Feels like I'm constantly seeing our players dumped behind the play or in front of the net without the puck.

Also has anyone seen smiley pinto this preseason? Dude has been invisible

Outside of Stutzle, Batherson, I haven't really been impressed with any forward today.

I've confused him for Pinto a couple times because of the jersey number, does that count?
And I've thought Cousins was Joseph a few times! I've noticed Cousins a few times, particularly in the first however.

Norris better be ready to contribute. We need more offensive punch. I don't see us getting far if we don't have him healthy and ready.

I feel like Stu has been better but still not getting star #1 center vibes from him. Feel like he was a lot more electric two seasons ago.

Sure preseason and all but I'm definitely getting a bit concerned if he has another level or two. Part of it is a size and strength thing too. He has the stature of a winger.

I always say
You can tell how dumb a coach is by how early he pulls the goalie. It’s a direct relationship.

Our coach is an idiot I guess. Season over :)

Has anyone checked if he needs LASIK too?
Do you think he should have had the 2nd goal? That’s the one where the puck was deflected high into the air and with the player standing in front and screening Forsberg? Not saying Forsberg is great/good, but just wondering what some people think goalies can or should stop.

I think he has an underdeveloped game due to bring a German prospect who jumped straight into the NHL where he was immediately playing on a terrible team with a bad coach. This team also lacks speed which has always been a concern for me.

Why are Malkin and Crosby making our team look slow and old? They're 37. It's f***ing bullshit. People will say it's only pre-season, but this has been another shitty pre-season from my perpective. We have nearly our entire roster in there and they are looking meh.

They don't lack speed. They lack stamina. They lack the ability to maintain a pace of play throughout the game. It was annoying to watch honestly. If they want the playoffs, they need to make other teams pay for touching the puck.

Great point actually. That's probably why players like Sanderson and to certain extents Stutzle (minus the consistent horribly forced plays) tend to stand out from start to finish.
