way too niche.
Especially when I never watched the movie ('cause I thought Borat was so cringe a character)
Was thinking the same. For someone who was an off-season acquisition, didn't show much to separate from the in-house options from Utica.To be honest i expected more from Nosek. I know he's a fourth liner but all i see is him getting outworked.
I’ve actually liked his play quite a bit. He’s good at getting on pucks and keeping the puck. Think his contribution is more than worth it. Think he’s been much better than the in-house optionsWas thinking the same. For someone who was an off-season acquisition, didn't show much to separate from the in-house options from Utica.
Is blocking a promotion for one of the guys from within the organization worth his contribution? Small sample size to be sure but thought crossed my mind.
If Nosek is not good, Foote will take his spot and Nosek will be an extra. Young guys like Thompson or Clarke are better off in Utica then watching in street clothes in NJ.Was thinking the same.

Nosek has been much been than Foote. Thompson hardly falls into the young guy category (24 and has to go through waivers) and if anything should be on the team over Foote.If Nosek is not good, Foote will take his spot and Nosek will be an extra.

Plus you cut veteran guys who are going to make the team slack in preseason. It's about conditioning and getting acclimated for him more than for guys who are trying to stay in the NHL.Nosek is a perfect 4th line player for this team. FO ability, PKer, veteran, cheap. Give him some time to adjust to a new team.
While it is far to small of a sample and there’s definitely some adjustment for them, I’m not sure you can blame Miller’s inability to complete simple passes and not lose the puck on said adjustment. But it’s still preseason and too earlyFolks are putting way too much stock into preseason performances, especially from veterans who are new to the team.
This is why I made the joke about Miller and Nosek being the obvious bottom line whipping boys when things go wrong. People are already getting on their cases when they are still trying to learn a new system and a real game hasn't even been played yet.
Alpha.Bratt always looks like he doesn't care....
It's his trademark look much like Nico's "Grimace" look.
This is all fine, I was arguing against the idea that Nosek is taking the spot of a young guy. Even if we say Foote and Thompson are the young guys, I think it's pretty easy for Ruff to play those guys over Nosek if Nosek underperforms.Nosek has been much been than Foote.

He and Lazar are pretty similar in these regards.Nosek is a perfect 4th line player for this team. FO ability, PKer, veteran, cheap. Give him some time to adjust to a new team.
IMO he has been much better and is just a more skilled and effective hockey player from my viewings.This is all fine, I was arguing against the idea that Nosek is taking the spot of a young guy.

Now has Nosek been "much better" than Foote? I dunno, I haven't watch much of the preseason, but it seems like a stretch.
And I also very much agree that preseason is grain of salt stuff.
