- QUOTES -

JON COOPER: "I think it’s tough when you’re playing your first game and Shears did a heck of a job. He’s got a motor himself. Your first one’s always tough because in practice, you’re playing your own teammates. It’s much different than when you’re playing against opponents. As this game went on, I thought everybody got better. As for Shears in his first game with us, he was great. There’s so much more time left in this preseason. It’s great for these guys to get their feet wet. You want to come away with a W. There’s no question about that. But if you keep up that effort a lot of the guys gave tonight, we’ll be OK."

"It’s going to say 5-2 against us, but I didn’t think we deserved that result. Just some unfortunate plays. A tough change and one ends up in the back of our net. None of the guys were meaning for that to happen. Another tough bounce and the puck’s in the net. But other than that, our guys tried. They tried to do the things we asked of them. As that game went on, I thought the ice was tilting in our favor. We had chances. We just lacked a little finish tonight. But I liked the way the guys responded. Every time we kind of got knocked down, they came right back. That’s a good sign for a lot of those guys in that room."

ALEX BARRE-BOULET: "It’s always good to get that one out of the way. At the same time, it’s preseason. It was a power-play goal. I’ve got to focus on the five-on-five play first, but it’s good for confidence."

"The first game is always the hardest. You have to remember all the systems that you practice during camp. You play with a lot of new guys. But I think we did good. Obviously I played with Jeannot and Paul the first two scrimmages, so I think our chemistry was pretty good tonight."

CONOR SHEARY: "It’s always good to see a puck go in. Coming to a new team, you want to get that first one out of the way. I know it’s preseason, but it definitely feels good to score. I didn’t know I had an assist, so that’s nice."

Who are those people they are playing with? Are they drafted by us? I only know Element but dont remember how he got to us
I know Szturc is an invitee, and pretty sure the other two are.

If I remember correctly Merala's line is who he played with in the Prospects tournament.

Groshev and merela first task is to carry garbage linemates


Allard looked OK during the rookie tourny games. Looking at his stats, he the 18th highest point total in the QHJML league last year. Don't remember seeing Chaffee during the tourny.

Merela and Szturc ("Shstootz" I think is how they pronounced his name) played a couple tourny games together, but I also remember Merela being at center one game and taking a lot of faceoffs. Szturc had the 21st best point total in the WHL and over a point per game in two Czech leagues last year (16 games).

It could be worse - look at Robert's linemates. I've read he's possibly a Yanni Gourde light type player. He was feisty in the rookie games, but in a bad way, taking two penalties when he was frustrated.

ABB did look pretty good last night. It's just nice to see the boys back on the ice.

Nashville Predators will be streaming the game on their website. I assume the Lightning will have that feed on their site as well just like they had Carolina’s last night

Works for me. I'm probably not going to be able to see the whole thing but peaking in from time to time will at least be nice
