Marc Denis mentionned coaches don't focus on special teams early in pre-season, it comes after. We are defending way better than last year 5 on 5, I think the focus is right there.
Matheson said in an interview on French radio that the team has spoken about the defensive scheme, leading us to believe they're also not crazy about the man-to-man defense. And so far after 2 preseason games, it looks like MSL listened to his players and possibly his coaches who believe a zone defense is more effective.
Caufield and Suzuki were just testing some weird shit tonight.
A lot of people want CC to be bumper, but the bumper has puck retrieval duties and CC is not that guy. If they're bent on having Laine of the first PP, idk what they will do with Caufield.
Newhook was real good in the bumper position last season. But if there are two waves, Newhook is one one, someone else needs to be on the other.
