It's preseason hockey. Weird, weird things happen.If we don't crush the Pens tonight there is going to be a lot of panic around here.

Byram definitely has a swagger about him...which I can imagine is good for that room. I have high hopes that he'll be outstanding under Lindy. Perhaps he can be the Campbell of this group.
His comments were also pretty damning on Granato's system and lack of leadership imo. I really hope this is a good marriage of coach and player. If we can get Byram to hit his potential, we should be a very solid top 4 no matter how you slice it.
Sounds good, our defense looks potentially very solid.Have heard from an A1 source that the coaching staff thinks Byram has been their best player since camp started. They’re super impressed

Lindy had a tendency of bringing out the best in defensemen like him, no? Thinking Campbell, Myers, and Im sure there are others from different teams he's coached.Ruff has complimented him frequently so it lines up with his public takes. That could be huge.
Great. Now I want steak* for dinner.Have heard from an A1 source that the coaching staff thinks Byram has been their best player since camp started. They’re super impressed
I feel like he would also like Byram's preparation. He noted in the video above that he learned in Colorado how to be a good pro and keep your body prepared. If he took lessons from MacK on preparation and discipline then he is probably ahead of the others when it comes to conditioning. We have all heard the stories about how MacKinnon is super stringent on preparation, conditioning, and diet.Lindy had a tendency of bringing out the best in defensemen like him, no?

*A1 steak sauce is popular here in the States for those of you outside North America.
Mmm... A1 on french fries is YUMM!! I put it on hamburgers sometimes but never on actual steak.I use a lot of A1 but for everything but steaks.

Id even go and say Clifton will be much better as well. A Sami/Clifton shutdown d pair would be a great revelation.Lindy had a tendency of bringing out the best in defensemen like him, no? Thinking Campbell, Myers, and Im sure there are others from different teams he's coached.
and if not we have some good depth options now in Johnson/Gilbert/BrysonId even go and say Clifton will be much better as well. A Sami/Clifton shutdown d pair would be a great revelation.
I have a lot of faith in Bo. I watched him in the WHL conference finals in his draft year and he was the best player on the ice. Controlling the play of the game as a draft eligible d-man is quite impressive.It shocked me how fast people seemed to want to write Bo off. He is so young and has shown top-end skill already. Plus he is a cup champion.
We have good depth throughout for the first time in awhile. I wouldn't mind another vet F who is fine to sit in the box. At the same time I think Rousek would be a good 14th who could rotate in every 5 or 10 games when healthy.and if not we have some good depth options now in Johnson/Gilbert/Bryson
Probably won't know until after the scrimmage tomorrow morning as the team playing will have a practice after the scrimmage.any line-ups posted for Monday?
Fortunately 30-40% of those who worked downtown five years ago no longer do.5:00pm start? is that correct? If so, I'm expecting a traffic nightmare
so, they're going to scrimmage in the morning? and play a game at night? Could be some tired legs out thereProbably won't know until after the scrimmage tomorrow morning as the team playing will have a practice after the scrimmage.
If I had to guess though (for fun).
