i was at the game yesterday ...
liligren was pretty awful. Who cares if he had 1 good long pass, he was terrible in the dzone all night and made a bunch of stupid mistakes (with and without the puck). He is not ready to take the next step. Hes shown nothing in this preseason.
my duds of the night were schmatz and bracco. im sorry for bracco but hes clearly a 1 dimenional player who isnt fast enough or good enough defensivly to make up for his small size. Schmaltz was just plain bad. He was bobbling that puck all night and making really stupid decisions.
positives. hutchinson clearly had a great night. For the forwards; read, shore, petan and korshkov were great and noticeable, the rest not so much.
I remember when I used to drop truth bombs... It never goes over very well.
To be fair, Bracco and Liljegren both can still improve. I remember Brad Boyes being a similar prospect to Bracco where the production was there but the NHL level game wasn't. It took him a bit longer to round out his game. Liljegren will make better decisions and reads with more pro game experience. Not every prospect is a quick study.
