I knew Pacioretty had a good game but not lead the team in numbers good. Robertson near the top is no surprise.

May be just me but I don't even know how to read this thing.

I didn’t get to see the game but it sounds like Nicky Bobby stole the show

He did, he and Pacioretty have been great together

It's not just you. It's not really hard to tell who the best players were in any given game though.

Only one of them made the team out of camp last season.

Maybe he will be better then Knies and if he is that's great because I think Knies is going to be a great player as long as he's healthy.

But Robertson isn't better than Knies today.

Not yet.

I would bet on Robertson having more offensive output in the 2024-2025 season then Knies if he’s deployed correctly and it shouldn’t be close. I’m also higher on Robertson than most, I think he will surprise and find a way to score 40 in his career similar to how Jared McMann did it. Maybe not this season because he won’t get PP1 time but I could see him hitting in his career. I also understand Knies can do things physically that don’t show up in the box score that Robertson can’t and Knies can play that power forward role that’s so valuable, especially come playoff time. They both bring different things.

Domi Tavares Nylander was a line in practice today, so it looks like Nylander at center could be over.

Lol, they said they were going to give it more than the two games he got last year. What did he get, half a period this year?

 

[notDatsyuk]

I agree on the shooting percentage, but that was no minor league lineup tonight.

If he is our sixth or seventh or eighth best forward then we are a deep team offensively.

The means sarcasm or at least tongue-in-cheek. He's been very good.

I wasn't sure what the moji referred to specifically and missed the sarcasm I guess. Yes, be has been very good, almost dominant at times.

A super minor gripe, but what’s the point of playing Kampf on the pp? That will never happen so why bother with the reps? Wouldn’t it make more sense to put in the development time/practice into someone like Quillan?

Maybe they’re shopping him………..

 

[conFABulator]

Maybe they’re shopping him………..

I wondered that too. Top line and PP could have been to showcase him. Of course, it would have been better for us if he played better. He was fine and that's what he is. He is overpaid for fine.

As far as goaltending is concerned. I reckon they will just alternate Woll and Stolarz at the beginning of the season. certain trends will dictate if they should run with 1 goalie over another later in the season. The first 2 games are a back-to-back anyway, so you would see Woll in 1 game and Stolarz in the other regardless.

LA are apparently looking for bottom six C help, package Kampt with Lilly to LA……….

It amazes me how many people were bad mouthing him and wanted him in Europe because he wasn't happy with how he was being handled...

I don't think anyone wanted him in Europe.
He didn't want to play for Toronto.
He caved and signed.
