Well - that was fun! A few random thoughts:
Arquette and MacNeil both looked good. I thought both looked more controlled and confident than in their brief callups last year. Both tried to do more with the puck and had some success. Arquette has a ton of skill and could become a really valuable support player.
Dirracolo seems to be a late bloomer. Look for him to log a lot of minutes.
PP2 of Lam, Headrick, Labrash, Ando and Dirracolo is basically wasting Lam's talents. I get it that preseason is the time to try stuff.
If Botts is going to play on Lam's line, he needs to do a better job of turning passes into scoring opportunities. Too many passes received in good locations that were bobbled and turned into nothing quickly.
I thought Labrash looked...decent? Hit a post, got some time on the PK. Needs to adjust to the play speed, though. For a guy picked up in the U18, there is something to work with.
Pug is doing everything he can to earn a spot. If Swick is auditioning for contenders, tonight was some good tape. He abused that young defenceman on his goal, and could have had a couple more.
Schneider and Bilecki weren't terrible, and both had some good plays, but that can't be a pairing to start the season (and likely won't be).
All in all, I was pleasantly surprised. I suspect Erie had more talent sitting in the stands, but KIT carried the play most of the game.
