Show should call up the whole team for tomorrow ...
Finn did look quite bad tonight.
Perhaps Finn should get a stint in the ECHL to help out with his confidence? Remember AMac was sent down early on in his career and it worked well for him.
Not gonna lie. When I first saw this team put together I was hoping NOT to get last place but theres more talent here than I thought. I reminds me of the 08-09 team, which if I recall correctly, worked out pretty nicely.
I think I've been saying it for a while now, Devil fans had great things to say about Whitney and once Beck went through I was like whoa, we got some potential here for 3 guys getting over 65 points if you add Quine.
I just finished watching the game. This team is really improved from last year. The offense is hugely upgraded and the defense seems to be developing well.
Mayfield just physically dominates along the boards and in front of the net. If he can just clean up his passing a bit he has a bright future.
Petrov played on the second line with Quine. He looked good but wasn't outstanding or anything. He seems like he's still getting adjusted. He looked good on the powerplay though, very comfortable with the puck.
Czuczman is just way too offensively aggressive for my liking. Carkner looks his age.
BPT has a line who are all 6'4'' and taller. Wright-Florek-Vaive. Crazy big.
I thought Finn played well. Very solid in his own end and skated well. Didn't people say his skating wasn't very good? I didn't see that. One game though.
Gibson looked very solid. Good rebound control and he was challenging the shooter well.
One negative is that BPT wasn't very disciplined. Lots of bad penalties. Overall though this team is much better than last year and should be fun to follow.
The difference from last year is not having to count on ECHL caliber players such as Langkow and Scooter Vaughan. As exciting as he was to watch fight, this team is a lot better off without Gallant. There's more of a balance of grit with this club, more willing combatants. There are currently no rookies on the back end. Last season you had Reinhart, Pulock, Pelech, Graham and Czuchman, which explained a lot of the struggles.
iEnd of 1st period:
BPT up 1 - 0
Shots 9 - 8
Czuczman goal on the PP, assist from Pulock and Whitney.

Charlie, are you watching?
Yeah, I'm on a delay though. AHL streaming is a little wonky.
I would get AHL Live or the junior package but don't have the time to watch all night.
