#NYC #NYI #isles Tonight is preseason game five. Clearly New York has had skating issues in all four games played with a right side of the defense that frankly makes too many turnovers. DeAngelo, Mayfield, are turnover machines. Boqvist was unplayable last year for Roy.

#NYC #NYI #isles The common thread from the four games is the Flyers, Devils x2 regardless who dressed regulars, then backups, and Knicks hockey (besides third period with awful goalie) dominated play. That's a problem that goes beyond preseason.

#NYC #NYI #isles Schaefer will beat out George who had not been used on right side which he said he would play.

Perhaps I should have done a better job researching Jonathan Drouin, and his lack of speed. Too many of the same players lumbering around or have injury issues. Now we know why Drouin got only one million. You look around and see the lack of speed/skill, watch these preseason games, and it looks like a big problem combined to use DeAngelo as a first line defender.
