Only a Goal and an assist... To kill or not to kill?

He will live tonight. Up to him if he wants to live tomorrow

I didn't notice him a ton other than the two plays he was involved in the scoring. But, yeah, that's not exactly a bad thing given the whole part of two scoring plays.

Looks like a Fast clone.

Not with that one timer.

Good job kid, he’s always looked like a keeper even if it could be as a bottom six role. We could use some fresh blood and it looked like he may have almost made the team in camp so it isn’t impossible that we’ll see more of him.

Based on this it sounds like he was joining. RBA’s interview, too, - he would be in the favorite boys club.

I’ve followed him and the other Wolves on instagram when we joined forces with them. He is always so supportive of the Canes and his Wolves and former Wolves teammates. He reminds me of Nino in that way.

Keeper? Who sits?

Keeper? Who sits?

Whoever isn’t healthy

Whoever isn’t healthy

of course, but there have been long periods this year with everyone playing.

Pono is a young player and shouldn't sit, ie Lemieux, with play aiding his development.

he likely won't sit. If everyone was healthy, he'll likely be sent back to the AHL unless he is so overwhelmingly good over this stretch, that he forces his way onto the team permanently, but that would surprise me.

He’s likely the new Drury of one to two years ago. The only difference may be the popularity, not that Drury was disliked but they do seem to be man crushing on Pono. Rod seems pretty sensitive to the locker room so maybe that gets him some extra points but generally I agree with BBA. He’s probably only here until we’re healthier unless he takes someone’s job by really good play. I think Lemieux is probably the only one currently threatened by Pono and he works his tail off when he plays while being a vet with a great attitude about sitting. We don’t want Pono in that spot anyways.

Maybe next year there’s a fourth line wing spot left for him if he plays well this season.

I don't think he'll get much more than a cup of coffee this season. He looked good, but not dominant at all. His production was nice, but it doesn't look like he's figured out the NHL game yet. There will be growing pains later.

I think Brindy will love him. He has a golden opportunity to make the team next year as we lose some of Martinook, Teuvo, Lemieux. I'm expecting him to make the league and be a McGinn kind of player. If he exceeds expectations, awesome.

I don't think we can fairly make that assessment from a player's first game with 13 min. TOI, while playing with a rotating cast of players due to the 11-7 line-up. Very few players look dominant in their 1st NHL game, especially if they are playing with Lemieux for the majority of that ice time.

I thought he didn't look out of place, and showed some nice qualities to his game, which is a good thing.

That was a nice finish by him last night. That’s all I saw.

And kind of all I need to see, tbh. To get that kind of goal in his first NHL game? Combined with the props for how insanely hard he works? That kid is gonna find a way. Cautiously optimistic.

Correct answer. At 21 soon to be 22, team will ensure he gets sufficient play all year.

Good news is that if he gets some run and practice time with the big club then he could be a good asset to have for the playoffs (I would suspect Wolves are running a different approach than the Canes this year so the time up is important).

Good night sweet prince

Dang, I thought he was replacing necas
