINEC.

 

[RGY]

Paju reminds me of Olofsson in Buffalo. He may not have the all around game but boy oh boy does he have some offensive instincts and he can unload a shot. That counts for something. He skates well, handles the puck well. He can be great depth in case of injury.

I think Jones has looked very smooth for the most part. Just a calming presence when he has the puck. A similar feel as to when Fox has the puck in the offensive zone. Obviously not as gifted but you get the point.

Kakko looks great. Panarin looks great.

There was talk of Miller winning the Calder early last season. Seems way too early to try to rank these guys.

It's amazing how many people forget every year that there are usually a handful of guys who look great each preseason and then go on to barely get by in the AHL. The preseason has value for sure, bit you're playing with A-level and D-level players, against the same, and it's the first organized games you've played in months.

Watching Jones and Schneider...there's literally zero chance in hell Hajek makes the team right??? right???

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Lol, what Ranger just randomly grabbed Blidh with his bare hands and threw him around?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Time for Reaves to throw that kid into Fallons lap

 

[JimmyG89]

Reminds me of Brian Rolston

I get Viktor Olafsson vibes from him. If he puts it together, this is the type of player he can become

Hajek will be an injury call-up at best.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Reeves just old man strength'd someone into the boards, lol.

Could have sworn you went after me first.

You can look it up.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Blais does hits.

 

[Cmox]

has strome won a single faceoff?

Since he’s signed here? No

 

[CasusBelli]

Blais reminds me of Cally. Finish. Every. Hit.

Edit: except 3 inches taller.

Don't you get tired of fighting with everyone here?

 

[rangers1314]

Does a pairing of Jones-Nils get a look before this PS is over?

 

[Mandar]

Blais and Hunt on the same line could be fun

Schneider and Lindgren are so similar to Girardi and some of the other defensemen we had in the early 2010’s. They would fit in perfectly with some of those Ranger teams

I see the ghost of young Girardi in Schneider

That’s Schneider’s street name. Yung G.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Awful shift by Richards, here. Directly to blame for two failed zone exits.
