Jan Levine: NYI 4 NYR 3, OT, Rangers fall in overtime in penultimate preseason game Season opener a week away

Top line played great.

Staal was very noticeable...in a good way.

Lehteri deserves a roster spot.

VESEY and Namestnikov are invisible.

Barzal must have velcro attached to his stick. The guy never loses the puck

Took train home w/ my daughter. missed our train, so had to take Ronkonkoma line. My daughter (8) asked me "what is wrong w/ all those guys, are they drunk?", I said "yes, hunny, and they are from Ronkonkoma!"

Nothing like a bunch of 30-40 yr. olds (girls and guys) dropping the F bomb 100 times in front of a bunch of kids b4 train even leaves the station.

how has Andersson looked since that stellar first game? havent read his name much...

haha, yeah, I can't take Ranger-Islander games anymore for this reason

Vesey has been real disappointing, I thought he'd come into camp with fire to prove himself and there's just been nothing

Meh. Nothing too special. Looks better defensively than on offense

In the OT he and Chytil looked a little overwhelmed.

He got his new contract already, him and Vlad

Maybe should have been 1 year deals for both

He stinks.

Nice write up. Thanks, Vanilla Jan.
I missed the game last night, but my take on why shift Chytil to wing rather than Lias is that it makes it easier to fit Chytil into the top 6 where he most certainly belongs. Lias may end up being more, but right now his game suits the bottom 6 a little better. Not to say he can't play up in the line up, just that Chytil would fit the bottom 6 less.

So far.

Going to be interesting what the line up looks like opening night.


Think that kid Crawley has been good.

I think he can eventually develop into the next Girardi, with a little more snarl

It may be vanilla, but for those that live in Long Island and would get the reference, it’s topped with the Marvel Mix.

He has been really good in pre-season, hope he can find a spot in the lineup.
How funny was Zucc getting the stick caught in his visor and swapped sticks with the Isle in the box? Fortunate there was no injury.

I also Think that having Andersson in the Middle makes sense a bit more b/c he will be better in D zone down low. Chytil just seems like a winger, but its real early.

Kreider has been showing he deserves the big C.

Best part of that was the Isles player was trying to convince ref it wasn't a penalty and at the same time his stick was stuck in Zuuc's visor

MSG didn't play their pre-game "special effects ice show" b4 game. They did it in preseason last year. My daughter was pisssed! lol I guess they are still in process of re-doing it?

Exactly. Nothing too special, but solid defenseman

Probably the best player this preseason. Going to be interesting during the season if things don't go his way, will he fight through it or pout.

- rrentz

That is sound logic but it would be nice to see a potentially elite player stick at Center. Might have an elite winger in Kravtsov coming in anyway.

He's gonna go off like Panarin.
