BUCH
based on what I've seen in first three games Etem shouldn't even make Hartford.
So are you going to run on here crying everytime he plays a game? Come on here and post if he gives the puck up "OMG I TOLD YOU,HE SO BAD!"

Has Tank Larkin seen a Rangers game that Etem was in that the rest of us haven't?

I haven't seen any, but A LOT of people have said Etem has sucked
Frankly I don't think he's even watched a game judging by his comment.
People are just waiting for this kid to suck. Confirmation bias at its finest.
My concern is we're still a vacation to play offense against, the goals pile up if an elite goalie isn't in net, and we couldn't hold a 2 goal lead if you glued it to AV's ass.
Let's not pretend this only happens in preseason.
Ugh the more I think about it the more I hate zucc with brass instead of zucc with step and kreider.
I think it's being totally hyperbolized how bad Etem has been. People are just waiting for this kid to suck. Confirmation bias at its finest.
I think there was a lot of expectation that he was going to be a guy that might end up dominating some shifts with his size and speed. I'm not sure where that expectation came from, but I in my opinion some posters are a little let down with how bad he looks.
He looks selfish. He looks lost. He looks like a guy who shouldn't be taking a top 9 spot from anybody making the team.
It's a new system for him so after getting adjusted we'll be able to really evaluate him. However for anybody who was expecting something good, it's been a disappointment. If your expectation was inconsistent floating through the line-up guy, who will chip in every now and then, play a physical game and not be the guy who dominates shifts, then there's nothing to be disappointed with.
Let's be honest this team when healthy can score at will and i think some players know that and don't try as hard in the Dzone IMO.

You should know that Zucc and Brass are close friends. They know each other very well, and this helps a lot on the ice. A great example is Zucc's goal last night, and Brass with the assist.
Should certainly not split them up, could actually make both players worse.
True the likes of Tanner Glass, Bourque, Gibbons, Hrivik, Tambellini, Bellemore, Hughes, and Jeff Malcolm are all supposed to be the elite offense/defense that we all want.
It should also be done without Stepan, Stalberg, Klein, even McIlrath, Staal, Girardi, Moore, Kreider, and Miller.
Never mind the fact that Zucc, Brassard, Nash, McD, Boyle were in their first preseason games I could continue, but yea come on dude.
and the reason I included Stalberg in that list is because hes better then at least someone on that list
Who was missing from the lineup game 3 vs Tampa, or when we collapsed in every game in LA in the SCF? Was preseason the excuse in those games?
my comment was Etem has sucked so far. please refute.
no... but you are also talking about the 2014-2015 season and the 2013-2014 season lets have at least one or two full squad games before we start to talk about them being a vacation to play against. cause if you are going to go back to 2013-2014 season we can include their offense being terrible
