if Johnson had better wings...I think he would look better... that and him getting pushed around.
Yeah, no prospect is really impressing here except maybe Jarry and McKegg. I think McKegg will win a spot at 4C. The other options aren't as good
poo poo bad play, if you can't make that play in NHL you are done
That wasn't on Pouliot, that was on his winger for not catching that pass.
I swear, people just single out Pouliot for any mistake they can find. We get it, you don't like him and he's not that good
no not at all I zeroed on him cause I want badly to find some good in him. That was an easy play, he waited too long to make a play, he could have skated out with the puck instead of waited on forechecker to close on him
Out of all the non NHL defenders, Summers is the only one that really stood out as anything.
Am I watching a different game than everyone else? I've actually been happy with Pouliot's game today. Are people saying he's horrendous based solely on that 1 missed pass and his hooking penalty?
Like Sprong there just had a worse turnover than any turnover Pouliot might have had today and Sprong has had multiple of them. I think I've seen 1 poster criticize him for that.
He got the pass from Ruhwedel and was under siege from the very second he got the puck. That certainly wasn't an easy play and he didn't have time to "wait too long".
It's hard to compare a F to a D, but I have thought Sprong has been a lot worse than Pouliot tonight, yet I've seen 1 person comment on Sprong's turnovers.
I liked Bengtsson a lot too, personally.
yes...and he made the only play he had,,,,,,sometimes the other players need to step it up.He got the pass from Ruhwedel and was under siege from the very second he got the puck. That certainly wasn't an easy play and he didn't have time to "wait too long".

Is there a free preview tonight or something? I am able to watch all of the preseason games in the NHL app tonight.Just realized this game is on NHL.tv
He has also been out of position on about 3 plays where the Red Wings got a grade A chance.
Ahhh I included Bengs as an NHLer. I should have said that. He's not NHL ready this year, but he's so damn close. I REALLY like this game.
probably, I just started 5 minutes ago and he's been awful, did you just see that last play, I really think what I thought all along that this kid lost any confidence in himself, how else to explain this last play, he just froze...
I have not noticed any sort of rushes that happened because he was out of position. Potential 2 on 1s that get broken up in the neutral zone don't count as scoring chances.
Yeah I definitely agree. I don't know if he'll be NHL ready this year, but I do think he'll be there next year. Dude reminds me a lot of Dumoulin.
How can you say he has looked horrible tonight when you've been watching for 5 minutes?
Great shift by McKegg and gang. Sprong is really engaged in the corners. Looks like he's working on that.
