I just wanted to say I understand and respect how much people supported KK. I always want NYR fans to like and support our guys. I never had a problem with anyone supporting KK. My only problem was when to fans would bash others (coaches, linemates, etc) to support him. KK seems like a good guy so we all should have wanted him to prosper as a NYR. It just didn't work out for us for whatever reason.

One of the things I appreciate about Borgen is that he does things with intention. He may not make the proper reads 100% of the time but when he arrives, he’s arriving through the forward he’s guarding and his skating allows him to arrive quickly and with pace. That’s how Miller SHOULD be playing but he arrives passively or just doesn’t react fast enough.

I was a fan of his when he was in Seattle and I could really see Drury saying this is the type of guy who could fit well in NY for a bit of time. On top of that, I really don’t think he would be expecting a massive pay increase. Maybe something like $3.5-4m per season which is reasonable for a guy in his age range

I don't know how Borgen will work out long term but I do know we need speed and physical play. I have read he brings both so hopefully it does work out well. Maybe it will encourage others to get more aggressive at times?

Kakko -2, under 13 mins.

Here's the 15th coach giving him little time on ice. I guess he is on for goals scored against...


In all seriousness, I'm not sure he's had a real practice with the club yet, but it'll be interesting to see if his time on ice continues to stay at the 13 or under pace.

He's not been noticeable. Early in the game, he gave McCann a nice cross ice feed for a scoring chance but that was about all I remember from him.

DId the fanbase hand out cookies for him making a hockey play?
