[Zats Muccarello]

His puck skills are way better than he gets credit for.

his hands are silky smooth

Adam Fox is a great player. What I don't understand is why the moderators shut down the Anthony DeAnglelo Appreication Thread. Sounds like a first amendment issue.

It's actually not.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

I'd like to thank the Harvard Crimson and Carolina Hurricanes for developing Fox for the Rangers.

I agree. I’ve actually written my congressman about this.

I think you should make that very clear and storm a building.

I would. But it looks like rain....

Rain and mace, a terrible combination.

I think too many people don't understand how the first amendment works. lol

Including, as this past week showed, some members of the US Senate.

I was being inclusive of that lol

I was reading a projection for USA’s next Olympic team via The Athletic, and thought this was hilarious:

“On defense, it’s another thank you to those guys — and this one is real — for leaving me a top pair. Zach Werenski’s slow start notwithstanding, he and Adam Fox are a no-brainer. One can run a power play, and the other appears to already be capable of everything.”

The only "negatives" I can dig up with Fox are

1. He isn't a burner
2. He isn't great defending in front of his own net.

The former isn't even a problem as he still finds ways to create space for him self and get around players. He doesn't really get beat very often so the recovery speed hasn't really been necessary either.

So its really just the second one.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the 2nd one is true of anyone Fox's size.

Is there any case to be made importing the entire Lindgren-Fox pair and deploying them as such in the Olympics?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

made great plays on the first 2 goals yesterday, especially that 2nd goal, that was all him. Muscled Palmieri off the puck, perfect pass to Strome in the slot. Strome of course misses the net, it bounces around the boards and finds its way Lindgren who fires a shot off of Kreider and in. Strome owes Fox a point.

The 2nd one is why you pair him up someone big who can clear out the front, or Lindgren, who plays as if he is twice his own size.

Edit: I'll also say that Fox is deceptively faster than he looks on the ice. He gets back in a hurry when he needs to.

[Mac n Gs]

Just lol'ing at that end-to-end rush for the PP goal. This kid just absolutely has blown miles past my original expectations and has solidified himself as one of the best defensemen around the league

 

[duhmetreE]

what Adam Fox sees before heading up the ice....

 

[Jayan]

On a rebuilding team with talent like Chytil, Lafreniere, Kakko etc... the others is not even close to as good as Adam Fox is..

We are gonna have to start giving out awards with this kids name soon.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Fox looks really similar to Drew Doughty. I would argue that Fox is probably ahead of him in comparable development. At the very least, from a defensive standpoint.
