Kept switching between this and the Jays. What I did see was Willy and Max showing early chemistry, thought Knies looked good and strong down low as usual. I didn't see much of Timmins but the fact that he can still manufacture points the way he does even in pre-season action is something else.


He got walked bad twice. It will be the klingberg experience
 
The Good:
Minten
Nylander
Steeves
Knies

The Bad:
Lafferty
Clifford

The Ugly:
Pettruzelli

The Really Ugly:

Constant praise for Stützle.
Cuthbert even called him "King Stützle". Wtf?!
Why was Pettruzelli the ugly?

Did you watch the first 20 minutes.

Could of been 4-0 and he's probably a 4th string goalie if not 5th. He played pretty well.
 
Timmins is our new Holl, come on down big guy you have been crowned!

Knies needs to be less gun shy with that shot, he passed a few opportunities that could have been dangerous
 
Really impressed with Knies' puck retrieval. He's going to be a hound on the puck. Early chemistry between Domi and Nylander evident. Nylander should have had at least two goals.

On the negative side, I thought Timmins struggled out there. Clifford is useless. No one else stood out. Not gonna judge Lily or Rielly, they've made the team and are just getting ready for the season.

Couldn't watch the game, Did Strudel keep the diving to a minimum?

He hasn't played in a game situation in 8 months. There will be rust.....not prudent to be making blanket judgments about 2 plays in the first preseason game.

Timmins had an alright game. He did however look slower than usual. Hopefully it’s just because it’s game one of pre-season.

I know it isn’t related to the leafs but holy crap the canucks just got destroyed 10 to 0
 
It's the first pre season game, it's not a big deal, that being said there wasn't a single skater on the ice that I thought had a truly good game, I said skater because our goalies were great.

I will give credit where It's due Nylander was probably the best skater, he finished 50% in the faceoff circle, which admittedly was impressive considering at one point in the game they showed a graphic that said he was 31% on the draw so good on him for battling back and getting it to even, I thought he struggled BAD in in the first half of the game but got better as it wore on
and looked dangerous in the 2nd half.

This game did nothing to change my opinion that Nylander is not a center but he did salvage it.

Everybody else sucked, particularly Knies he did NOTHING out there he was on the struggle bus.

I know It's game 1 of pre season but holy shit, 1/6 on the PP is not good enough.

I do wonder what happened to Jarnkrok abd Timmins, they both left the game.

Overall not overly impressed
