On csn again

 

[Caps Circle]

That 3rd line is one of the best shooting lines I've seen.

Sanford being given a nice audition spot....

That could be a fun line....

I found tickets for 8$, which is unprecedented at the Bell Centre. Then, I looked at the starting lineup and I remembered that I have a heat transfer quiz at 9AM tomorrow that I need to study for. Sorry, top line Johansson-Sanford-Burakovsky.

 

[Hivemind]

No Backstrom or Kuznetsov or Eller, yet both of Johansson and Burakovsky are playing wing. I guess this means the center experiments for both players are officially concluded.

 

[Ridley Simon]

So who is playing in the back to backs?

Sill, Vrana, Bowey? Is that right?

Or our center depth is awesome?

My Beagle to 2RW movement could be alive and kicking.

 

[Langway]

Vrana, Bowey, Beagle, Walker, Chorney and the goalies.

Connolly should fit in nicely on the bottom 6 . If he exceeds expectations don't be surprised if he gets top 6 minutes the odd game, can definitely squeeze in there if an injury occurs in the top 6.

Vrana will be hard to cut this season, kid has wheels with a nasty shot.

I was hoping so too, but I am a little discouraged with Connolly (and Vrana) being among the 9 players who failed their initial fitness skating tests.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Class finished an hour in advance so I'm going to the game. 8$ was too good to miss.

Connely to me is a bottom pair guy, in not excited to see him move up. In fact I'm hoping the roster is strong enough to have him sit and wait for injuries


Hey look who scored......

quality depth on offense.

 

[Langway]

Christian Thomas over Connolly on PP2?

 

[Calicaps]

mojo in midseason form.

 

[hockeykicker]

Christian Thomas over Connolly on PP2?

Trying new things most likely

 

[Langway]

Trying new things most likely

Turns out Connolly was out there...in the Ovi spot I guess.

Now Beagle's in the Ovi spot. Yay.

 

[Calicaps]

ZZZZZzzzzzz....

 

[RandyHolt]

I hope if BOOOwey gets into games this year, we give him some PP time, presume PP2

I know, they are not saying Boo. Sigh. I have been pronouncing it wrong in my head for years.

He looks more than ready for BP time for a top team

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I'm not looking forward to 3 more years of this Mojo BS. Enough with him.

Butter soft... all but the hands.

4 periods of pre-season hockey so far, and the whipping boys (Johansson/Orpik) are already getting beaten up in the GDTs. Gotta love it.
