Forgot to mention it, but, Hall left the game hurt. Definitely favouring his shoulder, which I believe (not 100% confident) was the same injury he had last year. Not what you wanna see in pre season after these guys put in so much work in the summer.
If he is out a prolonged period of time they are down to 13Fs. I'd just run with that. Hope this doesn't make them flip on sending Gaughan to Strathroy. But hopefully it's just minor & Hall isn't out long.
Super excited to see Karimov. Assuming he's playing tonight. Obviously gonna cut him some slack if he starts slow as he just got here/new country, team, language etc. But still very excited & intrigued to see where/who he plays with. Seca mentioned earlier in the week Hurt & Bodin might play, too which would be nice to get them one more rep before the season starts. I imagine Maillet starts. Might be pre season but it's a big game for him honestly. See how he responds.
