Post-Game Talk: Pre-season - 10/08/2022 - New York Rangers @ New York Islanders - 7pm EST - MSG

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Idk if anyone has watched any of the Preds/Sharks games today and yesterday, but the digital ads they’re running on the boards are absolutely horrible. They look terrible when the camera and action is in motion which is basically the entire time, they’re clipping on and off the area and they just overall look terrible. Hockey being hard to follow on TV is the big issue for many casual fans and something this terrible makes the game look even worse on tv. I understand something like this in soccer bc the ads are further away from the action/camera and the game doesn’t move as fast but in hockey the boards are right on top of the action and closer to the camera and the game moves way faster so the camera is moving non stop.

This is far more egregious and way way way worse than jersey ads to me. I’d rather have euro style jerseys than these ads. It ruins watching the game on TV.

Before the cult of Kravtsov goes crazy here, let's look at things in a wider lens.

This is Rangers/Islanders. Last game of preseason. It can and probably will get chippy. Reaves is a must tonight, along with Tinordi.

Also it's very possible that the games Reaves dresses for, 74 is the scratch

Just like Glass when he was in the lineup for Buchnevich when he was here.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

This is the wackiest preseason schedule ever.

*whackest

If that was the case, I would rather sit a guy like Panarin or Zibanejad to avoid injury. Kids need to learn sometime.

A couple days ago Ross Johnston bullied the Flyers Ronnie Attard into a fight. Attard is not a fighter. Attard wasn’t really hurt but it was pretty much unprovoked and Johnston is capable of really hurting somebody. So having both Reaves and Tinordi in this one is not really a bad idea. Also both Trouba and Lindgren are a little banged up and not playing.

Not disagreeing here, but then we should rest our stars and not our kids. Especially since it's not a home game.

I pray you’re right

This is a dress rehearsal, IMO

I'm usually not but I'm pulling for the kid too

Put Kakko in the top 6
☐ Put Laf in the top 6

Finally we are half way to what we've been asking for for the past calendar year.
It would definitely be asking too much to also fix the 3rd line to be something like Blais - Chytil - Krav

Way, WAY too much to ask from these galaxy brains

 

[LOFIN]

Yay because Kakko gets more icetime. But it didn't work with Kreider and Zib before so why would it now lol.

Would rather keep the kids together. Finally, seemed to find a line that can achieve constant 5v5 offensive pressure for the first time in like 3 seasons. But can't keep them together because the top guys can't carry their own lines. JFC...

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Excited to see Kakko on the top line, a big game from him on here right before the season starts would be pretty nice for his confidence going into the season.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Unironically we would be a better team if I were coach

Can i be your assistant?

 

[Roo Returns]

Kravstov can't get cut. They're not going to lose him for nothing. He might start as the 13th or 14th forward. There will be injuries. He'll get in.

Gauthier and Hunt most likely pass.

They may make a move or two before Wednesday.

Yet the Flyers had at least one of their tougher players on the ice when that happened, and he did not prevent it or do anything about it.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Yikes

Edit: NVM I thought he said “interesting” not “interested” thought there was some bad news lmao

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Think it’s clear Krav will start as the 13th forward

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Maybe the Krav fans who defended GG when he would screw over Kakko and Laf will realize that we were right all along. This is just a terrible decision. We have Stanley Cup hopes and we have Vesey in the top 6? Are you #@$#$% kidding? The devils didn't want him back, and that's for bottom minutes. Give Krav time to learn on the job. It's a long season. Moves like this may hurt in the short term (probably not), but we have long term aspirations. This coach wants to chase points in October? And he thinks Vesey Carpenter and Reaves are the way to do it? FFS.

 

[Crease]

Incredible that he managed to get benched in the preseason LOL

Completely distracting.

I love Kakko now, screw this slob who uses his tie as a napkin
