I'm curious to see if Kucherov has improved. At 21 years old last season, he scored 65 points and led the NHL in +/-. Since forwards tend to peak statistically roughly around age 26, what's in store for the team now that he's 22.

I'm betting yes. It wasn't until the playoffs that Coop seemed to finally fully trust Kucherov. My money's on that continuing in this season, and we see Kuch with 17+ minutes per night.

On another note, I'm curious to see/hear what the PP looks like tonight. If TKO fails to put anything together, I'll already be worried.

There was this from the morning skate:

I really hope though that they will e able to keep developing both as individuals but also a unit if they are sticking together.

Why is coop still coaching the PP?

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Mašín with Šustr? I'm so excited and afraid at the same time. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I don't know how to feel right now

I havent seen much more than glimpses of Masin. I have heard he has quite an edge to his game, true?

 

[These Are The Days]

We're gonna get smoked. I just realized this is TKO + Crunch hopefuls. ...Look at that D.

Meh. Might as well give the hopefuls a look.

 

[Brie]

Good that they give him some more looks even if he probably wil spend the season in the AHL.

 

[Brie]

First moment of TKO of the season and they already got things going, sadly it was missed pass but they sounded like they at least tried to get things going.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Nashville radio stream on NHL com again for non Americans.

 

[DFC]

The Nashville color guy sounds like drunk Ric Flair.

So... just like Ric Flair.

 

[DFC]

So... just like Ric Flair.

Exactly.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Exactly.

Whooooo

 

[Lovethiscity]

thought there might be a livestream

 

[Brie]

Ah, damn it!

 

[Brie]

And now we have to kill a penelty right after, not a good start.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Not liking the way this is trending.

 

[Brie]

Down by 2, this game could get ugly...ier...before this is over.

 

[dechire]

Shocking

 

[Brie]

We're pretty much a 3 player team with some help once or twice right now.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Hooray thats it's only Preseason

 

[Brie]

Ah, this is just brutal to listen to. And guess who was out there again, Sustr.

 

[These Are The Days]

Man another goal given up

 

[Brie]

Needs to try and get at least something done soon, to get some energy and confidence into the team.

 

[Brie]

Apperently the team keeps giving up the puck left and right.

You can't blame TKO for not getting much done, it's not easy trying to do everything while having little to no support. Very different from when they play wth the rest of the team when they have a lot of solid 'd' and three other solid lines, even if they aren't as good as them they can provide some great backup.
