On good news:

Morrissey 2G and 1A thus far in his first game as a captain

That is good news, garret. Good news indeed.

 

[ATLbound]

I don't feel good at all right now, 3 of our top 4 D hurt before the season has even started. Good call on the 8 games TNSE

I know the preseason means nothing (to self: stay positive, life is good, I have my health ) but ..... ( to self: remember to be positive, negativity not allowed ) well, at least the preseason is over. There... I was positive.

Nicely done. Positively.

Geesh. 5-0

Thanks for coming out guys. They better do a full 180 starting tuesday. As a team, there is not just a switch you can hit to turn it up, thats the thing. Ya it is pre-season, but people need to realize its not a pick up, pond hockey game. You lay a stinker like this, it can carry over into next game. There is no automatic switch in hockey.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Well off to

for some team building.

 

[CorgisPer60]

I'm getting twitter updates on the game. Damn, I'm glad I had to get ready for work and stopped listening to the game.

 

[cbcwpg]

Did you know since 2004 not one team has made it in the playoffs with lower than a 25% win percentage in the pre-season

The same people that say the preseason means absolutely nothing are the same people that think their team has a chance at winning the Stanley Cup after just squeaking into the playoffs with a 10 game losing streak.

Yes the preseason "results" mean nothing, but how you actually play ( effort / heart ) IMO still mean something. Nobody finishes the preseason like we did, flips a switch, and starts the season off winning games.... nobody. But I hope they prove me wrong.

 

[Bob E]

If Buff is out for awhile, do they play a 19 year old rookie in top 4, 2nd pairing?

If not Trouba, then who? Postma?

This might get ugly quick.

Agreed 100%. Hope they can do it, but its not easy as a player/ team to flip a switch.

It most def could get ugly if that is the case, Enstrom, Bogo, Clitsome, Trouba, Stuart, Postma
Yes, that could get ugly. I don't even want to think about it if Bogo or Clitty can't go.

 

[StronGeer]

Enstrom - Bogo
Clitsome - Trouba
Stuart - Postma

If Buff remains out.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Ah ****. What happened to Buff? I stopped listening.

 

[ps241]

Ok I was at piece with getting tuned tonight but a fit a Buff going down has me depressed. If my math is correct that leaves Toby as our only healthy Top 4 D man heading into the season. That and Wheeler is hurt.

Note to a jets team building planners for Banff........add a trip to a healing lodge.

 

[ihadtochangethename]

sometimes I wish Big Show aired on Saturdays, but i guess that's what IC is for...

 

[SensibleGuy]

Jeezum crow! Couldn't we at least have 20 or 30 games before the wheels fall off? Is that so much to ask?

 

[BizZombie]

Wright- Jokinen- Wheeler
Kane-Slater-Frolik
Wright- Little- Seto
Ladd-Scheif- ?? Wright?

The key is to double shift Joker and have Wright on every line.

^This guy, he gets it.

 

[ihadtochangethename]

the rags got shut out like this last night right? no biggie

 

[Atoyot]

Did you know since 2004 not one team has made it in the playoffs with lower than a 25% win percentage in the pre-season

Boston had 1-3-1 which is a 20% win percentage in 2010.

And then they won the Stanley Cup.

EDIT: Pittsburgh was 1-4-1 in 2009

EDIT2: NYR was 1-5-0 in 2008...I'm starting to think you were making a joke for the people who were putting too much stock into these pre-season games.

EDIT3: Boston, Pittsburgh and Calgary all did it in 2007. Can't find pre-season stats prior to 2007.

Oddly enough, that does seem like Noel's plan.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Would be interested to hear some insight from anyone that attended the game tonight.
