- QUOTES -

JON COOPER:
"That's the whole thing (implementing the new rules), the game's not fun, it's not fun to watch. There's 30 minutes of special teams. I don't think that's what's intended for our game is for it to be a game of special teams."

"I don't know how long this will last, but it is going to change a lot of the way the game's played, that's for sure. The tough part for it is, some of these kids are getting one exhibition game, maybe two. That's it, and this is your one time you get to evaluate them against not your own players but against other players. And some of them it's hard for them to get on the ice because there's so many special teams. I guess from an organization standpoint it's a little tough. I don't know, we'll see how this plays out. I can't imagine this is going to continue the way it is."

VLAD NAMESTNIKOV:
"It was a bit confusing at first because the smallest tap on the stick is a penalty now. I thought there was no rhythm to begin the game, but I think as the game went on, everyone got used to it and just played."

LET'S GO BOLTS!​

I haven't really paid attention to preseason in the past, so I don't know. With not making the playoffs last season, I am actually going to the game this Friday since we have terrible Lighting withdraw. So, when can we expect any of the regular starters to play?

 

[LightningStrikes]

Go !

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Lets go Lightning

 

[DaveG]

Game should be streaming tonight on hurricanes.nhl.com, not sure if it will be available outside the Canes market but it should be.

Thanks for the info.

Canes icing like half their NHL lineup tonight...should not be pretty nor close. My lines prediction for the Lightning lines:

Cirelli - Namestnikov - Conacher
McGinn - Peca - Erne
Stephens - Howden - Point
Brown - Dumont - Katchouk

Koekkoek - Dotchin
Sergachev - Foote
Hajek - Cernak
McBain

Budaj

NHL: Namestnikov, Point, Brown, Koekkoek, Dotchin
AHL: Cirelli, Conacher, McGinn, Peca, Stephens, Dumont, Koekkoek, Cernak, McBain
CHL: Howden, Katchouk, Sergachev, Foote, Hajek

The posted lineup has 21 players ... we can only ice 20. Hopefully McBain sits and we can watch the youngens on D. Also, we need to find more natural wingers ... we are icing like 7 centers tonight.

as the pre-season goes on, the rosters begin to gradually look more like the regular lineup.

Great news, thanks for sharing!

 

[VinikToWinIt]

I'm excited to see how the defense does tonight. A lot of young talent there.

 

[The Macho King]

How did Foote look last night?

 

[ultra63]

McBain wasn't very good but Foote looked fine for 1st game and had lots of time on ice. Sosunov looked like a better Sustr in development

[HoseEmDown]

We should lose since we aren't icing nearly as many NHL guys. Hopefully Howden gets matched up with Staal, think Howden is a mix between both Staals brothers, is an Eric lite offensively and Jordan lite defensively.

Katchouk getting two in a row is interesting and Raddysh just one unless they plan to keep Raddysh around longer since we are thinner on the right and he could maybe snag that 2/3RW?

 

[Felonious Python]

Red vs. Blue

 

[The Macho King]

Interesting pairings. Puck mover and steadier presence on each pairing, and all prospects. You say this is streaming? Might try to watch.

Anyone else getting the message from the hurricanes website that "the content is blacked out in your region"?.

Yes... And I live in Panthers territory...

 

[RDTBay4]

Stream is "working" for me, but it keeps freezing with audio still working hehe.

 

[Felonious Python]

I'm not getting the stream on TB's site.

I'm near Orlando. It's possible that it's only for TB and not the entire territory, which is a bummer.

 

[Werewolf]

Found the stream on the NHL Reddit Streams site...but its crappy af.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Erne scores. That's 2 goals so far for Erne.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

nice to have this streaming.

 

[Felonious Python]

Despacito has some pretty raunchy lyrics if you look at the translation.
