Blues dominated most of the game, which they should against SJ. Fell down 4-1 and could've easily mailed it in like they would have last year. I heard some talk about things Bannister is preaching, and one of the things is resiliency. Only two games, but regardless of the score, the Blues have been resilient, which is fresh to see. So far two games into the season, PP is good, PK needs work at 67%, we're outshooting, and faceoffs are good. HEAVY caveat that it's literally two games, but hey, it's something.
Hofer looked good in the preseason, and his first start was shaky. I have no doubt he'll bounce back, but bro needs to just relax a bit. Say what you want, Broberg has looked pretty unreal compared to what we've had. His outlet passes are actually so pretty and his skating helps him out of tough spots. Neighbours helps win the game with his screen again, underrated skill. Faulk was looking really good tonight, he was moving VERY well; I thought he was a different player till I saw the number on his back. Kyrou seems a bit more poised this year? His aura just seems different. Really like Holloway. He has skill and tenacity that I haven't seen in a while. Almost Schwartz-lite but with better physicality.
