Roy makes decent personnel decisions. I'm hopeful but also realistic in thinking that Redmond, Holden, Stuart, EJ, Barrie, Hejda is the top 6. It's very likely.

I would say it's going swimmingly. Wonder how many pages we can get it too.

Redmond got 23 minutes so he was used as top pairing D. Wilson had 21 though. Roy just keeps making him try to happen. I don't think it's that easy. Good thing is Redmond has made it tough not to use him.

I still don't understand how Elliott could be any worse than Wilson and Guenin. Roy needs to stop forcing Ryan Wilson on us. Just cut the damn guy.
I think Redmond has looked a good amount better than Holden did in camp last year as well. I bet he will learn and grow quite a bit under Roy and this staff as well.

I'm personally kinda rooting for you guys this season, cuz Iggy is one of my fav players.

Hishon had 5 shots, Henley and Schumacher 3 each. Redmond had 1 and 5 blocked shots. Cliche went 13/17 on faceoffs.

I think there is some organizational loyalty towards Wilson. He used to be decent and he's a warrior. But he isn't very good anymore. Can't move, only hits with his ass and is out of position all the time.
I think the injuries slowed him down and the concussions screwed with his confidence so he's now ineffective. At least he managed to get a good contract before the problems started so he should be set for life.

Agreed with this. His lateral mobility and first couple steps might be in the bottom 5 in the league. Hes that slow.

Quick thoughts.. might post more tomorrow;
Wilson is slow, needs to work on his foot work. Had a couple bad moments but overall was one of the better D tonight.
Everberg had a really bad first period, made a few minor mistakes and topped it off by falling into the boards with no assistance. Was noticeably better in the 2nd and 3rd.
Maggio hit everything in sight and was good all night.
Briere was invisible. All night. Could be a good thing and a bad thing for a 3rd liner.
Winchester had a couple bad penalties in the 1st and was not noticeable in the rest of the game (for me).
Redmond was quick and made some risky plays that turned out well. Didn't see anything bad from him tonight.
Siemens needs a year or 2 in the AHL.
Hishon was a little too fancy. Needs a full year in the AHL with a call up here and there.
Every shot taken tonight by anyone not named Talbot was terrible, how Hiller got the 1st star is beyond me.
If this was a regular season game everyone should be ready to jump. But it wasn't so I think we'll be okay. The guys sitting behind me think the Flames are actually better than the Avalanche...
Edit: Cliche also wasn't terrible tonight. If he was faster could have had 2 breakaways.

And Cliche as a 2nd line center after Mack or Dutchy go down and Malkin still out.

****ing Wideman. That was a cheap ass hit. Throwing a hip check into a guy chasing down the puck isn't battling for a loose puck. It's interference and a dangerous play.
Officiating is tough in the NHL. Things go both ways but the officials missed a few high sticks and call the Avs on a few chincey ones.
Hopefully they can somehow use live feed out of the GoPros for instant review between periods because the officials need some serious coaching on consistency.

Playing this many pre-season games is really stupid. I mean whats the point? just play like 3 pre-season games and get it over with.
Tons of injuries already through out the league because of so many pre-season games which means teams don't benefit from it, they actually suffer.

Any of you guys still thinking that Briere is a lock? I see a very possible healthy scratch when Mitchell comes back. Just like PAP last year.
Not that I care, we didn't get Briere because of his playing abilities anyway.
