Fox’s D numbers haven’t been as good this year but I’d wonder how much of that was the iffy team start and how it’ll equalize out

Fox and Makar both remind me of prime Leetch in different aspects of their games, but I feel like Fox is still the more complete player. Leetch is the best American-born defenseman ever in the NHL, and I think by the end of his career, Fox will be in that same conversation.

new system along w/ quality of competition is another aspect. He's getting all the tough matchups.
He's a bona fide, complete #1. That's why he's the best defensemen in the league.

wait ... all that Makar talk on the last pages of the last thread was meant seriously?
I was sure people were joking.
As of now the way to the Norris goes through Fox. Leading all NHL D in points Adam Fox. Crazy goalie-like saves on the goal line Adam Fox. NYR MVP Adam Fox.
The Norris will be a battle of few players for the decade to come. Barring injury Fox will be top 3 for the next ten years. (give Mo Seider one or two more years
) I don't even see the issue, what were people arguing back there?
Do people fear Fox's legacy will be lessened by Makar being in the league and snatching some trophies? Fox will make his own legacy, has already.
idk, watch the game, enjoy.

Is it still called the Norris? Hearing the way idiotic , whiny Avs fans talk I thought it was renamed to the Makar.

Lindgren was also very poor to start the year.
It's not really a coincidence that this team's overall play started to pick up once Lindgren (and more importantly, Panarin) stopped playing like butt.
Theres more to it than that, but those guys are a big part of the turn around. Once Mika gets going, this will be really fun.

I love Fox (who doesn't?), but it's hard to see him ahead of Shesterkin right now. It's a good problem to have lol.

Yeah, no. Shesterkin is fantastic, but you couldn't realistically call him the best in the league at his position. Fox is there already.

He's a lot closer than people give him credit.
Having them both at the same time needs to bear fruit.

Adam Fox, past 82 regular season games, updated after Chicago game.
Games: 82
Goals: 11
Assists: 68
Points: 79
+/-: +32
I know it's impossible to track, but I wish there was a reliable stat for keeping the puck in the offensive zone. Fox's reads and hand-eye lead to Panarin and others getting so many second chances to make plays in the Zone.
I think it's quietly helped the development of Kakko. Last year, it seemed that whenever Kakko was on the ice, it was with Smith, Libor. Plays were one and out, get back on D, and that was Kakko's shift. Kakko himself has made great strides and he's playing with better forwards now. Don't overlook the Fox-Lindgren pair's contribution there by keeping plays alive for Kakko's lines to do more.

Somehow the Garden doesn't have Fox jerseys or t-shirts. It's ridiculous. I thought he was the best mix of youth and talent. I decided on a Kakko t-shirt.

Yea probably this. I went to a game in like January of last year and tried to get a Kakko jersey at one of the floor-level stores and they were sold out. I had to "settle" for a Fox jersey instead.
