GDT: Game #1: Chicago vs Utah HC - 8:00pm MDT - ESPN, ESPN+ - Are you Yeti for some hockey??

You hated that trade? Did you want to keep OEL's contract over an early first round pick while we were beginning the rebuild?

I really like Garland. Still do.

I thought Hayton was our second best player tonight. I know it's only the first game but after the first period Utah was dog shit. Chicago made adjustments and we didn't.

Jakey? Hayton ? wtf?

I had my doubts about Hayton, but, he looked good last night. Hopefully, his injury issues are behind him and he becomes a leader on this team.

Hayton either looks good, or he's in a long slump it seems. Hopefully he has a steady season this time which he should, given the linemates he was gifted.

Hayton looks cursed to me more often than he looks "bad". I like the way he plays when he's not on his butt. His efforts just rarely seem to be rewarded.

Last season the Yotes scored plenty of goals where Hayton was screening the goalie and got no points. That doesn't fit as "cursed" but also not quite "rewarded".

Agreed.

He's the guy that helps his linemates out quite a bit but doesn't actually show up on the score sheet enough. At least that's my unprofessional take.

Such an awesome vibe going on. I’m a recent Utah transplant and Kings fan but this team is really making think of changing teams after 33 years of being a Kings fan.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Rather upset because Doan was invisible. Anyone else feel the same about Doan?

Don't you know that Doans only play well in Arizona? His dad wasn't exactly a scoring machine in Winnipeg...

The Utah Hockey Club didn't disappoint on or off the ice with a big party and a win in its inaugural game in the National Hockey League.

IF Hayton is going to be our second best players on most nights it's going to be a LONG season.
