Curious to see the Hawk's lines but good to see Sanford and Maroon in town(would the Hawk's be dumb enough to put them on the same line? Could make for some interesting in game chants).

Haven't seen the lineup for tonight's game - but here is the lineup in morning practice that is NOT playing:

Teravainen-Bedard-Bertuzzi
Reichel-Spellacy-Smith
Foligno-Dickinson-Anderson
Rolston-Baddock

Martinez-Jones
Brodie-Murphy

Soderblom
Commesso

 

[ChicagoBlues]

OMG! We have to face Zach "Nail in the Coffin" Sanford???

Or is it just Zach "In the Coffin" Sanford?

 

[kimzey59]

First take on Pershard Owens:
Tremendous voice. Excellent range. Slightly overproduced the song but pretty good overall.

 

[kimzey59]

Holloway showing the wheels early.
Damn near pulled off the Kyrou offensive zone lap.

 

[BlueDream]

PO Joseph looks like he’s 6’6 out there. He’s listed as 6’2.

He’s pretty lanky so I guess that’s why he looks taller than he is.

Jesus, how bad are Chicago's skate sharpeners?

It's not their skates.
Matt Kessel is practicing his jedi mind tricks.

I'm liking Texier's creativity out there.

I’m not loving how everything seems like pure chaos with him lol

I thought the same thing last game too. He looks like the biggest player out there most of the time.

Creativity. Chaos. Tomato, tomahto.

It's not just him.
Not a lot of "team" play on this squad right now. Our passes aren't on target, lot's of overhandling the puck, no coordination in the defensive zone. It's almost like we have a lot of players who haven't played together before.

loof standing up for dvorsky was nice

the blues d zone coverage is not

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Just tuning in...

You think we go winless in pre-season?

 

[AVictoryDive]

You can tell it’s Saads and Texiers first game. Dvorsky definitely plays smart and has some nice hands. When he is ready I think he is going to be tough to deal with

100%

 

[Drubilly]

Well @Snubbed4Vezina feels we’re going to lose every game this season. Maybe they mean PRE season?

 

[CurrentCS]

Another pretty poor period. I know its preseason but Chicago clearly outplayed them and you don't want to say that too often.

I thoroughly dislike Perunovich.

The Joseph's are ok so far. I've been hoping for PO to break out this year, right now looks like a 6/7.

Lack of center depth could be our downfall this year. We don't have a 2 or 3 C.

Update to follow today's game.

 

[PerryTurnbullfan]

Loof has played well.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Tex should be on the 3rd line over Joseph imho

 

[CurrentCS]

Fully agree

4th line should be Toropchenko-Faksa-Joseph

Tex should be on the 3rd line over Joseph imho

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Holloway-Schenn-Tex 3rd line would be fine. I don't think Schenn should be a top 6 C. But he should be totally fine as 3C and Holloway and Tex and take C shifts from Schenn as the season goes on.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Texier has been one of the few forwards to provide a bit of a spark tonight. I'm excited to see more with the regular lineup.
