Pre-Game Talk: Camp Thread

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Miller needs to go where hes playing top 4 minutes while continuing to learn his position and improve his own zone coverage.

In general, yes he does. Like with any prospect, he could benefit tremendously from a cup of coffee here or there too.

 

[Alluckks]

Biron had a strong mask game

 

[STHLM]

Hanks setup in 2014 was perfect

These playoffs are gonna be so weird. Just read they are gonna have crowd noise piped in. The NHL actually contacted season ticket holders to send in tapes of them cheering, chanting and booing. EA Sports will provide the rest. LOL! It will play not only for the TV audience, but also played inside the arenas. They will have LED big screens and banners behind the benches to block the empty seats. And they will have 32 cameras, 12 more than usual.

The broadcast of these playoffs could be a horror show, if they switch camera angles frequently during play. They better do this right.

NHL games to have 5-second delay, EA cheering

I'm ok with the crowd noise the piped in noise and music, all that extra stuff. What scares me is "we have 32 cameras!" and they're in different places and we have a moving camera on a crane. I just want to watch a hockey game. I don't want constant changes in view and weird angles.

European football is using video game sound for stadium and broadcast. I believe they also offer home viewers the option to watch with or without the sound effects.

Yeah. I agree. I don’t think it’s a detriment at all for a rookie to play 3rd pairing or 4th line minutes in the NHL as opposed to top line/pairing minutes in the AHL for example. I think that’s just a myth.

I think it depends on the kid.

 

[Irishguy42]

Per Sara Civian, looking like no Pesce or Hamilton for the Canes vs the Rangers.

Insanely lucky for the Rangers.

 

[egelband]

Well, of course. But the complaining about playing kids on the fourth line or whatever is way overblown.

E: not referring to anyone in particular. Just talking broadly.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Well, of course. But the complaining about playing kids on the fourth line or whatever is way overblown.

I thinks more of an issue of how a player earns a spot. If a player is handed a spot on the 4th line, that doesn't work for me. If he forces the issue, knocks down the door and earns a spot that has to be on the fourth line, fine.

That means big minutes for Brady Skjei

Try to realize that without fans, they don't have a crowd to show after goals, bad calls, disputed goals etc... I imagine the extra cams will provide more replay angles etc... not necessarily for live angles of play.

Since there's very little 'normal' in anything anymore, I think adding cams is a great place to start.

Maybe you get a better angle of the guy coming out of the box and getting a breakaway, or a botched line change that leads to a goal, or a great hit deep in the corner just after the play. Player/coach interviews will be very different also.

Changing my pick from Rangers in 4 to Rangers in 3.

It all balances out.
NYR will be without Haley, Lias, Ebert, Day, Beleskey, Nieves, Gross, Gropp, Barron, Lundkvist and K'Andre
(heh heh

 

[Trxjw]

Well if Dan "not even an AHL player" Girardi went on to play a couple more years with Tampa and Neal "Worst defensemen in the NHL by a mile" Pionk ended up playing 24 solid minutes a night with Winnipeg, I can only imagine what a stud Skjei is going to be with Carolina.

 

[Roo Returns]

I wouldn't get arrogant and anything can happen in a short series with little game prep but no Hamilton or Pesce really tilts the odds in the Rangers favor. The D is no longer a clear cut advantage for Carolina and the Rangers also have the "guys who could go off" factor with Kakko ,Gauthier, Buch. Kreider and Fast are also proven playoff performers.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

This is all setting up for the ultimate RONGO scenario. We beat Carolina, they win Lafreniere, we lose in round 1, and the Leafs win the cup giving us the 31st pick

Not happening. Not with their 1980s beer league D.

Rangers fans have to be the most PTSD'd fans in all of sports.

Everything somehow is always related to 7 really bad years and 2 disastrous picks.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I've been of the opinion that the Rangers have the advantage no matter who the Canes dressed on D. The goaltending gap between the 2 teams is enormous.

Doesn't mean they're a lock to win, but I'll be surprised if the Rangers don't take this one. Next round? Different story.

 

[bl02]

We have to root hard for the jackets whatever happens in our series happens. Just want the guys to perform well especially guys like fox and Kakko

7 bad years doesn't scratch the surface. You're neglecting almost a century of futility. One cup in 80 years for starters.

The negativity is tiring.

agreed

there’s no reason why we shouldn’t smoke this team.

 

[TominNC]

But we lost a series to the Islanders in 1975!

 

[Richard Banger]

agreed

Will be interesting to see what a coach Quinn team looks like in the playoffs.
