I think this team is really good. If we stay healthy, especially along the blue line I like our chances.
I feel like with the way Aulie is playing, an injury to our top 4 won't hurt us all that much. It certainly wouldn't be ideal, but it won't kill our chances of winning games either.
- I think Brian Lee will get better as the season goes on. He just looks a bit rusty. A good example is his clearing attempt that resulted in the Flyer's goal. He had the right idea, but executed it poorly.
- Was Darren Puppa drunk during his interview? I kinda got that vibe.
Don't really care either way though, he's awesome.
- Boucher has definitely made some good adjustments compared to last year. One of the things I've really noticed is how active our defensemen our in the offensive zone. They are all really doing a good job of getting pucks on net from the blue line.
- This was our first game with < 30 SOG, and also our first game outshooting our opponents (I think). TBH though I haven't been all too worried about that, it seems like our D is keeping most of the shots as low percentage chances (besides the breakaways they gave up during the Islanders game).
- IMO, Hedman has been our best player so far, followed closely by MSL.
