GDT: Preseason: New York Rangers @ New York Islanders , 7pm ET

[effen]

Kakko should not be allowed within 100 feet of a power play. What the f*** was that.

Fox has the worst physical skillset of an elite player in 30 years. Someone get him some testosterone and EPO stat.

Miller *needs* to be traded. You can get a lot for him and you can't fix that mental. Letting Anthony Duclair own the net front while he ineffectually orbits him was some pathetic, pathetic stuff.

Careful. He'll spit on you.

Watching Kakko not knowing how to position himself on the power play was comical. Just stay in front of the net for garbage goals, because that's all you've got, kid.

The literal second he hits 30 years old the board will turn on him for being the ham n' egger that he is. Till then it's all David Quinn's fault.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Rempe with the team high in both shots & hits

 

[turcotte8]

Hawk tuah his new nickname?

Reilly Smith looks an awful lot like Lee Stempniak, if anyone remembers that vanilla ice cream cone of a hockey player.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Right, much bigger role available on Isles, he can earn a nice contract afterwards

He signed for 4 years

 

[Machinehead]

I am unemotional

The Mika effect. Expecting Reilly to be composing Haikus in his stall in-between periods

Buyouts

Buyouts are not an option when it will cripple the team capwise....and they're already in trouble in that area.

 

[UnSandvich]

Funnily enough the Cuylle-Chytil-Kakko line was the only one above break-even at 5v5. The Zibanejad line on the other hand, rocked that damn solid 6.09% xGF%.

 

[Leonardo87]

Unless you are a rebuilding team, wouldn’t put much thought into preseason.

the team sure didn't heyoo

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

I haven't noticed Smith once all preseason, I don't even know if this was his 2nd game or how many games he's played in lol

Can’t wait for Drury to address the RW situation for the 18th trade deadline in a row when Smith and Kakko inevitably fizzle out and don’t produce.

 

[CasusBelli]

Stopped watching when it became 2-1. After scoring two lucky ones and then letting in a legitimate one, I had a bad feeling, but this is an ugly score. Did we play as poorly as the score suggests?

Worse.

 

[mrmovies779]

It's preseason.some of you guys can back away from the ledge...just some...the rest may step forward

 

[Cmox]

Maybe they were resting up for the playoffs?

 

[EdJovanovski]

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

The Mika effect. Expecting Reilly to be composing Haikus in his stall in-between periods

Mika, new line mate,

Told me, “I control your fate.”

Please, no Kakko hate.

 

[17futurecap]

Othmann doesn't seem close, hopefully he has a good few months in Hartford, shrugs.

 

[Claxton]

All things considered, Chris Drury is as lazy as a GM as he was when he played hockey here with that 'C' on his chest. Boring and ineffectual. The team will have another strong season, another shitty deadline that does nothing to move the needle, and a mid to late round exit.

Maybe the Rangers hope Perreault pulls a Kreider and joins the team in playoffs
