inherently good
Rangers hockey so close yet so far. Really interested to see how the 2nd and 3rd lines pan out. Hope Kakko takes a step up this year. Laf/Chytil/Gauthier could be fun as well. Hell all of the lines except the 4th should be a good time.

Let's go Rangers!

David Quinn has finally achieved his goal of an all-American defense.

We will soon find out exactly how bad Jack Johnson is.

But we'll find out how good K'Andre Miller is!

The gently caress? Like I get that Glendening “plays the right way” and has been around for forever but Frans is a real head scratcher.

Also a question about the NHL.TV/center ice subscription. Every game is $100 for the season but subject to blackouts, but there’s the option to follow just one team for $85 that is still subject to blackouts? Am I missing something here? I have a VPN already so the every team package seems like an easy choice but that just seems like a lovely choice. Sorry if this is a derail but I poked around in the other thread and didn’t see to much discussion on this.

I believe in prior years with a regular schedule there was a bigger price delta between the all-team and one-team packages. It still wasn't a great bargain but you saved more than $15

I would think it does just in the general idea of what the team is striving for in its players? It’s not the biggest thing in the world but still someone is going out of their way to acknowledge the contributions of these players by giving awarding them the A to begin with, so maybe Frans is just very well respected in the locker room or as being a pro but I can’t imagine it’s for on ice contribution.

Thanks FBS

This shows NYR projecting more points than Philly which seems odd?

My hope is that they don't get down on him/bench him when Miller makes a mistake. I think there's a balance between "making rookie mistakes" and "is in over his head" and if he is capable of playing the minutes but makes those mistakes occasionally, that's normal. If he is struggling and making mistakes, then yeah pull him. No one should expect Miller to be perfect but I'm interested to see how he handles the pace

At least 3 teams are going to make the playoffs that probably shouldn't (and vice versa for teams that should) due to short season bullshit and I'm extremely wary of the Leafs constant drive to be disappointments in new and varied ways

The year is 2021, Connor McDavid enters his sixth NHL season. Zack Kassian, boasting a career high 34pt season, is his right winger.

I can see it, honestly.

Schmidt and Hamonic are improvements on Tanev and Stecher but it's hard to say the team really improved that much from last season. Factor in that and how many wins from last season involved Markstrom deciding he didn't want to let in goals anymore and they could be real fuckin' bad.

Everyone saw that coming. Pacioretty absolutely did not want it. Only other guy I could see is maybe Marchessault and there is Pietrangelo who hasn't played a single game for them yet.

After losing amusingly the Leafs have decided to get older, slower, and tougher? by adding more losers yes.

Edit: They also still haven't addressed the multi-year problems with the defense and goaltending and depth scoring.

There's gonna be a few weeknight triple-headers like this. Partly because of the (lack of) attendance, partly also to just cram this season into the short time frame.
