Can we schedule the parade now? I mean they are beating the prospects for TB…. 82-0 season and a 16 game sweep incoming, right?

:)




just in case it wasn’t completely obvious, tongue firmly in cheek, insert sarcasm cliche here :)

Careful people only read the first sentence of what yas type. Gotta put disclaimers up front. These lads have their pitchforks at the ready.

Very much the preseason and very much against a B squad we should have handled but still a lot of good takeaways there.

KK doesn't look out of place on the 2nd line. Him and Svech could do some real damage together this year. Speaking of which, Svech looked more willing to get physical, hopefully that's a point of emphasis this year. Coghlan was getting an extended look at PP QB, have to figure hes very much in the running for 3rd pair RHD, if not the frontrunner.

Svech had all off season to build up his load and just wants to unleash it on opponents.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we carry 8 dmen if Chat has better followip games as preseason goes along and we are afraid of losing him to waivers
I thought he got better as the game wore on.
But Cog Man likely has first blood in the competition… assuming in all this that de Haan shows enough that he can still play and Brindy demands he get a contract so that it really is 4 guys competing for the 3 spots of 5/6/7 dmen with de Haan, Bear, Cog Man and Chatfield…
I'm still thinking Bear is trade bait for any type of reasonable return.

Tripp was very complimentary of Stromwall’s finishing ability during yesterday’s broadcast, and for his goal he simply skated into the zone and cleanly beat the goalie, which is something not a single Hurricane has done in 15 years so maybe we’ve got something here.

If he doesn’t make the opening night roster I worry he’ll be on the first plane back to Europe like some of the European d we’ve tried in the past.

I don't know that i'd call what aho did "simply" skating. Just typing this out made me laugh again thinking what he did to that poor, poor defenseman.

It may have been Aho's short side snipe that opened the door for Jarvis and Stormwall (I refuse to spell it any other way) to go far side as Legace was cheating over to close the top corner.
