I disagree. I thought he was the best forward for the B's. Won puck battles, many good passes, looked right at home. He did take a big hit but didn't miss a shift.
If he was just a no-name player on a tryout I would have expected him to be on the first list of cuts, possibly send to Providence strictly based on his size, or possibly just plain released. That's how bad he looked throughout the game.
Kreider. Would have been a good Bruin.
Kastelic did some good things. Threw a heavy hit in the corner and then beat somebody up. Led the team with 5 shot attempts (3 on net). Scored a goal on a tip in front. Won 67% of his draws and was +1.
my first real look at Kastelic, liked what I saw, tried my best to isolate on him as much as I could with the feed I had, didn`t look lost defensively but offensively was where I was most impressed, he intuitively goes to and plants his ass right in front of the goalie which I loved, good tilt too, brought some nice physicality
John Grahame?
It would be nice if Poitras could work out as Pasta's winger, it would increase the scoring balance throughout the lineup.
The NY pbp guy then ruined my compliment by saying Duran is from “Woburn”, when we all know it’s “Woobin”.
I personally enjoy the preseason. Try to watch as many games as I can.
I went to one. It was against Columbus and we got $5 seats to the all you can eat section.
The team as a whole has played about 4-5 real players, and 1 d pair who will be here in October
Poitras is looking stronger , more confident than last year. Once he shakes off the rust he will be even better. Looks like a lock to me.
Well we did have a top 5 unit on the ice and they were not good, but like I said, it's preseason and it means nothing.
