The idiot in me wants to see Vlad and Buch together. Simply because they're Russian I guess, I dunno.

What’s wrong with that? It’s like wanting 2 hot chicks to make out even if they’re not lesbians.

[Blueshirts1926]

There's our Rangers!

 

DAH-LIN! :clap clap: DAH-LIN! :clap clap: DAH-LIN! :clap clap:

 

In a deep draft with three 1st rounds, two 2nd and 3rd round picks would never mortgage a ton to get one "prospect" who wont be ready for 2-3 years. ( He's not Gretzky, Kane, McDavid or Crosby. ) Too much at stake in the draft with all the picks they have.

[Progrocker]

Spoons with 4 assists in 2 games and Vladdy with 1 goal and 1 assist in his Rangers first. Hope It's not just the adrenaline talkin'.

I'd bet a body part that Dahlin is on the NHL roster of whoever drafts him next season. Opening night. He's not 2-3 years out. He's 2-3 weeks.

Yeah. Impressive starts for both players. Of course, this level of production won't last but it's nice to see a little skill with the puck.

[Phil]

Not for Spooner, it won't, but Namestnikov is sneaky good. I know he's established career highs in goals and points playing witch Kucherov and Stamkos, but he earned that right by rising up the Lightning's ranks.

 

Give this a read. It's about as good a primer as you can get for him as a player given it was written before he played with Stamkos and Kucherov this season: https://www.rawcharge.com/2017/7/27/16016266/top-25-under-25-4-you-dont-appreciate-vladislav-namestnikov-enough-yes-you-specifically-analytics

Lots of goals this game. I want high entertainment. I want wins. I'd even want a playoff appearance - picks be damned.

 

Ok, maybe shouldn't hope for a playoff round this season.

[Shane Falco]

I can?t remember the last time I saw hank get down on his knees like that after so many saves. Dude looked out of breath.

[-ERIK-]

Nam looking good

[Blueshirts1926]

That goal is all because of Kreider's hustle! Oh ya and someone went to the net!

[-ERIK-]

Kreider has been fantastic since his return,he was sorely missed.

[Phil]

This is exactly what I'm hoping to see. Strong offensive growth, plus losses. Latter still pending tonight.

[Blueshirts1926]

Fast has to go towards him and take him out. Shit don't let Boesser sit there all f....g day!

[Shane Falco]

Shit show

[Blueshirts1926]

What a shot! A fricking "W", Very sloppy but a win!

[Shane Falco]

Sick pass by spooner

[ThirtyONE]

Holy fuck

[Phil]

Wrong result, but damn what a fuckin' ending. Spooner is hungry for that next contract.

[Blueshirts1926]

Sick pass by spooner

 

Spooner 5 points in 2 games! The right result is a win. NO TANKING. Have not seen these guys laugh in a long time in a post game show!

[Parsley]

Wow.

I know it's only one game but I'll take Namestnikov over JT Miller any day.

[Dunny]

We have a pretty good lacrosse team.

[Ozzy]

I know it's only one game but I'll take Namestnikov over JT Miller any day.

 

Holy shit!! I love this kid!!!

 

JT Who???????????????

[Gravesy]

This.

People who knock Namestnikov's record as being propped up by playing with Stamkos and Kucherov conveniently ignore the fact he had to get past a lot of very good players to earn the privilege. He's a good player.
