Nice to see both Niku and Kulikov in the roster Also somehow interested to see what Hendricks can bring to the ice.

The lineups for the next two games will be "interesting"

The lineups for the next two games will be "interesting"

it's a nice departure from previous years, where you'd see guys like De Leo and Cormier get a few games. this year? wondering if those Moose players will even get 1 game.

and add me to the likely chorus of wondering why Connor isn't getting ice time. that bottom 6 combo needs this training camp ice time, not the top 6.

So excited for the NikuBuff pairing

I imagine Connor and all those fightig for spots will see a bunchbof action the two games after tonight. I don't think we see many incumbents those games.

THis is a much stronger D corp overall compared to the previous game

Mo said the younger guys will get the next two road games

This could be our defense in a year.

Things to focus on

1) Niku - after watching him in Penticton I think he's likely to give a good showing in his first NHL game
2) Roslovic line - Is Roslo a viable option at C right now? How does Petan perform on RW? (This line has a bunch of beep test stars on it BTW) I hope there's a bit more 5 on 5 time
3) Morrissey - Surixon's camp reporting has me intrigued
4) Mason - will feel like the Pav era is really over. It's not a dream
5) Hendricks on the PK
6) Garret - I expect he'll be lurking since his #1 son (Niku) is in the lineup. I expect another drive by

I'll be there tonight and I'm looking forward to seeing many of the things you've listed. Niku should show well as he's got 3 rookie games under his belt and shouldn't be that rusty in comparison to the other dmen.

I'm expecting a fairly rough game from Myers tonight given that he hasn't played in ages.

 

[Aavco Cup]

We get a different "guest" colour guy tonight. Boynton is a former player and worked previously as a colour guy on Coyotes radio. I wonder if Beyak will ask him about this?

Former NHLer Nick Boynton could find himself in some legal trouble after allegedly biting a police officer during an altercation at the Buffalo Creek Casino in Buffalo, N.Y., Wednesday night.

Buffalo? You sure his name isn't Kane?

 

[Gurilla]

Excited to see Niku, Kuli, Roslovic and Mason tonight

Great list. I'd add Petan, following positive reports from TC. Hoping he's faster, stronger, more aggressive and even more saucer-passier.

He's part of #2

 

[Neuf]

Go Roslo! I'm most looking forward to his game

 

[Aavco Cup]

So Buff & Kuli are absent from the morning skate. I would guess Gawanke & Gotovets are just placeholders

 

[Aavco Cup]

Also apparently missing are Scheifele Little & Wheeler

 

[surixon]

Ahh. Then I wouldn't read much into it. I'll give a pre skate warm up update if a line up isn't posted.

 

[Aavco Cup]

FWIW here are the rest of the "placeholders"

 

[PhilJets]

Go Jets go!

Is McDavid playing?

I doubt that he makes the trip.
