I could not see the game, live in Canada. Glad to hear he had a good game.Really liked Richard's game tonight
Yeah, I was not a fan of the homes from the get-go, but I was thinking the same thing as you after seeing them on TV from a distance. They look almost beige, and definitely have a Pen's vibe, which is an icky vibe in my book. I know it won't happen, but I really wish they would change the home unis and somehow use the center ice logo as the crest on the jerseys. That logo looks very sharp.The jerseys threw me off a bit. Up close they look decent, but from a distance the muted gold and the white lettering are giving me a Penguins "champagne gold" vibe.
Considering the Rangers minor league lineup, not much else to be impressed with other than Poitras and the proununciation of his name.
It was on Sportsnet. As is the Sabres game Tuesday.I could not see the game, live in Canada. Glad to hear he had a good game.
Richard is one of my dark horses to make the team. We will need his skill and goal scoring on the 4th line.
Maybe this will shed some light on the issue. The man himself saying his name:Poitras. Pot-twahs, Po-Twaah, Poitrah
It's the new MarChAND vs MarSHAN.

For sure. Very easy to say compared to the YouTube videos I listened to that tell how to pronounce "Poitras" in perfect French. French pronunciations of some words give me absolute fits.Potrah!
Perfect.
That great pass to DeBrusk came from Poitras. Thought Geekie was underwhelming too. But it's great to get other people's takes because I'm sure I miss a tonExactly. Last night was all about the kids. JVR had a great pass to DeBrusk on the 2nd goal and then played his game. Only time I noticed him was when he and Geekie were out there in the 3rd hitting every Rangers player they could.
I think Frederic is responding really well to them asking him to be more of a leader. They’ve asked him to lead the third line. Last night they put an “A” on his jersey.What I saw from Frederic last night is what I had hoped to see last preseason. Last year's preseason Frederic was playing like he was core and had no chance of being knocked out of the lineup. Only one game, but last night Frederic played hungry and as if there are no guarantees. Really liked his overall game. Fingers crossed that he keeps playing with that hunger and detail in his game.

Yes, change for the sake of change (and profit). Terrible jerseys. I also hated the way the spoked B looked at center ice. Maybe that will grow on me but those jerseys were cringeworthy. The sparkle crap on them made them look mustard color (as someone else here pointed out). They could've done so much better with those home jerseys but ruined them.I just watched the highlights on youtube. Bussi looked amazing. I've been down on Ullmark since April and willing to trade him at a high value, buty wasn't sure what was behind Swayman as a backup, but if this kid can do that, they'd be dumb not to trade Linus.
The other takeaway I had: the white numbers and nameplates on these jerseys are awful.

I don't mind the killer bees stripes. But the white numbers are really off putting watching it on tv. Like my screen's color is glitching.I just watched the highlights on youtube.

He butchered his own name, but hey it's his name and it works. And it's simple enough for the commentators.He pronounces his name like an Anglo from Ontario would. However his name is of French origin and is not pronounced like he does.
But hey, if it works for him it works for me.
Beecher can make the team because:Beecher was 7/11 at 63.6% from the dot.
Poitras was 7/12 at 58.3% from the dot.
