What f***ing awful coaching out there tonight. Just what was Moe smoking.
Ehlers goes down and instead of putting Perfetti who is having a whale of a game into the top 6 with a skilled player he advances Toninato to that spot....... he then puts Nash out there in the final minute..... what the heck kind of message is he trying to send some of these players. Is he trying not to have a rookie making him look stupid for not playing him with talent at any point this camp.....
Helle looked rusty but he'll be good to go for game 1.
I thought both Pionk and Dillion were off all game. It's preseason and they are vets so no concern there.
Stanley looked better as the game went on. He's looking more confident skating with the puck.
Heinola was generally solid.
Dubois is trending nicely. I am liking what I'm seeing in terms of speed, defensive support, and he's making the correct reads and passes. I think he will be a very nice two-way C for us.
I'm glad they took Nik out as he was getting too riled up for preseason. No sense risking an injury.
Copp was a complete non factor on that line and hasn't looked good since game 1. He will get some rope but hes bringing nothing to that line right now.
Conner and Scheifele were mailing it in all night which is fine given the games lack of importance. Harkins played well again he should get some kind of a role this year.
Perfetti was fantastic, was all over the ice and making things happen. He was let down by playing with a center that didn't read off of him very well. Lowry and Paul were fine tonight.
Toninato and Nash were fine but neither should have played up the lineup.
