At least they can skate. Slightly critical when you play a game on a sheet of ice.
Rather see Conor Allen then, I thought Mc skated better this preseason

Hold my baby, man.
I want to see Duke snipe one (or five) tonight. Kid's got a great shot.
I feel like we'll come out flying, but we need to stay consistent and not take dumb penalties that will result in the murdering of our momentum. I think we win this game.

They better win tonight. I do not want to watch them lose to the Islanders.
Yeah, while I don't think JT Miller is done (he's 21 years old), he doesn't have the upside Kreider does. At most, I see Miller as a 3rd liner.

i would keep playing jt miller. he hasnt been terrible. and hes a centerman.
hes -4 but so are brass, hags and zuke.
i would sit fast. not a fan if his game at all so far.
i like kevin hayes and would give him another game.
i have no problem at all playing ryan malone. again, size and great hands. pp time for him is a must.

Couldn't ell you what miller does well, he's not overly fast he doesn't have a good shot, he's terrible at faceoffs, he's not overly aggressive
Def not giving up on JT not by a long shot . He has abilities and skill. Just gotta be patient and obviously take some lumps in the process

Feeling it
The Rangers will show up tonight. Too much leadership in that room. Too much experience. AV will right the ship. I think the last two games this team was still a bit shell-shocked from losing Boyle and then Zucc (though his absence is more temporary).
I like adding Malone in there.

He's not fast like Kreider, Hagelin or duke but he's decent look at some of his goals... specifically the one against Boston where he takes the puck from like the Rangers Blue line and skates in no one catches him and then fakes out Rask.
I think the lack of aggressiveness is something that will come with age and coaching... Kreider and other rookies have looked very timid out there when they first come into the league.
Contrary to much of the negativity around here I still like Miller and Fast a lot. Miller I had more hope for of an early impact. But there is still plenty of time. And Fast is still a quality skater who can PK for us. It is a rough start. I am not ready to throw the towel in on these KIDS after 3 games. BUT at the same time I like AV changing up the lineup with the exception of Kostka.

This is a bad hockey team.
I hope I'm wrong but I don't see Miller succeeding with this organization. He just doesn't seem to fit in. I think he needs a change of scenery.

I think Lundqvist will have a bounce back game and the Rangers will win.
If only because there are Islanders fans positive they will "wipe the floor with them" and "the Islanders will sweep them this season."

Miller once said his favorite player growing up was Kovalev, and he tried to model his game after Kovalev.
This is part of the root problem IMO...he's not as skilled as Kovalev (few are) but he makes some of the same high risk plays at times. At the same time, the coaching staff is trying to get him to even out his game, not take big high risks, so he's a bit stuck between freewheeling it and trying to play safer. He's gotta find that sweet spot of making plays when they're available and making the safe play when they're not. He has good hands and is patient with the puck when he wants to be, just needs to not put it into dangerous situations because of that

Could be a very entertaining game tonight but I am not expecting to win.
Isles are playing well, we are not.

Not saying this will happen tonight but the Isles are playing the kind of unsustainable good that can come crashing down at any moment.
On the other hand they're a solid team so it might not crash that hard
