Shep looked tentative in his time in net. Thought he could be an NHL backup, but he just hasn't transitioned well from AHL to NHL level shooters.

To me that Miro goal highlighted how Ovi hasn't been given anywhere near that time and space on the PP in basically decades..

Maybe Milano. Maybe. See how this goes. I don't think Berard was lying when he said how special he thinks Cristall is.
Jake not making a case for himself so far.

Yeah, he's been underwhelming. I'm trying to making excuses for him in my head, and the best I have (besides the obvious that this is a single game) is that he's at a disadvantage because his center (Lapierre) is not desperate to make an impression today.

Mateiko and Allen have done well so far too. TVR having a bit off an off night, but certainly also in the no need to stand out group.

I mean, it's basically the Flyers vs the Bears. (Because it's not like Milano or TVR has done anything useful.)

Flyers put majority NHL players in their lineup, while the Caps put majority of AHL players.

Postgame thoughts:
1) was very nice to be back in Cap One, super excited for the season
2) Cristall looked great. He just has the sauce offensively in a way I haven't seen from one of our forward prospects in a while, his skating looks improved and while no one will mistake him for a straight-line burner he looked quick and agile enough. Deserves another game or two at least hopefully with actual NHL linemates
3) Miro picked up where he left off last year.
4) Frank and Vrana are AHLers
5) Lappy didn't look great but I'd like to see him with a winger pairing that makes a bit more sense
6) Rybysnki has passed Sutter on the 4th liner depth chart
7) Mateiko looks like he could be a Protas-like big bodied 3rd liner in a couple of years
8) Allen can skate but not much else
9) none of Bear, AA, or TVR inspired any confidence
10) Shepard is not an NHL level player
