It appears he stills owes 5 games.Rinaldo is suspended first 4-5 games.
Clendening is very weak on the puck. Good skater with good offensive instincts but very weak. Schenn had a very bad night. I guess I'm alone but I thought Demers was great and Goligoski was crap. Pretty sure I saw different plays than everyone else there. When OEL and Chychrun are back, I'm going to really like our D.
We had some guys who still seem a little rusty, like half a second off. Stepan is one of them. When he gets a few more games in, I think that trio of him Domi and Keller will be awesome.
I like Kempe and was impressed with his hustle. It's nothing I would actually miss though. Nice to see a guy try hard but there's no tangible result associated with it. Not substantive effort. I'd much, much, much rather see Duclair out there trying to get back on track. Or even Rinaldo who can change momentum. Kempe is good for an attaboy but it doesn't really mean anything. I'd cut him tomorrow.
I don't see the Kempe hype either. It's like he's Martinook light. Don't need him. Add Duclair, OEL and Chych and see what they can do.
Yeah the Kempe hype from the ORG is something I haven't quite figured out. Perhaps it's just media motivation for the other guys.
Strome looked pretty good that period.
Pearson embarrassed Demers on that one.
Just me or does KConn look bigger? Have really liked his game tonight.
Keller, Domi, and Perlini looked very solid offensively. Keller is going to be something else in the near future. We found a couple of gems in Keller and Domi.
Pretty dissappointed in my boy, Fischer. Maybe a rough game for him but he didnt show much in this game. Kempe looked mediocre. He plays an energy game but thats not very sustainable for a guy with his build.
Domingue gave up 4 goals but i thought he played solid overall.
