Man, I really like our 4th line. Fast, physical, and scoring chances. In their end!

I know it’s pre season but I’d like to see a little more from Dubois. He seems to go through the motions on a lot of shifts. I’ll reserve judgement until a good deal into the regular season though.
I haven’t even noticed PLD so good point. 4th line has been active. I think we have closed our gaps much better. Miro missed a couple of opportunities to use his body and position. He needs to be in Hershey but i am excited about him. Just want to see him grow.

PLD stuck with his man on defense in the Caps' defensive zone.
This feels more important than it should be, but here we are.

Good pressure towards the end. Fever looks like a good 2LD. He brings the body and clearly they are trying to create offense from blue line. Alexyev has looked much better tonight as well. Sandin becomes an expensive 3D. Not for now but I could see us moving him at after season.

Fever-Roy should be a good shutdown pair.
I was worried they were gonna gift that spot to Sandin (I guess they still could). But, at 3LD, they can shelter him a bit - give him some favorable starts and see if he can create offense.

I joined late, a little into the 2nd, but it feels like 42-3 seem very comfortable with each other. 6-74 looked solid too. Always nice to see new guys fit in quick.

Lapierre making plays tonight. Wingers have struggled.

For sure. Lapierre has been great tonight. I just feel like the wingers don’t fit his game and as a line it’s just a weird collection.
Outstanding setup from Wilson, good luck retrieval by Miro, and of course a nice finish from Dubois. Good to see him find a soft part on the ice to set up a shot previously on the PP.

Only got to see the last five or so scrambly minutes. Good to see the win. I'm ready for the regular season.
It’s clear who the top 4 on Dee our. And it looks much improved. Particularly impressed with Fever and think he locks down 2LD. Sandin and TVR as third pair is a luxury many teams would like to have.
Thought Alexyev played much better today and likely grabbed 7D. McIlrath didn’t do enough to take it tonight so I suspect he goes back to Hershey. I hope he clears because i like him in this organization.
