Camp Set

[drwpreds]

Only going by stats so can't completely judge, but Hutton with a .250 save percentage midway through the third.....

Thus far not such a great debut for the newbs Jackman & Hodgson and their combined -5.

But more frightening might be this new pairing of Jackman & Jones, combining for a very sad -7. Ouch.

Be swell if there were a few more WEEKS of pre-season games

Hodgson was very pedestrian.

Didn't really notice Jarnkrok tonight. Hodgson was meh, Bitetto was ok.
Jones still has trouble with the puck. Ribs not looking like a 1C.
But Seabass got in a fight, so we got that going for us.

Guess I'm still grumpy for being packed like a sardine into a new lower bowl seat. Definitely not for those 6'-0" and over. So take my review with a grain of salt.

 

[token grinder]

I think the takeaways tonight are Hutton is terribad, Bitetto isn't NL ready, Bass did good blocking punches with his face and we still have major questions on who get s PT between Watson, Moses and Arviddson.


And Hutton was bad.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Do you guys think Moses gets the 3rd line RW spot?

Despite not producing in the pre-season i honestly think Moses is better than Hodgson at the moment especially after he gets some more NHL hockey experience.

CoHo is expected to play 3rd line center so he won't be taking Moses' job away. Arvidsson is the front runner to take the job from Moses. If Watson finally steps up then he might challenge for the position, but it's not expected.

I can concur on this. New seats are really nice, but the leg room still sucks for long legged people in the lower bowl anywhere above row MM.

Sounds about right

 

[Marty Party]

I thought the new seats were closers together, front to back, last summer during the open house. Looks like that wasn't just my imagination.

And last night's game was pretty disjointed for the good guys. Watson's goal was the only thing you'd want to remember.

That Jackman\Jones pairing was a mess all night long. Jackman looks about as mobile as Scott Hannan.

Jackman wasn't nearly as bad as Seth 'there's a grenade on my stick' Jones. I'll also give Jackman a pass since it was his first game with the team. And he has been injured.

I'm a little concerned our third line is going to be just as stinky as last year, but it's too early to say for sure.

 

[Adz]

Honestly, Hutton wasn't even stopping them in the preskate and Logan said when they played that little game where they get in close and shoot on the goalie the very first one went in. Hopefully it just wasn't his night--he looked better in the previous game I saw (wasn't there last Wednesday so it was in the double header, I guess). But...yikes.

Gotta say, I am definitely NOT in game shape yet. I'm going to have to step up my walking regimen.

 

[WartracePred]

FWIW - Lavy said the Jones-Jackman paring has some issues that were systems based. Sounded like he wasn't too concerned. I don't think anyone should expect much from CoHo or Jackman at this point since they've missed some or most of camp.

 

[NSH615]

Here we go! Moses cut!

 

[Enoch]

I'll be dissappointed if devane or bass is on this roster to be quite honest. I hope they prove me wrong if it is the case.

Shouldn't have to worry about one of them.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Shocked Sissons over Watson though.

I agree, and it's my hope that Jones gets the veteran steadying presence from Jackman that he hasn't had. I get called out for being a Jones "hater" on this board, and I'm definitely not...I just a) don't think he'll ever be as good as some expect him to be and b)think that he has to be in a position to succeed, and that will likely always mean playing with someone that can cover him and let him wheel.

I'm pleasantly shocked that Moses didn't get a spot over Arvidsson just because of his contract. With Bitetto still in camp, I wonder if he and Bartley are fighting for that #7 job.

Waiver eligibility. Watson has to clear, Sissons doesn't. I also think they feel Watson has "earned it" a little more.

 

[Byrddog]

Kinda surprised` Moses was sent down. Since he has a 1 way contract according to OTF, could be the way they want to ease him into the league. There are others that have done less in camp. If they had given up on him I guess he would be on waivers. Hoped he could come in and make a splash. The more I look at the forwards the less I like what I see. Arvidsson deserves a chance I have said that all summer but when the puck drops I hope he does not disappear off the scoresheet. Not gonna bust on CoHo yet but hes got to step up. As to Devane or Bass I still think one of them makes the roster and Devane would be my choice of the two. As was pointed out by someone else this team is too soft and not talented enough to overcome that.

 

[triggrman]

Devane, Bass and Bitetto are the next 3 to go, once again we're at 22.

If Devane is on the roster, playing, whos spot is he taking?

 

[Privy]

I've read that Moses is waiver exempt and if that is the case then we could see him back. He says the difference between the big ice and small ice isn't a big deal, but maybe he needs some time to adjust. Hopefully he finds his game in MIL and can transition over.

 

[BonMorrison]

Does this mean Arvidsson gets the 3RW spot?
