overall team game looks very good

This is my takeaway. Team play as a good cohesive unit. Special teams still look shaky but it’s preseason

 

[leeroggy]

If that’s the case, he will go down to BPT until an opportunity arises. They will sign Martin to sit in the pressbox and eat hot dogs before they let MacLean do that. Mac needs to be playing wherever he ends up.

They did this will Lee before he broke through, he was back within a month when injuries hit and never looked in.

They don't have to sign Martin

The PTO lasts until the trade deadline

Damn, Barzal might tuck 30 and Duclair may hit 30 apples for the first time in his career.

 

[duster19]

The post noise from Barzal on his goal was outstanding.

Wonder where throttle is? Just kidding brotha. Looking forward to a good year. Lgi

 

[impaaaaaact]

Through 5 meaningless periods:

Looks good: Holmstrom, Gauthier, Tsyplakov, Bolduc

Looks serviceable: Maclean, Foudy, Liukas, Maggio, Hutton

Looks Meh: Jeffries, Wahlstrom, Warren

They don't have to sign Martin

The PTO lasts until the trade deadline

Unless they want him to play in a game I think. So they can keep him around without it costing another player a spot, then add him to the roster after rosters expand

Duclair dekes around two defenders in the NZ, exactly what that Barzal line needs. Shades of Eberle, but even better!

All Duclair has ever done when placed on a top 6 line is produce. Did it with Kucherov last year, did it with Barkov in Florida and did it with Tkachuk in Ottawa. As long as he's healthy, he'll do it here with Barzal too

 

[LeapOnOver]

Agreed

I hope all 3 of my Daughters run into guys like Barzal because he can’t finish for shit lol

But he can penetrate the offensive zone on his first shift. Be careful what you wish for!

Where’s Reilly? Hasn’t played in either game

Illness.

Luckily, both Bolduc and/orCholoCop look like they can hold down the fort for a few games.

My other spicier take is that Reilly isn't promised the 3LD either and that Bolduc can grab it with a really strong camp

 

[scottywiper]

Bring back Skarek

 

[Lek]

That was some rough goaltending

Tsyplakov should be on the second line
I don’t think Warren has played in either game

 

[SI90]

Holy Horvat!!! Pure Filth!!!!!!!

 

[MarsTBOW]

LMAO Nice Goal!!!!!

 

[Lek]

Wow

 

[impaaaaaact]

LMAO wow

 

[scottywiper]

Ha ha. Horvat toyed with them

 

[SI90]

Ref f***ed up. I’ll take it lol

 

[Big L]

Should have been blown dead, but that was a sweet goal

 

[MJF]

And Tikkanen standing tall during that Rags flurry. Literally.

 

[scottywiper]

Dufour had a couple of nice looks

Rags whining pays off.
