Glad to see Killer score, he's one of the guys that we need to step up this whole season.

Between him and Johnson it'll save the season. Johnson was a hot mess all year last year

Don’t forget about Drej. Need him all 82 not just 40.

I had a longer post made up explaining about how Drej will start slow and his 40 will be like 82 but I just deferred because at least we can count on Drej to play well as the season ends. Johnson on the other hand? The wind blows the wrong way and he's in a slump for 3 weeks skating like a lost dog on the ice while everyone else around him plays well

 

[Brie]

The 4th line getting into a bit of a scramble there.

 

[Brie]

Paquette and Subban to the box.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Dotchin takes stupid slashing penalty. 5 on 3 for a bit. Cally blocked yet another shot on the PK.

Back to full strength.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Stammer to the box.

Edited to add: Preds get another penalty - Too Many Men on the Ice.

This is getting silly. :p

 

[Brie]

That PP was crazy, we didn't score but I like the way we played not giving them any moments to catch their breath.

But of course we take a penelty and a dumb one in the offensive zone.

 

[Brie]

*lol* at the Preds announcers calling Cally "Shanahan".

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Damn. Preds goal. Tied score.

 

[Brie]

Please stop taking penelties...we don't need our PKers to be all banged up before the season starts.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Overtime!

 

[Brie]

Come on, please just let it be nothing, the preseason isn't worth getting hurt over, at least not when you're just returning. Hopefully it's just Cooper benching him to give him a rest since he won't be out for the 3-on-3.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Captain Steve FTW!

Edit: changed to Kutch.

 

[Brie]

Overtime!

Y
Doesn't hurt getting some practice in.

And yay Kuch!!

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Whoohoo! Kuch with the OT GWG, assists to Strålman and Stamkos.

 

[Brie]

Now let's go Friday.

 

[Brie]

Kuch as the number 1 star of the game. I feel that Killer with two PP goals should have gotten one but since they are away that isn't happening.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Mishkin gave Kuch 1st Star, Rinne 2nd Star and Killer 3rd star.

That was so much better than the last couple games. Effort, speed, hustle...good PP, great PK. Vasy being Vasy and Kuch being Kuch.

Dotchin was rather underwhelming, imo, though part of that is probably because this was his first preseason game. Took a stupid penalty, had a bad giveaway...but he did have a couple hits and a block so not too bad.

Can't wait for FRIDAY!!!!

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

LOL That is SO Cally!!

 

[Leonardo87]

LOL...


Yeah save them for the regular season.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Can't wait for Friday!

 

[DFC]

Didn't see the game, but read through the thread. Seems like mostly positives.

...WTF is Callahan doing blocking shots in a preseason game? Coop should've sent him to the lockerroom whether he was limping or not.

Hoping for a big year from Kucherov.

Killorn will now start the regular season scoreless in his first four games. Wait, he scored last game? Make it six games.

How's Brayden Point looking? Haven't really heard much about him throughout camp.
