Kasper played almost 19 mins tonight and had the 4th most ice for forwards tonight. Can't send him down

Also had Team-worst xGF% from our team. I don't really know what to think about this. Using the guy this heavy, when he is obviously struggling.

Kasper's 5-on-5 on-ice stats:

Corsi 3-26
Fenwick 1-17
Shots 1-10
Scoring chances 0-9
High-Dangers 0-3

People can say what they will but I get a different vibe defensively from this team currently. We'll see if they can actually start creating more offensive zone time, shots etc. but this is the 3rd game in a row where they actually look confident shutting things down defensively late in the game.

8th least goals allowed at 5v5. Now if we can just play Edvinsson all the time on the PK that will improve as well.

At ES they definitely do a good job of keeping teams on the outside and limiting high danger chances. I'm with you on waiting to see if the offense can come around and build on that. They get better transitioning up ice and this season gets interesting for us.

5 on 5 D wasn’t good either. When NJ had zone time we were constantly caught puck watching and leaving guys open out front. We were just lucky that the player didn’t tip/put the rebound in. This D-core is gonna kill this team. Way worse than last year even with Ed being very good

If we had Ghost instead of Holl (they make the same money) we would be a lot better...
And walman instead of Gus and Albert instead of Petry. Not good for L-R shot pairings but they would be way better

I don't know that "struggling" is a fair characterization for a guy playing his 4th NHL game against a good team, especially when it's all based on shots taken.

Indeed…For those who gripe about Chiarot - well he’s 1 of the few guys on this current roster that’ll drop the gloves in a second and come to the defense of a teammate.


It’s like a repeat of last season.

In the postgame Larkin talked about how Fischer and Chiarot "dragged them into the fight" emotionally. To be clear he meant it positively. That the team was playing without much emotion and those two guys go them fired up and involved.
