This is ****ing ridiculous. This new NHL design is awful. The highlights would have been up by now under the old format.

They have a ton of players right now so next game is likely a brand new 12 forwards for the most part
How does this look compared to what you guys think about the game? Rapid reactions?
Zib didn't play enough 5v5, but there was a ton of special teams play, so that makes sense.
I haven't seen the game yet, but based on this chart I think I could guess the usage pretty well.

The puck was the in the air, McI went to snatch it out of the air and either misjudged its puck's projection, then tried to recover by reaching for it after it went by him.
In my opinion it was only one game, AV said after the game that McI and a couple other d men played good games, and McI definitely played better as the game went on. I think he will build off of this game.
I just have patience in preseason, I don't let it be OMG this team is awesome or all doom and gloom, that goes for the individual players. First game i expect rust, most players got better as the game went on. I did not think Staal or Girardi were bad, i think just shaking off the rust there, I'm not worrying about them until the end of the preseason.

Gerbe hasn't even played in a game yet. There are 3 teams, A, B, and C. Team A just played last night, Team B which contains Gerbe, Nash, Hayes, Vesey, etc. play tomorrow night. We will see, I am sure Gerbe will get a very long hard look at camp. I don't think he will get waived.

Few thoughts.
Mika looked like an animal.
Ck showed good chemistry with mika.
Brandon pirri will help on the pp and can score 20 for this team. Legit shot and should play a top 9 role and certainly the pp.
Clendening showed something that stood out. He's got skills and looked good on the pp point. Need another looksee
Mcilraths game was steady and controlled last night and the goal was very nice. He walked the puck nicely and found some space and delivered a bomb. Showed smarts and progression. After a so-so start, he rebounded nicely. Needs to keep it simple and let the game come to him. Would still like to see more from him near the crease. He does his best work in tight. when he starts chasing out too far or taking bad angles when he pursuing, he can look foolish.
Brady skjei looked ok but made a few errors and fumbled a few pucks. Still think his upside is very high and his effortless stride is always consistent. Hell be fine.
Buchnevich wasn't as involved as I would like. His linemates carried the play and he was either not directly involved or an out right passenger on most scoring plays. Seemed timid and too easy knocked off pucks. Did not see his positioning to be that strong. Lots of roaming in offensive zone rather than in good scoring spots. I saw some continuation from traverse last night and that's not really a good thing. Expecting more from him but allowing for his game to develop. Needs to show more creativity and create some scoring chances.

Gotta say I disagree there; he got turned around by guys going back to juniors last night and was floating back on plays he pinched.
I respect what the guy did in the past... but time to really move on.
I gave up on him after he was pleading for an icing in the playoffs and missed his assignment who scored a goal with 5-6 seconds to go in a period.
Sure McIlrath flopped the 1st period and looked shaky... but Dylan's skating is leagues ahead of Dan's at this point.
Unfortunately Dan's become a walking rosary bead of vitriol from members of this board.
Calling a spade for what it is:
He's even slower in a faster league. There's nothing you can redeem there.

I agree with your analysis up until Buchnevich. Early on he was nervous and timid, but what do you expect, his first North American Pro game (yes, preseason, but pro game nonetheless), still learning english. I thought there were times he wasn't very strong on the puck, but seemed to hold his own pretty well, made some good passes, had a couple good shots, hit the net on most of his shots. I think his next game will be better and i thought the chemistry on that line with Z and Kreids was great through all three of them, not just Z and Kreids carrying them. His D coverage was really good as well.
Just different opinions, I don't expect Buch to come in and light it up and highlight reel plays every play he makes, and I think he was good and he will continue growing as he gets more NHL experience.
He's an interesting one. I don't see a fit. I just don't see this guy on a winning team.
However.... goalies hate this guy's shot... they can't pick it up.
Problem is that Gerbe never had the separation speed to get open and clean shots.
He's a body, that's all. Doesn't fill needs.
AV literally word for word:
Speaking of which, AV said this about Buchnevich: “The skill set we’ve all talked about since the start of camp, you saw it tonight. He’s a young player going through the process and hopefully he’ll continue to improve.†- See more at: http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2016/...vr.it&utm_medium=twitter#sthash.EUn3HoA9.dpuf
