[Doctor King Schultz]

How did that scrub not get a diving penalty?

The preseason is for practicing all aspects of the game, including diving.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

how does Richards look?

Much better this period.

 

[Unpredictable1]

Are there ANY Center Ice subscribers on here that are watching this game through Center Ice feed?

 

[Championship*]

Loving that new look offense...

 

[Machinehead]

Holy ****, hockey is on.

 

[JohnC]

Did I hear Dancing Larry music before?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Good period for the good guys.

Talbot looked good, too.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

2nd Period was much more solid.

 

[Ail]

6 minutes and 39 seconds to go.

 

[Baby Punisher]

After 2 periods I can safely say Chico will have his work cut out for him showering man love on Brodeur & Schneider.

 

[Raspewtin]

Talbot looks sharp.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Chris "uhh" Kreider

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Kreider's stellar play-off performance in 2012 will hunt him for years. Expectations are just too damn high.

YOUR 2013/14 NEW YORK RANGERS!

[Blueshirt Believer]

Well, considering its a pre-season game and camp has been about a week: I'm not expecting much.

Some great individual play from guys like Moore, and Richards. Some guys not so much like Falk.

Also, it seems that AV has not implemented any unique system as of yet. The boys are playing pretty much Torts hockey albeit very sloppily. The only real noticeable difference are that pointmen seem to be getting more involved in offense.

Still, I don't see any different tactics as of yet. The Rangers are still differing too much down low. I would say the most damning thing is that they have collectively been very soft on the puck. Too many guys staring or being passive to tracking down the puck.

Also, most importantly, the breakouts look exactly the same. Almost no movement from the middle and guys are too stagnant too far up the ice.

At the end of the day, I'm just being hyper critical. I think AV is simply looking at what he has before trying to overhaul the system.

I blame Kreider for that goal. He messed up on the boards when he could've cleared the puck, and then he tried stick checking a little too early, watching the puck go in.

Moore and Staal have looked the best. I like Moore's skating, and Staal's shooting.
