Spooner is such a unique player for me watching. Because the whole time I think, God I hate him, he's such a drag out there. And then he scores. He's like a 50 point Pirri.
Glad I'm not the only one who is not feelin Vesey. His hockey IQ is non-existent. You can't fix that.

I was also going to mirror what was said in the OP. I looked at a roster it's a combo of solid to good vets and promising prospects. Honestly, this isn't the 00-01 Rangers where we had a few great but aging players and ****. We'll lose more than we win but I think we'll be fun to watch.
Better than Namestnikov, that doesn't do anything on the ice and can't score.Spooner is such a unique player for me watching. Because the whole time I think, God I hate him, he's such a drag out there. And then he scores. He's like a 50 point Pirri.
No, we are better with it in the long run. He’ll give us losses. We don’t need a goalie winning meaningless games.I don't like it, but it needs to be said. If this is what Hank is going to give, we are better off without it. The goals he gives up are below average attempts, the times he gives them up are momentum destroyers, and he has a terrible habit of letting us get in a hole early and we never recover. Best player to ever put on a Rangers sweater. Lately he seems to chip away at that legacy every time he puts on the mask.
I've been reading stuff here over the summer.
I only saw the 3rd period.
Mike14 in the game thread kind of gave me the recap I needed at this point.
"Like against the Devils, we got a lot better as the game went on.
ADA was good again, and Smith looked more like the guy we got at the deadline.
Would have liked to have seen more from Howden. Hajek looked really good once he settled into the speed of the game.
Spooner was looking ok until he went off
Tokarski was good "
Chytil's goal at the end of a long shift when it didn't even look like he had any gas in the tank was fantastic.
I 'm going to be happy if Smith is good again. Not that he is the key to the defense, but more like everybody matters. Can't afford another sabbatical from the vets.
When I started watching, it was already 5-4 Flyers, so I wasn't sure about Tokarski. He always looked like a decent goalie, so in preaseason, no big deal in an uneven game.
Thank you Sir, that puts things in context.FWIW, Tokarski only let in the 6th goal. The rest were Hanks.
Tonight's revelation was ADA is a better defender with no stick
