Howie isn't much younger than Sam, sadly, so I think that ship has sailed. I've always said Howie is one of the best in the business, and when the Islanders had Howie and Billy Jaffe it was one of the best duos around.
I don't love Joe all the time but he definitely has a good eye for the flow of the game, he has grown on me.

I find Joe a lot better "between the benches" on NBC broadcasts than as the color guy on MSG broadcasts.
I think that role suits him more.

Yeah, Kenny is the likely Sam replacement, though I'd love Howie to come out of hockey retirement and take Sam's spot when he retires. The funny thing is, when you hear Sam doing the playoffs on the radio, he is so much better than on TV.

Gary Thorne is only a year younger than Sam and even though we're all nostalgic about him on ESPN, even when he was the lead PbP guy Thorne made so many errors and got so many names wrong. Sam is better at pronouncing names (both Rangers and opponents) and identifying the correct players at 70 than Thorne was when he was hockey's lead PbP guy in his prime.

Its only pre-season but I was glued to the TV for the first game.
I thought the whole right side of the defense played ok last night. Graves to me looks like he's ready. Someone compared him to him to McIlrath. I don't see that in him. He looks far more mobile that McIlrath did, and he did so without the glaring mistakes big Mac would seem to make at inopportune times.
Pionk goal was pretty. He was noticeable last night.
I expected DeAngelos' skating to be a little better. He's fast, but not as fluent as advertised. I like him, but need to see more.
On the Forwards, Nieves I thought played well. He certainly has the wheels. Seems like he has a head for the game. Even if the guy has hands like feet, he can win faceoffs, he's a big body and he can play a defensive role. I thinkhe is the guy to beat for 4th line C going into the season.
Andersson looked like he was having fun out there. Hustled, and played well. Especially in the first.
Carey also looked good. He's likely destined for the AHL, however hemight have been the best forward last night.
Tough night Schneider. Looked completely out of place.

Change is good.
Yeah, that was the other major gaffe I picked up on as well. Joe had to pause before answering, and stumbled before finally saying "uh, I think he's on the team," or something like that. Joe was clearly dumbfounded by the comment.

Sam Rosen has a job as long as he wants the job in my book but last night after viewing some clips I realized how much I miss Jim Gordon and Bill Chadwick. They were so awesome!
Straight line speed is great if the game was played in straight lines. It isn't.
He skates like mcilrath

Regarding comment on DeAngelo.......what?? Kid was butter out there not sure you can be much smoother than that
He doesn't.
Balance and edge work are much better. Comparing him to Staal, who may be the slowest player in the league is unfair.
You'll remember how horrible Staal's feet are when he plays tomorrow.

Yeah, seriously. DeAngelo is a tremendously smooth skater.
Maybe he's confusing him with Pionk, who is a little choppier in his stride?

I only got to watch the game in spurts but all of our defensemen were good with getting the puck out and on its way up the ice. This team is going to be exciting to watch...
That is, until Staal steps foot on NHL ice, at which point I will probably cry

Bereglazov, Staal, and Pedrie better take note on how DeAngelo and Pionk played tonight because they'll need to be on that level when they take the ice next.
Was not impressed with Graves. Poor lateral skating, got burned numerous times being flat footed and skaters moving laterally. He might not be an NHL player at this point, but it was only 1 preseason game. He'll get at least 2 more.
Holden is still bad. Please trade him.

That was my thought if anything I thought Pionk would be a little faster smoother. Maybe confusion there.
