Clague finishes on 4-on-4. Komarov on the rush to Rousek who finds Clague alone filling the slot.

Nice start - 16-2 shots and 2-0 lead after 1.

 

[Chainshot]

Wahlberg just missed early in the second.

 

[Chainshot]

Ah crap, 2-1 as Willman scores 5:21 into the 2nd period on their 4th shot.

 

[Chainshot]

Neuchev pursues through the neutral zone, steals the puck and springs Rosen who finishes on a wrap-around. 3-1.

 

[Chainshot]

Jobst goes with Colton White. I'm surprised and impressed.

 

[Chainshot]

Helenius just walked Daws but they couldn't finish it off on a 2-on-1. This kid still doesn't have the pace of play but you can see it.

Neuchev on the other hand is just rolling along like he did to end last season. Work, work, work, create, create, create.

Novikov scored at the same time as Tuch, also into an empty net.

Rosen 1st star, Houser 2nd, Neuchev snubbed for Willman as 3rd star.

Held his own

Held his own

He's five inches shorter than the guy he went with and still stood in there.

Jax has their opener on Saturday after dropping both of their pre-season games to Savannah over the weekend. I'm curious to see how they do with Luukko having moved on from the HC position, going up to WBS in the AHL.

So tldr on 2 games....

Russians good, 1-1-0?

Neuchev has been one of their best skaters, full stop. Komarov is still settling in, Novikov has taken a lot of penalties (2 per game IIRC). Helenius is still getting up to speed but the talent is there.

The forced reconciliation of the Chicago Wolves and Carolina Hurricanes isn't working, but they have no other choices

Some thoughts on the statements that came out of Chicago this weekend.

That is a really interesting look at the Wolves-Canes drama.

No sightings of the pre-season monster?

Ö

He's been okay. Preseason he was on the wing and he's been back at center since.
