I kind of wonder with Samo if he's just a guy the team needs to patient with. IMO he shows he has offensive ability. Just lacking that last touch to convert those shots to goals. Sort of like Tippett here, and then he blossoms with the Flyers.

I don't know how much of it is the injury + the injury keeping him out of preseason, because he honestly looks slower to me than he did last year.

Its funny how the sportsnet guys had more belief in Knight making that save than our own. Goldy was sure that dude whiffed on it lol

Even Jovo didn't think so at the end, I think Scripps just isn't great at the TV production stuff like that yet. The replays they showed were not as good as the one shown by SN.

I like the Scripps broadcast a lot for being more humble, not flooding my screen with crap, etc., but the video feed quality isn't the best.

I honestly think Jesper has been good overall. He is good offensively for a bottom 6er (more noticeable than Samoskevich), and fair on defense.

He'll do nicely next to Loustar and Lundell when everyone is healthy unless PoMo decides to keep Reino there.

I wouldnt be against it, but then we have a line 1 RW problem

I like what I've seen from Boqvist (F) quite a bit. I think Boqvist (D) is going to be a long-term project or not long for the team. I wouldn't mind the project, tbh. The opportunity cost is small and the upside is potentially very high.

Isn’t there a stretch without games so they can go back and forth to Finland? Thought when I initially looked at the schedule I saw that.
They play October 28th, likely leave the 29th from New York to go to Finland

Play November 1st and 2nd.


Then they have a home stand starting November 7th

I didn't think he looked slow in Game 1 vs Boston. He's had some decent chances but has zero finishing right now. Also reminds me of Tippett's time here.

I'm still willing to give him time.

I think the next evolution for this team is to run

Verhaeghe Barkov RW
Roddy Benny Chucky
Loustar Lundy Reino
Boqvist (SHUT IT JLD I DONT WANNA HEAR IT) - Nosek - Giles/Greer

There is an opportunity possibly coming for Samo to play with Barky or play in ERod's spot and ERod can go up to Line 1..


I think if we can keep that 3rd line in tact it would make us that much harder to beat especially with the D core we currently have.

So
Shutdown line
Annoyance line
Scoring line
Killing line

I could live with that

That’s two games in 10 days, plays have the bye week or whatever hockey calls it, and I think the 4nations things is in there as well.

Agreed, but I think they will send him down and keep Giles up.

Need to give him time. He clearly has the ability to be more than a minor league guy and we need a prospect to pan out. Nothing from the pipeline since Lundell three years ago.
