Why no Andrae? I mean, let's just stop with the Attard experiment. That dude is just NOT an NHL defenseman. Put Andrae with their best guy and see what happens. Do I have to tell these people everything? Thanks!

Yeah I really liked Andrea’s game and hope he’s with the team soon than later. A few games back he had stretches where he was holding the zone so calmly, looked like a vet

The kid better watch who he’s embarrassing over there. Maybe he should cool it against SKA?

Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself more than anyone else? I didn't see the game yesterday, but they had to go to OT to beat a team that lost the week before 37-3 at home. I didn't realize that the Deadskins scored on the last play of the game. They should have went for two and put the Eagles out of their misery. I'm surprised riverboat Ron sissied out. Also, the Eagles struggled mightily to beat the Pats while the Cowgirls absolutely dismantled them. Thanks!

Someone seems to like Attard although I really don't know why. He just doesn't look like an NHL defenseman to me. I'm hoping Andrae makes the team out of camp, but who knows.

Question, why doesn't he look like a NHL defenseman?

I haven't seen 1 minute of him playing.

Do you know what the level of competition looks like now verse when a guy like Panarin was playing and even back to ovechkin? Is the league better now, worse, different Style?
- ClaudeFather


Reasonably comparable. Fewer import players, but similar level of domestic talent.

Good up-ice. NHL caliber point shot. Struggles with defensive reads: opponents getting behind him, gaps, crossovers, plays developing from behind the net. He's improved from when he was strictly a rover but he still has work to do to get up to an NHL average defender. Still a bit raw defensively at 24.

He just looks lost on the ice to me. Just doesn't seem to think the game at the NHL level. Perhaps it's just me and then again perhaps it's not.

That was a slick tape to tape pass from MM and then one hell of a shot

I've heard good things about that MM guy... maybe he is good

Depending on where you live, on ESPN+. If you are local, it's on TV (NBCSP).

What a nice goal.

MM is nowhere near as direct and dynamic as Bedard in the way he attacks... but the way he sets the table, the forethought and planning... he knew exactly where that sequence would end up before the puck even crossed the blueline... and he made sure his stick was there... and he has the hands to finish it off.

Also real nice outlet pass by Ginning to Brink on that Sanheim chance earlier.

This is my first time watchithem and the #'s are tripping me up. York 8? Allison 17? Cates 27? Just preseason shenanigans?

How York walks the line and keeps moving is exactly why he should be on PP1
