Man, Brind'Amour is such a good advertisement for exercise and clean living. He's looked pretty much exactly the same since he retired like 20 years ago.

Outplayed them the whole 1st but haven't been able to convert yet. One mistake from Hagel ends up in the.net, sigh
Yeah, but I mean, keeping in mind it's game 1, the signs of good D structure are there. Everybody looks pretty calm all the time. Hagel's not gonna make that mistake in game 60. Other guys might, but not him.

Ya know, the whole breakaway issue we had last year might not actually be a defensive issue, it might be an offensive one. For whatever reason the D keep getting caught deep.

Struggles with zone entries is an issue we will keep having.

And I don't like how we're playing right now.

They only got that break cause Point held onto the puck for a year then flung it into a shinpad which sent it out.

Thank God we traded for McD or it would be 2-0 or worse. He's added the stability to the 2D line we needed. I loved Serge but it was time for a change. Lilleburg/Raddysh isn't working however, that's as suspect as it gets.

Chaffee looks faster than last year. Maybe he can play up on the 3rd line at points. Still a better option on the 3rd line.

Idk why Hagel didn't clear that puck. Still feel that's a dumb icing call when Carolina waves their stick at the puck, that shouldn't be icing if the defending team attempts to play it in close proximity to the end line IMHO

Sheesh.

Not Hagel's best period.
Yeah, he went stale and moldy.

Super super early but we've seen 2 things we thought we'd see. The potential to be a much better defensive team, and 2, a question of who can add offense outside of the top line.

Really though, most of our best chances came from other lines.

I think it just took Carolina 15 minutes to wake up. Probably gonna be a slugfest the rest of the way.
