- QUOTES -

Jon Cooper:
"The penalties, that was the big thing. That was something we'd been addressing in the preseason. That was probably the most disappointing thing in the game. I'm not judging it by the wins and losses. We've got a lot of young guys out there, a lot of guys who were nervous. I think it's easier for the younger guys to play a game on the road than it is to play at home. But the amount of penalties we took, that was disappointing."

Danick Martel:
"Did they really have a lot of dangerous shots from the slot? I'm not sure about that. We should look at it. But, I think a lot of them was a lot of point shots that were just low to high, quick shot to the net. Hopefully, we just bring this down, but I don't think that's a big thing in the first few games of preseason."

I'm looking forward to seeing how Somppi and Volkov do, as well as see if ABB can have a better game than last night. On the vets side, am looking forward to seeing our new guys, of course.

But I'm also curious to see how Sergy handles the PP competition that he's going to get from Shattenkirk as both will get the chance to QB one of the two PP units tonight. I doubt that Cooper will go with 2D on the actual PP2, but stranger things have happened.

Sergy and Witkowski is an... interesting combination. o_O

**had to edit because autocorrect changed Volkov to Volvo. :facepalm:

To me the biggest stories are going to be how Verhaeghe and Volkov do. They are the 2 players fighting for the opening night roster spot.

Also curious at seeing Maroon play with the team. Will be interesting to see how he picks up the system.

And seeing Schenn and Witkowski play will be good. I would personally think Schenn would be a better fit with Serge, but things change during the game. These two are battling to get swapped in during the season, and they will be the reason we can send Ruuta down. If neither of them impress tonight, we are starting the season with Hedman - Ruuta pairing.

Noooo, no Rutta please! He was not good at all in yesterday's game (yes, I know it was just one pre-season game, let me be overly judgmental ;)). The only D worse than him was the Gaunce/Thomas pairing which sucked fetid bilge water.

Our goaltending tandem is a dream from 2013. I remember when both were top goaltending prospects.

Wait a minute. I completely missed the part when we acquired Fucale. I used to watch him play in Halifax. When did this go down?

I honestly barely noticed Rutta yesterday. Feel like at this point Rutta could score a hat trick to win us the stanley cup and people would be complaining about how he looked bad doing it.

Not that he is a great defenseman but I honestly don’t care whether he or Coburn is our #6 defenseman since there isn’t much of a difference.

Really? This is how you try to drive your point home on this forum? A team that has been just on the outside looking in many times as far as the Stanley Cup goes and you think our fans would complain about a player winning us the cup? I know you dont think he is as bad as we think he is but damn...

So only your eye test is useful but I can’t use advanced stats either. Seems like you just don’t like hearing opinions that are different from yours.
