GDT: PS #2 - 09/20/19 | RANGERS @ devils | 7:00 - MSG

[Killem Dafoe]

Strong shift for Chytil there.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

This team needs to start games better. That's twice in a row where they don't look ready to play. Can't have that in the regular season.

I have been watching this team for 32 years, and the only season where this WASN'T a thing, they won the Stanley f***ing Cup.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Chytil looks absolutely dominant & hungry these first 2 shifts
He reminds me of a stronger grittier version of Hughes

 

[Tob]

Lettieri didn't give me any reason to believe that he's an NHL player last year. He needs to improve a lot to be on this team long term.

Ya, last year was basically his latitude. Every game is on the clock for him this year.

Chad 2 looks great so far. Larger and less lanky.

 

[Kovalev27]

Great shift by Chytil. That’s the stuff barzal does. Just goes for a skate and sets guys up. Love that ability Chytil has it

 

[LeetchisGod]

I'm going to despise Hughes as much as Crosby in short order. So annoyed that the Devils got him.

 

[haohmaru]

I'll continue making fun of Hughes but I've always said he's better than Kakko and I can't believe so many people on here were saying they'd rather have Kakko than him lol

Let's let them play a few seasons before deciding who's better, shall we?

 

[Kaako Kappo]

I'll continue making fun of Hughes but I've always said he's better than Kakko and I can't believe so many people on here were saying they'd rather have Kakko than him lol

It's f***ing preseason and you're here announcing who's better

I mean I don't have any clue which one will be the better player, but it's good that you already know.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Think Chytil changed stick. He used to use CCM rib core I believe, he’s using a Bauer Nexus.

Maybe just trying it out. Stick looks longer too, could be different lie. He was controling the puck further from his body.

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

Giuseppe and DeAngelo; you got a problem with that?

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Normal NHL quality shift by the Rangers.

We are game ready and it’s only preseason.

 

[Kovalev27]

Both these games the devils goalies have made big stops early and our guy hasn’t.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Namestnikov brings nothing to the table offensively.

 

[Tob]

Vladislav Namestikov still snake bitten after 5 months off.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Buch looking awful there

 

[MrPodz]

Did marc staal just play defense?

 

[Black Aces]

same real scrubs in our lineup tonight

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Buch already sulking about not playing with Mika.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

just got stripped from behind again

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Listening to Ken Daneyko makes me want to puke. Guys sounds like someone who took way too many pucks to the face

 

[LeetchisGod]

That's not going to get it done Buch.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Buch still looks like the same physicaly overmatched kid he always has.

 

[Kovalev27]

This is not a good start for Brett Howden. It feels like could be on the bubble doesn’t it?

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Buch already sulking about not playing with Mika.

Maybe he will feel more at home if we finally sign some other Russian players.

It's ****ing preseason and you're here announcing who's better

I mean I don't have any clue which one will be the better player, but it's good that you already know.

When I say I've always said he's better than him I obvs mean a better prospect based on what we've seen so far I'm not saying he'll have the better career, nobody knows. But don't deny if Kakko had 3 goals 3 periods & 30 seconds into the preseason and Hughes had 1 secondary assist; a lot of Rangers fans would be saying see Kakko is used to playing against men etcetcetc, I think those of us saying Kakko is so much more ready than Hughes will be eating crow.

In my opinion, Hughes is actually is more NHL ready and Kakko is the higher ceiling/higher risk prospect. I could see Kakko coming out of the gate slow, just because he's bigger doesn't mean he's further into his development or closer to his ceiling than Hughes
