GDT: Game #2: Utah @ Long Island - 5:30pm MDT - Utah16, AntennaTV

Flyers and Canadiens are actually both younger than Utah as well this season, at least according to this: Elite Prospects - Team Comparison in NHL

I usually use Left Wing Lock for the biometrics, and was going reply with their take, but just realized they are missing 5 of the teams including the Flyers. They do show UHC as younger than MTL (just barely).

After blasting Maccelli's previous 3 games (opener + 2 preseason), I feel a need to say I think he was much better last night.

I did get a kick out of the fact that Tourigny started him on the 4th line last night. It seemed to get his attention.

They cleaned up the odd-man breaks a bit.

On defense, really liked Sergachev (both offensively and defensively), Kolyachonok played well, Kesselring played well but would be absolutely amazing if he could just take that next step to finish his chances.

Really like Cooley and Guenther's defensive play (no need to bring up the offense). They both are great on the forecheck, likewise with Schmaltz who has been playing well too.

Ingram pushed the game into a win this time.

Oh also, Matt McConnell has been great. Like Dominic Moore's analyst work too, just prefer it much more so to how Nash did the role. Only together a few games (preseason however many, which I didn't watch) and they appear seamless already.

I don't know her name yet, but the third voice for sideline type reporting seems like she's new and still getting her bearings. Their production team probably plays a part in her seeming a little unpolished; on the Utah broadcast they didn't cut away the sound on one of her pieces as she trailed off, still with the microphone on with "I have no idea..."
