Keith Yandle

[jskramer83]

Even more impressive then having 6 high quality d men like we do, is that each line has a d guy who can score

 

[Algernop Kreider]

There was one pass where Nash was skating wide open in the neutral zone and Yandle got the puck and moved it up to him so fast Nash wasn't expecting it.

At least that's what it looked like to me

I think Yandle just put it too far in front of him.

 

[Poozer]

What im scared of is the team forcing it to him on the PP like they used to with Jagr back in the day. It killed everything.

I mean Jagr did have 24 PPG the one year, so that is a pretty solid strategy.

Thought Yandle was good last night. That one shift he had when NSH was pinned in their own end and he was just slinging quick passes to JTM and Stepan from the blueline was awesome to watch. Once he gets used to our style and the pace we play at he's going to be racking up assists. Like he said, he's not used to seeing so many players fly up the ice the way we do. Hagelin, Kreider, Nash.. I can't even imagine the stretch passes we'll be seeing him zing over to those guys. Exciting for sure

 

[Raspewtin]

You could see that a lot of the players on this team didn't expect Yandle's passes to them. They were surprised someone on this defense could make a hard and accurate pass, for once.

 

[Doctyl]

I feel like some of the players were trying to feed him the puck. Idk if thats like a "lets see what you can do" thing or just my perception. I liked that I saw him calling for it a few times though.

Seeing Yandle in 93 is so weird, it reminds me of preseason because that's usually the only time you ever see a defenseman wearing a number that high.

I don't blame you..kid had speed...but not much else sadly.

Can't believe my initial reaction to the deal was negative.

I guess I'm still so scarred by the MSL deal that I shot from the hip.

But man, that game last night... That's how hockey is supposed to be played. Sheer dominance against the team with the best record in the league. Unbelievable.

I loved hearing about how they outshot Detroit so bad last game, then seeing NYR bury them in shots.

Detroit should be another good test. Looking forward to seeing how they fare.

Our first powerplay post Yandle leaving just led to a short handed goal. And we were 5th in the league prior to dealing him. With our garbage forwards.

God damnit I'm jealous tonight.

In 3 or 4 years we might be the jealous ones. Good luck with the rebuilding.

Yeah--Duclair's going to be a good player. It might take 3 or 4 years but he's got the skills to be a legit 1st line winger. I thought he'd have a decent shot to make our team again next year--so I'd expect he'll make yours. Great skater--jaw dropping hand skills.

I like John Moore as well. This is his shot to prove himself.

I would've thought he was close to a lock to make the Rangers next season.

“If you just look at the back end out, the Rangers are as strong as any team,†Yandle said yesterday, per NHL.com. “They are fast up front, have tons of speed and skill, and the goaltending is best in the league. I can’t find a weak flaw in the lineup so it’s pretty cool to be a part of it.â€

 

[2Leetch_94]

Yandle got beat one-on-one once tonight but it's nothing that hasn't happened to John Moore numerous times. Extremely impressed with his passing and ability to keep the puck moving in the offensive zone, it looks like what the power play should be, but it's at ES. Once he gets more experience in AV's system and used to his teammates...it's going to be really fun to watch. Rangers had a good group of defensemen prior but none of them could think or execute the game offensively like Yandle can and it seems to be bringing out the best in Boyle. It's going to be a treat watching them down the stretch and hopefully during a long playoff run.

He loves to shoot the puck from the center of the blueline, and the hesitation slapper is his signature move. I watched most of both games now and I've noticed that the Ranger forwards don't really look for D trailers when breaking into the zone. That's a shame, because a lot of KY's genius comes from being that guy and making a superb pass when the defense is turning to him.

He needs to be the 1 in a 1-3-1 PP to really shine with the skating and vision. OEL has a lot of goals because he'd play the right and slide down into the circles, then receive a nice Yandle pass.

They'll figure it out. He looks good. He also turns it up a few notches in the playoffs. Big game player.

He will be missed.

our forwards usually do a good job of pulling up and finding the trailer on the rush. i dont think nash ever saw yandle on that 2 on 1 though.

Actually, the Rangers forwards usually do a good job of pulling up and finding the trailer. Zuccarello, Brassard, Hayes, Stepan and MSL all do it regularly.

Going to need to give Yandle some time before he can settle in to his new team. I'm impressed with what I see so far and I really think he's going to be extremely valuable to the powerplay once things get rolling and into the playoffs.
