Gameday!
Love that our season opener is at home. Seems moar...specialer.
Thankful it's not against a league powerhouse too.
Yesterday I was living the Aavco dream watching the practice. Aavco, I don't know how you do it. Things were happening so fast out there.
Sticking with the debut of new guys theme, here are some hot takes from 1 small sample sized, untrained eye, practice viewing.
Matthias. I know nothing about Matthias, but from my one up close and personal viewing I am thinking he is a shooter or trigger man. He seemed to always be the one to shoot or finish on his line rushes. I'll be watching for that tonight.
JMo. We all know he can skate. It is a thing of beauty to watch. He can pick his corners too. He sniped some beauty shots around the black tripod screener things top corner over the goalie.
At the end of practice Huddy had him walking the blue line backwards from the boards out, faking a shot and then rifling it on the net. Like dozens of times with a pile of pucks. Over and over. Just hope he hits the net more when it counts...
Laine. If we get at least 5 powerplays tonight he'll have a chance to upstage Matthews. He brings a lethal shot when he gets it off just right. I hope our speed causes the canes to start racking up the penalties tonight. Looking forward to the day it all clicks for him. ...kind of like Neo in the Matrix. Haha no pressure kid.
Connor. The kid can fly but his snap shot is spectacular to see. He had a pile of pucks on one of the end faceoff dots and was snapping shots at the net. No wind up and those pucks were blistering into the net. Consistent, accurate and ****ing hard. I Could barely track the puck from where I was. Hope to see that tonight.
I am so optimistic and fired up to see these news guys and for this team this season.
Other than that, I'll be there tonight to take it all in.
Hope it's a barn burner and they send the fans home happy.
tldr?
Score all the goals, take all the points!
