Cheap dirty play by Subban.

Devils lineup wasn’t very strong. I’m not sure wtf Ruff is doing if he’s still got practically everybody up and only one preseason game left. Different strokes I guess.

Blais is really strong on his skates. Like him a lot so far. Igor had a really good game and Mika looks like he’s ready to go. Fox and Panarin just our resident geniuses. Great goal by Kaapo.

Subban always been like that - almost based his career on it.:nod:

The Sammy Blais goal was the type of guts and grit talent I knew he could bring and why he got 2nd line time on the Blues. He has the talent to get 20 goals this season.
His main issue all his career has been staying in the lineup. Has never had more than 40 games in a season.
Hoping Rooney and Goodrow can get 15 goals a piece but 50 goals from the fourth line is certainly really optimistic.

Miller is a project. Hedman struggled big time in his first few seasons as well. Give him time and he’ll be a monster on defense

i mean, there is that possibility. i would say i have a very hard time projecting him as a defenseman that gives you a consistent, reliable, physical defensive game. i just don't see the hockey iq or physicality in him, and thats not something that you can work on...its there or its not. because he's almost certainly not gonna be a major producer...has some tools like the shot and can go end to end, but not a very intuitive player with the puck on his stuck and won't be relied on in that way w/ fox / nils around. that said, certainly not above understanding my read could be completely wrong and you'll be proven correct with time. but given my view i think the value he could bring to a deal is a difference maker and he's a guy we're well prepared with depth to replace in the near term.

I just wish Blais' last name was pronounced "blaze." Saying "blay" just feels like you forgot to say the rest of a name. Stopped in the middle or something.
Well on the same token Alexis could be pronounced you know Alexis rather than Alexi

Gauthier did nothing to make the team tonight IMO
Blais looks like what we wish Gauthier would be
liked the push back and intensity they brought after the first period
Still plenty to clean up
Laf looks like he's feeling his way out there and needs to start playing with more assertiveness

Well Gauthier is on the team. He may spare but he’s not getting waived

Did he say that exactly? I thought he said “not serious” but I guess you could assume that’s DTD

This was the tweet I was referring to



But here is the actual quote



I think we can rule out an ACL and we can definitely rule out a break as they have x-ray machines on hand. Whether or not he has any tissue damage may be what they're waiting to assess tomorrow but I imagine they'd have an idea there if this were the case.

I guess? I dunno. He just didn't do much at all tonight when he's on the bubble. 13th F I guess but feels like Hunt is better for that spot and if you need ag uy to play up the lineup in case of injury then Blais moving up and Hunt coming in makes more sense.

yea it depends who’s out
Reaves out then Hunt. I think they want to keep Blais w Rooney so the 4th line is useful

Kravtsov needs to play the last preseason game
If he’s out I still think Gauthier goes in
