Thats what Oduya looks like against NHL competition. This is not something new he is old and slow thats why he signed for 1 million two months after free agency. There is no way he is a better option than having Wideman play and Chabot on his proper side.
Boro is not an NHL player, so many terrible blunders. No idea where to go in his zone, follows the puck then ignores it its really bad. If he plays over anyone then the coachs arent watching film.
Claesson was also playing out of position, between him and Phaneuf there isnt enough speed on the back end for puck retreival. I really did think that Ceci had a good game all things considered, he got the team out of the zone more than any other D man. Had a great clear on the pk that might have ended up in the net.
Id like to see Chabot play his natural position when the speeds ramps up, its hard enough making the nhl as a rookie d man playing your wrong side isnt making it any easier.
Dzingel's speed was fantastic, thought Pyatt was solid I dont think Thompson was that bad. Formenton Thompson Pyatt had more sustainted zone time then any other line. Thats good and bad I guess, thought Turris looked like a passenger he looked slow going through the motions. I hope for his sake he wasnt 'trying due to pre season' he isnt physically imposing and its a long season so if he was going through the motions im fine with it.
Pageau was unlucky with the goal that went off his shin pad he did the right thing and got into the lane. Wasnt his best game but I dont think he dials it up until it counts and it has nothing to do about choice for him thats just the way he is.
Stone looks like the old Stone dominant offensively, terrible selfish penalty at the end though. He needs to be better than that. Doesnt set a good example for the young guys.
Formenton what can you say... He needs to be sent down for his development but man he can play. Just shows they need to find a guy on waivers not enough depth upfront right now.
Brown looked good, still think he needs to get stronger and faster but the end game is tantilizing his vision and puck skills are tremendous.
