Well well well.

 

[All Mighty]

Great rush by Luneau

 

[anezthes]

Nice.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Great pass and finish. Z and MM.

looked like St. Louis and Lecavalier back in the day

 

[KelVarnsen]

Z saw that stick and hit it. Luneau made that play. Nice.

 

[Static]

Luneau's skating has come such a long way.

 

[branmuffin17]

That was a great rush by Luneau. Solid control and a nice give and go before dishing it across to Z. He definitely looks bigger, he's hitting/bodying up a lot so far, he definitely looks more ready for NHL games than last year's short stint.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Great pass by Luneau, Z and touch by Mac!

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Loved the the Z to the M score. Also loved Colangelo crashing down to be a wall of distraction on the Sharks goalie.

 

[HanSolo]

I like nothing about that mentality Etem, Terry should’ve shot that puck 100%.

Hot take machine.

 

[HanSolo]

Overall I thought the team could've played better given the quality of the opponent.

Killorn looks like he's no more comfortable with this team than he was last year. Cutter's been a bit sloppy. Luneau is the most visible defenseman on the ice for better or worse (some shaky moments defensively). Leo looks faster and energized but he's been a bit sloppy too.

I think generally, everyone could stand to make better plays with the puck on their stick, save for the passing play on the goal.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Z and Leo are a head above everyone else terms of skill

 

[Mr Rogers]

"Terry is back to being the 35+ goal scorer that we all know and love" -- Etem

What in the actual F is he talking about? lmao

Killorn is 100% playing like a 30+ vet in the first preseason game. Lackluster less than practice effort.

More concerning is that so are some of the under 24’s.

It’s the first pre season game for our top guys. Let’s cut them a little slack maybe. If they look like this opening night. Maybe we really start to worry then

 

[Ducks DVM]

Liking Carlsson taking the shot instead of forcing the pass

LaCombe's looked very smooth on the ice, winning pucks, and very steady. On the PK, I dunno if Luneau what he's doing, but LaCombe's quick recognition allows LaCombe to switch sides instantaneously.

Luneau's better at carrying the puck, but that passing needs to be better in the DZone.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Great shift for that line

 

[Ducks DVM]

Too much chasing

 

[anezthes]

Boo.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Yikes. on the GA given up, the Ducks were playing like little league soccer. 3 Ducks around 1 shark in the corner is a defensive breakdown that the Sharks could easily expose if the puck gets back out quickly and it did.

Least they weren't our regulars.

Some nice plays by gauthier

I’m fine with Killorn playing like that. Also Gudas, Fowler, Vatrano, and Strome.

The kids need to be playing not coasting. None of them have proven a damned thing yet. They don’t need to be going 110%, but play like you have something to prove.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Yup. Good handles. But I wished Carlsson would have shot the puck than tried passing it through traffic to Cutter. Cutter recovered the puck and made some nice moves like Jagger.
