... and the lowlights of last year's RR season, where we were begging to decline all PPs

The important thing now is to scratch him quickly so he can watch how the game develops from up top, and then play him on a line with Rinaldo and KConn. Make him earn it.

He's doing a pretty good job, imo. Sounded a little nervous to start, but he's in the groove now.

When Nash first started he also started on the radio. For quite awhile he was hesitant to talk too much. It took him almost a full season really.

For better or worse, look at him now :laugh:

Strome with a beauty give back set-up!

And the Ducks get it right back with a Domingue softie.. Hamer time!

I honestly think Kempe is going to make the opening night roster.

Also, Ducks scored right back but Domingue got smashed in the side of the helmet and has left the ice.

Bob Heethuis is 10x better than Matt McConnell. Coyotes need to save a few bucks and fire McConnell, Nash, and Walsh. Just do a simulcast with Heeter, Biz, and Lapinski. Both broadcasts at a fraction of the price. That's smart penny pinching.

All for ditching that self imposed hack, Nash. Worst color guy in the league.

With the preseason Crouse is having, there's no chance Kempe makes the team without injuries. Crouse is bulldozing NHLers. Tocchet isn't going to ditch that for Kempe of all people.

Kempe has a tough hill to climb. Its a good problem to have because he's had a good training camp but others seem to be keeping him out.

Did he sign a contract? Is he Tucson bound or Russia bound?

Team needs PK guys. Desperately. And Kempe showed very well on the PK.

For me the Boston guy is the worst. A bruin could rape a guy and he'd be like 'i don't see a penalty there'

He signed a two way contract. For my money, tere's no upside in starting this player in the nhl. See if he can be a difference maker in the AHL first. Nice to have depth and some solid pros in Tucson.
