GDT: PS #1 - 09/27/16 | islanders @ RANGERS | 7:00 PM - MSG

I think Clendening having played on no less than 7 teams over the last 2 seasons has to be taken into account. Gotta be tough for anyone to get situated under those conditions. Still, there's some encouraging stuff if you look through his advanced stats.

I don't know if thats accurate or not (though probably not far off) but theres been a reason for that.

Seriously, this guy is Jeremy "Jet" Morin's spirit animal.

It's accurate when you take into account both his AHL and NHL teams.

In any case, he's too young and has had too much recent AHL success for the book to already be written on him. His on-ice SCF% and GF% were very nice with Edmonton last year...and he somehow managed to pull off being a positive +/- player on that Oilers team. Only a few guys did. I really don't see anything in his stats that scares me. I'm optimistic about this guy.

 

[WesMcCauley]

I can't wait to watch hockey and drink beer at MSG again. It's been far too long!!! If we could not lose in the first round again, that would be great.

lol with the team we have, making the playoffs would be a good season.... Our defense is horrible

 

[TurgePurge*]

Looking forward to the liquid hot megna overreactions.

Quality fantasy team name right there.

Bustnevich?

 

[Nanaki]

I didn't even know that the preseason started tonight. It's been a long summer.

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

McIlrath has to show he has what it takes to be on an NHL team. With Clendening added to the mix, he has some good competition for the role on the 3rd pair

Clendening who has been with Four NHL teams already?

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

Might see a dustup in this pre-season tilt.

Isles are dressing Chimera and Boulton and Schempp.

Rangers have McIlrath, and Chris Brown. Jooris is also a gamer.

Boulton is one tough SOB. He's a super nice guy but I cant even believe he is still playing at the NHL level.

Don't forget AV's body pillow, Tanner...the "Consummate Professional" Glass.Toffness is his middle name.

Anyone know if NHL.tv is doing preseason games?

 

[cwede]

... Will wait before I get amped on the 20-93-89 line...

the early lines are interesting,
IF Vesey and Buch stick
(i have been skeptical)

but if it does tilt towards
Kreids-Zib-Buch
Vesey-Hayes-Nash

that could mean
Miller-Step-Zucc
Fast Jooris Grabner

probably Pirri, Gerbe as 13 or/and14
and Glass, Hrivik, Jensen on the waiver wire

me, I'd waive all 5 the same day, when many teams post many guys,
and be ok with whoever gets though

(I do think Jensen has gotten some attention last 6 months, could be claimed)

IMHO Jooris is more valuable, harder for NYR to replace, than a borderline winger

 

[Levitate]

Anyone know if NHL.tv is doing preseason games?

Yes they are

 

[Glennsoe]

We ended last season on a bad note, let's start this season on the right foot.

Thanks to Levitate for the heads up NHL.tv is streaming tonight's pre-season game.

For anyone curious which other pre-season games they'll show as well: https://www.nhl.com/info/nhltv-preseason-schedule

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Not much unexpected in the early cuts. Would have liked to see Zboro get a PS game or 2 however...

 

[Dagoon44]

BOULTON IS John T mentor and best friend, he is signed basically as a locker room extra coach. He is super tough. Jooris is tough lol.. What happened pres season games when

Vial
Domi
King
Debrousk
Malette
nilan
Gresh

The article got Matt Carey wrong, I think. He was not there on a PTO. He's signed to Hartford, just like Joly and Ahti.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Count me a bit surprised that Gropp wasn't sent back to Seattle. There's a lot of competition for ice time in Hartford now, especially with Kovacs and Stromwall there now.

 

[Tawnos]

I can't decide if I should just get NHL.tv tonight for just a Rangers package or wait until Center Ice actually hits. I wanna watch the Rangers, but DVRing with Center Ice is just so much easier on a lot of levels.

I'm surprised Fontaine and McRae are still around.

 

[Charlie Conway]

I'm surprised Fontaine and McRae are still around.

McRae at least has some AHL and NHL experience.

Fontaine was the real surprise to me, though I'm also wondering if they're keeping him around as a kind of orientation to make up for his missing Traverse.

 

[Fitzy]

Fontaine was the real surprise to me, though I'm also wondering if they're keeping him around as a kind of orientation to make up for his missing Traverse.

Or he's trying to be the first 6th round pick to make the team out of camp.

At the game, Glass wearing an A...
