Joe kept saying Zib's pass was deflected, but to me it just looked like a saucer pass.

 

[Leonardo87]

KZB dominating and Quinn is just feeding them minutes

good ****

Yeah def deserved. AV would have moved Buch down to the 4th line by now. Make them play and work things out, was a slow start but they picked up in the 2nd half and led to that PP goal.

 

[haohmaru]

Buchnevich is primed to have a big year. He could be the first forward drafted by the Rangers to hit 60 points since Tony Amonte in 1992-3.

Man, how pathetic is THAT? Yeesh.

 

[Richard Banger]

Joined the game late in the period. How's Vesey?

He's been playing a lot better than previous games. Same with names

lmfao Buch being on the fourth line. what a wild ride that was.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Lias about to toss him into the crowd.

He needs Hayes to return. I feel bad for Lias. Vesey and Namestnikov as line mates. Thats rough.

First half of that period was terrible but they picked it up at the end. Lots more looking unsure in the D-zone tonight, with missed assignments and poor gap control. Also agree with Joe that we were very passive for large stretches.
Staal-Shattenkirk shouldn't be a pairing so not really sure why we'd be trying them out in our 2nd last pre-season game.
KZB is fun to watch
Staal and Andersson did a really good job on the PK of taking away the cross-ice pass, maybe we've finally woken up to this?

Joe was deflected as a child.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Al with the prying questions, Lias not giving him anything​

 

[mrmovies779]

This is stupid, but does it bother anyone else that most of Buch's goals are tip-ins or flukes? I feel like since his rookie year he beat a goalie clean like once. I want his shot to improve.

You're nitpicking.I wouldnt care if a goal went in off his ass.a goal is a goal.

 

[Machinehead]

Is our PA announcer new? Mistakes all over the place.

Ya I thought Skjei Pionk Crawley McQuaid were all totally fine in the defensive zone. No extended shifts in the D zone. It was just about entirely Shattenkirk-Staal that were hemmed in 3-4 times plus the GA.

 

[EpicDing]

Yeah at the game, he couldn't say Filppula lmao

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Staal is in midseason form already.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Well, my point is you can't really on fluky goals all the time.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Is it just me or does this preseason feel endless... just want the damn season to start even if we lose a lot..

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Ska jay jay looked like shit in the first.

 

[Machinehead]

Well, my point is you can't really on fluky goals all the time.

The Kings did. Twice.

 

[Richard Banger]

Man Staal looks toast. I think its time to bury him. Hopefully they do.

hes beaten goalies cleanly before.

 

[Machinehead]

Man Staal looks toast. I think its time to bury him. Hopefully they do.

Like literally? I'll help.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Barzal could honestly be better than Matthews.

No f***ing way.

 

[Rongosurus Lex]

Weidman for Staal! Make it happen!

 

[member 116805]

Was hoping he would KO Al, no dice

 

[EpicDing]

It kinda hits me watching live that we have a very stationary PK. Not sure I like it.
