Really the least interesting of all the preseason games.

Really the least interesting of all the preseason games.

I'm mainly interested in seeing where Scherbak, DLR, and Ouellet are at. Hopefully they can supplant some vets that need to be put out to pasture as soon as possible.

Also intersted to see what Armia can do.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Are the lines up yet?

Yup. Peanut posted them in another thread:

Lines for tonight

These are good reasons to watch. I would also like to see a convincing performance from Price. The D tonight might be ugly

Another player that needs to stand out tonight is Hudon.

 

[Kimota]

Yup. Peanut posted them in another thread:

Really a cup-ready team for sure.

 

[Rapala]

Are we hoping for a monumental breakout game from Drouin at center so we can send Kotka home? WTF

Hudon's an interesting player. Love everything about him except for his foot speed. I mean he often turns the puck over when in tight spaces or pressed when it can be avoided, but I think that will be corrected with time. It's the skating that I wonder if he'll ever be able to correct. I was just talking about this in another thread about Suzuki, but Gallagher was slow when he came into the league. He seems to have dramatically increased his speed by increasing his muscular power, particularly in his legs. His stronger, powerful legs allow him to generate a lot of speed. I hope Hudon is working on something similar. I think strong legs from a strong workout program are also what makes Subban a fast skater...

 

[Chr1s97]

Hudon's gonna have a good game tonight

 

[peate]

LOL, is that Woody with hair?

 

[Belial]

Looking at that lineup this is what we'll get on the opening night IMO:

Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Drouin-Kotka-Armia
Domi-Peca-Lehkonen
Byron-Plekanec-Hudon

DLR and Scherbak as 13th and 14th forwards. Chaput and Agostino cut.

 

[CupInSIX]

Owen Wilson, brother of Murray, Doug and Ron.

 

[Rapala]

Yeah I think he is going bowling.

 

[MXD]

Owen Wilson, brother of Murray, Doug and Ron.

I thought he was Mookie Wilson's brother, actually.

 

[Rapala]

I remember Mookie.

Switch Armia & Lehkonen IMO. Agree for the rest

who could forget?

 

[Lycanthrope]

Want a big win, set the tone for Wednesday.

 

[Belial]

I think they'll give Armia a chance on that line, they used him on that line the whole preseason if he doesn't show something after a couple of games Lehkonen or Hudon could take his place.

Ottawa is the “new” NJD for me. Used to be a time where Jersey games put me to sleep but now they are young and exciting. Ottawa is the new armpit of the league for me now.

That's terrible, Hudon became a 1v1 ram champ and he's on top line... Okay

 

[habdynasty]

Dreger gets the Ottawa games lol

True. Either way, I’m fine with it. I’d prefer Lehkonen for his sniping abilities but Armia could open the ice
