It feels like we have so many young players banging on the door to get in the lineup. Some will obviously make the opening night roster (Hutson), but a bunch will have legitimate arguments.

Some of these vets really need to watch their backs...
But tonight, they are playing against an AHL caliber team.

But tonight, they are playing against an AHL caliber team.

Definitely and it's only game 1.

But unlike years before, the young players feel like they could actually do the job.

Players like Anderson, Dvorak, Gallagher and Armia will have the benefit of the doubt to start. But I don't think HuGo will be super patient to make something happen.

They want to compete. If you can't keep up then...might be time to learn some Chinese.

So far what i am seeing:

Laine looking rusty but still skating and trying. I think we will enjoy his offense once he gets his legs under him

Forecheck...habs forecheck is looking better than a few years ago. Night and day i would say

Lane hutson...i was hoping to see him in laval. Not sure thats happening.
