Still looked like he knew where to go with the play but struggled to make it happen, which is why I leaned rust.

There were a couple chances their goalie got straight up lucky too. But yeah, didn't really generate much. It's interesting to watch these guys. One thing that stood out to me with this squad was just how poor the shot choices were by most of them.
I'd use that as an excuse but the other team dealt with it too.

I had Casey ahead of Nemec in my final 2022 rankings, and tonight did nothing to dissuade me of that opinion. That's not a knock on Nemec, but Casey is going to be a special player IMO.
Kid really played great in both ends. Responsbile, physical game. Great neutral zone gaps, some excellent head man passes and plays from the point.
Whenever he was on the ice I felt comfortable nothing bad was gonna happen.

The other team was icing more than like 3-4 regulars. Talent can sometimes overcome stuff like that. They also had two less penalties.

Yeah I can see that. Once he gets back to speed in a few games (as most guys will) he'll be fine. It happens. He's a very cerebral and calm player.

A Montreal regular is an AHLer on a lot of teams.
I'm not worried about this or anything. Well, maybe mildly concerned there might be an illness going through the room.

I still lean Nemec overall, but man do I love Casey. We're so lucky to have those 2 guys, from the same draft nonetheless. Future is bright!
As to the Comets players, how many times in the last 2 seasons have I posted they can't score, miss the net, flub soft shots on net, are slow, very poor shot selection, and all this with s**t centers. Last night all I read was how bad Schmelzer was. How many would guess he was THE TEAM'S TOP POINT GETTER?

It's too soon for this shit.
It's right on brand. MacDermid will be in the top 6 before you know it.

2nd goal was classic Ruff hockey and would've called for tons of "trade daws, terrible goalie" rants if it were regular season.

He made a number of great saves. That goal wasn’t on him. It was on the defenders and primarily Nemec there

Habs fan coming in peace.... don't get tooo down on yourselves about this anemic massacre tonight!
The silver lining is, 76% of teams post WWII who start the pre-season 0-2 end up making the SC final! *

Uh, we are not down. Our 4th line forwards were the only NHL forwards we iced lol. And 2, maybe 3 NHL Dmen as a result of injuries.
You get a pass because of your picture.

My feeling on this one is the same as after the first game. Given what happened last season, I could not care less about the preseason results this year if you paid me. The preseason is beyond meaningless.
