Miller went blond

is he trying to make a fashion statement?

is he trying to make a fashion statement?

I think so

 

[Cmox]

is he trying to make a fashion statement?

Yeah, some Giants look.

 

[mas0764]

Damn kakko is a monster with his passing and vision tonight. Very impressed

It continues to feel like a matter of time until this guy becomes a quality top 6 player who can drive offense. But when?

 

[Mike in Houston]

Preseason doubleheader? Not seen this effort since Versus

TNT did it last year too. Rangers game as well.

 

[will1066]

Wow that's Kevin Dineen behind the bench

Kakko ENG please

 

[JRinNYC]

WTF

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Send Rempe down.

 

[RangersFan1994]

I thought Garand would be better than this

 

[Profet]

So how do you pronounce "Garand?"

This broadcast has been saying "Gairand"

In my head I've been saying it more French...

"Garr-ond"

I've been saying it Guh-rand in my head

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

whack

 

[Rempe73]

The Vegas - Colorado game looks 10x more interesting than that snoozefest already. And I rarely watch hockey when the NYR aren’t playing (except for the playoffs).

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

how many more of these scrimmages until the real shit starts?

 

[Machinehead]

The A looks good on Vinny

 

[Mike in Houston]

how many more of these scrimmages until the real shit starts?

One.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Hey guys unsure about your depth chart but any chance Othmann sticks in NYR this season??! Or will it be AHL again

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I have no idea how you look at Edstrom and don’t keep him on the roster going forward.

He absolutely belongs in the AHL, he’s not ready. Maybe he gets a shot later in the season but right now he’s out of his depth

looked good. Drawing defenders and making passes out of it

 

[CTTribe73]

What do we have with Bread?

 

[Drew4u]

Yeah man Edstrom and his 16 points last year is totally better than Othmann scoring another 2 points today.

Quit with your b.s. Othmann is a future top six player and deserves to play on the third line next year instead of Kakko.

This is his second multi point game in 3 games. It's obvious his offense is already better than Kakko.

 

[17futurecap]

Respect to Bread quiet quitting the preseason.

 

[eco's bones]

Edstrom looks bigger, stronger and he's putting up unexpected offense but he looks like he knows what he's doing. The lineups we're facing aren't the greatest though. That said he seems to understand that getting his big body to the net can get him goals and points.

Mancini so far it's kind of the same deal. He had two/three goals total for his three years at Nebraska Omaha and 0 with Hartford after turning pro last year but he's scored in the rookie tournament against the Flyers and twice more in preseason and he's hit iron at least once and it looks like he can contribute some offense.

To me these are the two outstanding rookies in preseason games for us.

Rempe technically still a rookie but we have a good idea what he can do. He had a nice game tonight I thought. His skating has definitely improved though there's still some awkwardness...not nearly as much though.

Othmann's had some good moments. The first game against the Devils though he was awful the first two periods. He's played all 5 games so far. Berard has only played 3 but from what I've seen I like him a bit better right now.

 

[wolfgaze]

So how do you pronounce "Garand?"

According to this guy it's pronounced:

"G.A. - RAND"

I'm gonna go with that.

Well said, I pretty much agree 100%.

Mancini doesn't quite look the top-4 part to me yet, but it looks like there's a player there--one who's probably good enough to start the year with the team and who's still got plenty of muscle and reps to add to a solid toolkit.

Think that any/all of them could start in the AHL and it wouldn't be a bad thing, but Edstrom and Mancini look ready for more. Only thing with Mancini is I don't love the idea of a pairing with he and Jones right away.
