Hockey is back! I'm curious to see how Ras does centering Svech and Taco hoping he can step up his game.

 

[Henkka]

Kind of bulldozer lines. Only Hirose, Puempel and Elson are known as mostly skill players.

Sigh, no Zadina, Veleno, or Seider

I'd rather see them against a better lineup anyway.

 

[odin1981]

So completely a scrub game from both teams lol.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

DeBrincat-Strome-Shaw is a decent line, but not great, Hawks played last night.

 

[Sparty]

So completely a scrub game from both teams lol.

This will probably be the defensive group we see for most of the year after Green, Ericsson and DDK get hurt though (swap out McIlrath obv)

To me it's just in years past the teams usually alternate every other game being nhl player ready and one team being prospect heavy and lower nhl line heavy. This game is just filth from both teams.

 

[newfy]

Only care to see the guys on that top line to be honest

 

[Sparty]

Do they have to designate captains for this game? Glendening obv and....? lol

 

[Mlotek]

Sigh, no Zadina, Veleno, or Seider

8 games in 10 days, you'll get your chance to see them.

 

[Gniwder]

Thanks for posting the lineup guys, I can't access Twitter at work.

I think the 4th line is the only line that's gonna score tonight.

Also, by NHL preseason rules, 8 veterans are required (more than 30 NHL games last season or 100 NHL games in career), and here's their selection for tonight:
- Raz, Ehn, DLR, Bowey, LGD, Nemeth, Hronek, Cholo
- Plus Jimmy for the goaltender requirement

It's almost as if they tried to put the weakest lineup out as possible.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I guess if there's a reason to watch, it's to see if Cholowski has taken a step forward.

 

[Dotter]

Anyone know if this will be televised online? I live in Nashville and don't get FSD

 

[Mlotek]

I think the 4th line is the only line that's gonna score tonight.

I'll put money on:
Puempel
Potatoe
Glendening

Historically, Red Wing grinders excelled in the preseason against the prospects/AHLers. I recall Drew Miller getting many points in past preseasons.

Perhaps some illegal stream.


FSD amd NBCSCH are listed as the TV sources.

 

[Christien]

Can't wait for the game! I'm real excited to watch Hronek play this year along with Cholowski

Potato? Who dat?
BTW, you used the Dan Quayle spelling. For those who don't understand the reference:
Never Forget the Time Dan Quayle Misspelled "Potato"

Svechnikov said he still injured,

 

[tfong]

Lets go wings!

 

[Konnan511]

No time in the title or the main post? Low effort, 2 out of 5.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

It really bothers me that when you subscribe to NHL.tv that they don't give you the feeds for the pre-season. Just silly mickey mouse stuff as usual out of the NHL.

 

[Christien]

Svechnikov said he still injured,

I don't think he's still injured, I believe he said that he his game isn't where it was before he got injured, but that's understandable. He just needs to stay healthy
