I do wish there were more, but overall, I'm fine with it. It was a fast process and got on with my afternoon

It's "who's returning from their camps?" season...

Protas - at Washington's main camp
Spellacy - Chicago's main camp
Mathurin - not listed on Chicago's camp roster
Walton - not listed on Columbus' camp roster.

No word from Ottawa (Cristoforo) or LA (Davis/Greentree).

Update: Ottawa released their camp roster and Cristoforo is not listed.

It looks like last season's Costanzo and that worries me. We know what he can do but we also know what happens when he's off his game. The second and third periods should tell a lot.

I don't know....looks like the same issues as last season so far tonight.

This game has been eerily similar to last season, a complete 180 from the first couple of preseason games. Is it Costanzo? Is it the team?

It’s only pre season. Judge how the first 10-15 regular season games go first when you have everybody back then make that call.

I'm not sure the leash is that long.

I agree, Costanzo has body language of a defeated goalie. The team had 9-10 days to develop some solid schemes by now. Yes it is preseason but some some old the same bad habits are evident. Support for clearing the zone is poor. Long bomb passes don't work when it is the only option. Back to trying to outscore poor team defense.

It's exhibition they gave up 3 goals in 4 minutes which wasn't an uncommon theme last year. Give a look of the players that were on the ice for some of those goals.

LMAO how the hell did we win that lol thats funny. Froggett and Chartier played really well tonight I was very impressed by Froggett he locked in during the shootout. Winegard took that stupid penalty but actually redeemed himself at the end lol. Belchetz and Morneau saved our asses with some funny goals too. Kind of a crapshoot game but shit ill take the win lets see how Thursday goes
