He wont be a #1 guy for us, maybe temporarily as a fill in, but agreed that he and tanev have been solid. OEL, the way he is playing so far, is great value at 3.5m aav.

Missed the last two periods, but it was worth it!
He makes you appreciate just how bad our defencemen have been over the last decade (or longer),
Where??? Apparently tonight is another good potential night to see the Aurora. I was going to drive out to the countryside after the game but forgot lol
Yeah man, that was crazy last night. I've never seen the Northern Lights before, but did last night and the kids absolutely loved it.
Obviously we used the opportunity to talk some bullshit about Santa being involved. Haha

Yeah, Woll is probably the best of the three right now, of course he has to stay healthy.
Who knows? Maybe it is a tweak and the team is being very cautious. He played the last pre-season game and practiced the day before the opener. Maybe the decisions as made to take a week and get him to 100% and not 95% to start the year? It's a tad concerning that he is not 100, but let's see and maybe we forget about this by mid-November.
Our goaltending is solid and the depth there is a strength. Murray will play games this year too. It's nice not to be terrified of an injury because we believe in the next guy too.
Not many teams can say that.

wow.
I was playing Tennis (missed the last 2 as well).
LOL.
Before we go all in on Berube > Keefe, I'm going to need to see he makes some PP changes.
Running the same crap fest isn't working.
There is zero hustle on the Leaf's power play. OEL > Rielly on PP1. It must be tried.

Indeed. Considering how many people lost their minds after losing to MTL, I can't even imagine.
He has a calmness about him that is most impressive. Looks like a veteran goalie.
I can live with his lack of speed, but his lack of balls is incredibly frustrating.
That penalty late in the 3rd was a major WTF moment. Berube should give him a smack and tell him if it happens again, he gets benched. Simply unacceptable.

In fairness, Tanev is probably the best shut down defenders in the league.

On the PP, When is the last time we saw a zone entry this clean?
One drop back from Rielly to Mitch, Mitch attacks the middle of the ice with tons of speed, backs off the defenders and makes a easy pass over to Kadri who has tons of room to collect the pass.

looking at some comments, I don't agree with this notion that "The point totals for core 3 should be lowered, or that even if they have X points it's fine"
Berube plays a different system, sure but guys have produced in it on St.Louis and our guys have to produce in it now. O'rielly, Tarasenko, Perron were ~75 point players in the cup year, and guys like Tarasenko, Kyrou, Buchnevich, Thomas were over a ppg in 21-22 and I'd again argue our big 3 are better than the counterparts on St louis. It wouldn't be a stretch to say our counter parts are much better offensively, so we should still expect them to produce as such.
It's nice we are winning games because of depth and goaltending, but the big guys still need to be big guys, it's only been 2 games so I'm not really worried about their production, but my expectations are still ppg+ for nylander and 95+ for Matthews and Marner at a minimum.

Be careful, the Aurora can be pretty fickle. We drove out to the country too early and saw very little but the cameras do pick it up. By the time we got home we looked up from the middle of the city and saw it very clearly with the naked eye and then 20 minutes later it was gone (cameras still worked). Tonight is not expected to be as good as last night. There are many sites and apps that track it. Here are some sites:

It's really nice to watch games without Samsonov and Brodie on the ice.

It's early but the slow start by Matthews, Marner and Nylander is less than ideal. Depth is great so maybe less top end production will work out. The PP cannot be horrific for the money and talent though. We dont get many PPs already so they have to be dangerous.
I hope they adjust.

OEL needs to replace Rielly.
At a minimum.
I’m getting excited for this season. I think we win the division. The goaltending alone should pick us up another 10
Points from last year.
Might even save Shannys job.
