Jones had no points today but his team advances to the semifinal.

 

[cwede]

Looks like he’ll be gone by the time the Rangers draft.

NYR can still easily end up w top ~8 pick.
Only 4 teams way under .500,
then Devs at 4 under,
all else -2 or better.

Sure would be nice but the Rangers are starting to get it together so unless Quinn was the problem, I think they might fall into the 10-14 range.

yeah its not a big gap between playoff bubble and top 5 pick...rangers are right now 5 points out of playoff spot and 6 points from having the 4th worst record. basically anything is on the table as a possibility

I don't think this is entirely correct as an observation. The games I've seen Jones play, he's got an intelligence to his game and vision that Sjkei has never possessed. Sjkei has always been a guy with some great tools -- size, speed, reach. But his outlet passes, his decision making meant he needed to develop more of a stay at home style. But he couldn't wrap his brain around that while with NYR.

Jones is a much headier player. A player who sees the game well. I don't think he is as good as Fox and he might never be more than a bottom pairing PP specialist. Or an AHL all-star. But his game is far different than Sjkei's ever was.

A better comparable to Brady Sjkei is K'Andre Miller. Miller has even more tools than Sjkei but the jury is still out on whether he can clean up his game enough to become a stalwart. Their development trajectory is much much similar.

I feel like early on Miller looked like a much intelligent player than he has lately. I felt like his intelligence was a strength, now it looks like a weakness. I guess he's a rookie it happens.

minnesota duluth just beat north dakota 3-2 in 5OT...longest game in NCAA history.

game was 2-0 and north dakota scored twice in the final 100 seconds with the goalie pulled to tie it...

Miller has hit the proverbial rookie wall. Back in February we’re musing on it coming toward the end of March. Well, like a clock...

Fox’s head is always in the game. He’s almost always in the right place and almost always does the right thing. He’s not a physical player but his positioning of body and stick make him a very effective defender and in a way he reminds me of Nicklas Lidstrom. His hockey sense is outstanding.

This is the comparison I keep coming back to with Fox. I’ve just been too cautious and scared to actually say it. LOL

Schneider played tonight so he is back from the lower body injury

 

[nyr2k2]

Schneider had an assist, Robertson had an assist, Rempe has two secondary assists through 2 periods.

 

[Leetch3]

 

[cwede]

3 MN teams and Jones

 

[Fitzy]

TBH Greg Carvel has always been an underrated coach

 

[Leetch3]

minnesota state's first trip to the frozen four

 

[Fitzy]

Sorry if this has been discussed already... but it’s late March- is Vierling going to play this season or is this a lost year?

They're still hoping to come back, but last I heard they still couldn't get provincial approval on a plan and with each passing week it looks less and less likely they'll be able to get in the 24-game season they want.

Can't help that for whatever reason Canada is struggling comparatively with their vaccine rollout.

Ah well. At least we have a lot fewer serious prospects in the OHL than other franchises.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Nice! And the game will be on ESPN2 a week from Thursday. I'll definitely be tuning in.

 

[nyr2k2]

Henriksson was the 4C, had 1 SOG and was -1.

Själin had an assist and 2 PIM in 14 minutes.

Nothing for Lundkvist, who took a cross-check call and a misconduct.

In that same game Luleå shelled Linköping and Ollas came in during the second, stopping 10/11 in his second SHL appearance.

CSKA won Game 7 of their semifinal series to make it to the West Finals, but Rykov didn't play. He's been a 7th D all playoffs long basically.

[nyr2k2]

Schneider and Rempe both picked up assists through the magic of scoring reviews.

I hope so. He’s certainly one Of the more interesting prospects we have on talent alone. Hope he develops into a steal

then Devs at 4 under,
