I asked myself the same thing. I hated the deal when it was signed. Hate it even more now that I zeroed in on the guy for a game.Is Trenin here for three years or four?
Ugly win.
Yep, 100%. For watching a game it isn't ideal, you can't see a good quarter of the ice (and that's when the players are not standing up). But from a pure experience it was AWESOMEIt was fun, man those guys are moving at center ice. But when the puck gets to the front of the net, you are constantly looking at the big screen straight above you. Sight lines are terrible. Ideally 8 To 10 rows up would be awesome. But if you get the chance to sit there once. DO IT! I was amazed at all the stuff they keep track of. Saw one of the guys write down National Anthem 7:03. They keep track of everything. Everything is documented.
Johansson was good, also. A lot of other players not so much.Had to catch highlights. From what I saw, Gus looked solid, Boldy was finding a lot of space to get shots off in, Trenin didn't look great, JEE is JEE and does awesome JEE stuff, our to-4 defenders were a bit rough defensively. Is that all accurate? Anything else you all noticed or found interesting?
Sat in the club level and had a really good team catching up with friends and family! Probably spent more time talking with them than actually watching the game, ha!
Couple takeaways, surprised our defense looked so shoddy. Turnovers galore and quite a bit of hesitation; hindered even more so by slow support/play.
Gus was great, happy to see him so calm in net. Hopefully he keeps it up.
Boldy is going to do something special this year.
But here’s some pictures from the game, will try uploading some video too:

Zucc with the GWG, that's good enough for me.
I also asked myself the same thing and said ‘this contract looks great rn’I asked myself the same thing. I hated the deal when it was signed. Hate it even more now that I zeroed in on the guy for a game.
If things continue, I think it’s totally fair to criticize. We’ll see!I promised i would bite my tongue, but what the hell. Fans are supposed to be irrational, right?
Bad
Middleton (capped it off with his penalty at the end of the game)
Trenin
Gaudreau on the PP
Breakaways
Good
Boldy
Johansson
JEE
Almost Good
Kap
Zucc
Meh
Everyone else
I was especially struck by how poor the 3rd line was. Hartman looked ineffectual, Foligno clumsy, Trenin...slow, with zero puck skills. Lauko also seemed to disappear against determined competition.
Same. They looked good and Johnson is fast as hell.I like Fantilli and Johnson.
It seems to me that this is just a review of a single game, and nothing more. I wouldn't say that's irrational as long as it's not projected out beyond that single game scope. I appreciate the insights, and will take them for what they are.I promised i would bite my tongue, but what the hell. Fans are supposed to be irrational, right?

Nobody on the third line is great with the puck on their stick. That’s one of those things that Rossi really contributed to the overall dynamic of that line. Hartman on the top line is the inverse. He could let Kap and Zucc handle the puck and he just needs to be ready to shoot and provide a physical presence.I was especially struck by how poor the 3rd line was.
