NFT: Hockey? 🏒

Route 9 : 7/29/2020 5:19 am
I was told at the information desk this morning there is some hockey on tonight? I see the Rangers are playing the Islanders in Toronto on MSG. 8 PM. Is this real?

What do we think? How will all of this transpire? Your guess is as bad as mine. Don't pull something, everyone.

Sure looked like pre season game #1

This first round is going to be a mess of lousy hockey.

Staal sucks. Hajek actually looked better than him. But I have to say, all in all the defense looked pretty good. One period, but I hope that's a sign that Lindy Ruff was the reason for our defensive woes.

Kakko looked pretty good, as did Gauthier.


I take that back. I think I jinxed him. Hajek looked like shit after I posted that and made me yearn for Staal. Haha

I already hate that team. Stupid name.
In the Habs

Leafs game, I don't think the play by the Leafs was particularly sloppy - except both teams power plays struggled.

Especially Montreal who went 0 for 6 and gave up 2 short-handed goals and never in 6 tries really even got set up or threatened to score.

I thought the skill guys looked good on the Leafs, same with the Oilers and Av's for the most part.

So maybe Brett is right and early on talent will shine.

I think you'll see the fast guys, and the guys who keep their feet moving early draw a bunch of hooking and holding calls. By the real playoffs I think it'll normalize but who knows.

Dumb that the stats for this round will count as playoff stats

They were not crisp, that's for sure. Seemed like Isles were toying with them for much of the 3rd. Trotz seems like he's been coaching through Covid-caused pauses for years, that's how tight his team's checking was. Igor gave up Beauvillier's shot (sharp wrister) that he might have got other times, didn't care for Valiquette's excuse.

I think you're probably right, it was obvious in the games I saw- many players were out of shape, leading to penalties, and odd man rushes, still I was impressed with some teams (Leafs, Oilers, Lightning) with how crisp their breakouts were and how effective their transition game was.

The Kraken don't start play until the 2021-22 season.

With that post
I didn't think the Rangers played that bad  
Giants in 07 : 7/30/2020 11:16 am : link
And I think there is something to what Sam and Joe were talking about throughout the broadcast..

The Islanders are a good team to have an exhibition against. They make you work along the boards, they make you work to get into the offensive zone

I'm hoping the Rangers will find their legs as the series goes on but talent is going to have to come through. We'll need Panarin or Zibby to carry us.

I thought Kakko looked like a completely different player out there, also thought Gaultier played well and Shesterkin looked to continue where he left off

I think it'll open up a bit more in the Rangers favor vs Carolina

out for Dallas. Listed as "unfit to play" which is all the team is allowed to say out of protection for the players privacy, but the belief it's it's COVID.

No idea if symptomatic, positive, came in contact with someone positive, etc. but huge loss for the Stars if he's out long-term.

oh please tell me he didnt get a bunch of people ill. With baseball choking on their own ineptitude, we cannot have a pause in these playoffs too. Hopefully this is a precaution as Dallas is only playing for seeding the next two weeks.
Who knows

the NHL is so secretive about injury/illness in the first place, I don't expect anything from them on this.

Pastrnak missed the first week of practice because he was "unfit to play". So it doesn't necessarily mean it's a disaster.
