A few comments:
That is the Seth Jones I expected. Hope he stays healthy and keeps up the solid play.
Vlasic looking like a solid veteran.
Kaiser played well. He wants to stay. I reckon it is a matter of time before Kaiser and Allan play ahead of Brodie.
Beautiful goal by Bedard and his best game in a while..
Foligno shining on both PP and PK.
PP at 100 %. Amazing after the dismal effort the night previous.
And we can't take Mrazek's play for granted. He has been good since he arrived.... and made some huge saves again in this game (especially in the 1st period).

Happy to see Hawks won

Brodie not seeing the ice in the last 10 minutes of last nights game.

Hard to complain about the results so far
I'd take a 1--1 start, especially when you factor in we have played a team that is 3-0, a team with last year's Vezina winner, and last year's SC finalist.

Just checked hockey-reference. Bedard is at 35.7% at the dot through 3 games.
Not concerned yet, but something to watch.

move him to rw and put nazar on his line with turbo at lw

He can still play the center position, just not take faceoffs until he gets better at the dot.

Exactly and came within a minute or so from stealing an extra point from Jets.

Luke has taken a lot of flak around here but he has the team (for the most part) playing properly.

Agreed. Considering the fact half of the team is new, and all the adjustments that takes, along with building chemistry with one another, it's a promising start. Hopefully they can keep getting better.
