I see we have 3 goals but could you please tell us what the score is?

I missed all goals but have still seen like since the 10 minute mark of the 1st. Its very loopsided in favor of STL. Henriksson has put the team on his back a few times. I wonder how we scored those goals... ;)
 
Great movie. We'll see the parallels this season if we hear that Kakko tries to sacrifice a chicken in the clubhouse or if Quinn tells Georgie "What's with this Ole ****! Get in front of the puck!!"

On Kakko, his passing, vision, play making on the first three goals were a treat to watch. His patience and positioning on the OT goal was as expected.

Kudos to Fox on the subtle pick in OT. That play will hardly ever get called unless you really go out of your way to interfere or just stop the opposing players momentum fully, but he just shifted enough to slow down the Wild player and gave Kakko an extra foot of room.

What's impressive to me in regards to Fox, is the same thing that was impressive with DeAngelo last season. Their calmness with the puck in tight spaces with opponents bearing down on them. Slight movement/adjustment in body, stick, and puck, open up a passing lane, and then thread it on the tape of teammate. It's damn refreshing to see.

"You put snot on the puck?"

I'll never forget that line.

This is probably the best team Huska has ever played on and it’s showing. He looks very good and it is allowing him to play a calm game.

Reunanen just walked a guy in the neutral zone like he was Alex Kovalev himself. I like that he still wants to use his slap shot a lot too becoming a lost art
 
Have any of the invites been impressing? I haven't caught these games between work and thesis research. I thought Maser might make an impression.

Hopefully Rykov will be good to go for camp.
 
Whole building bit on a slap shot from Reunanen and he sent it to a wide open Jones for a one timer. Really was a great goal.

Reunanen just looks like a pro too. He’s better than a few guys we have in Hartford right now already.

Yup, Roo looking real good on the PP. Once again Henriksson was a catalyst on that goal. Not sure if Karl will get an assist on that one, but he worked hard to keep it in the zone and nearly had an empty net to shoot at.

Puck just seem to find Henriksson. He stands out in a good way.

Just a gut feeling but If he continues to play like this into main camp I don’t think they ever let Reunanen go back to Europe. He’s too good. Time is now to get him acclimated to NA. He should be a top 4 guy in Hartford to start the season.

Keane on the other hand makes dumb play after dumb play. He’s going to be one of the first cuts you watch. Trying to do way to much just total opposite of his first year with us.

We are sitting back trapping, get like a breakaway every other shift. We have at least missed 4 clean or semi-clean breakaways while I’ve been watching, and still scored 4.
