Yeah, I'm not sure if they are intentionally trolling fans with the presentation there, or if it's just a happy accident.For a second I thought those were the line combos they were running with and was extremely concerned about DJ's sanity.
It looks to be in jersey chronological order going from top to bottom and then left to rightYeah, I'm not sure if they are intentionally trolling fans with the presentation there, or if it's just a happy accident.
Good catch, so that lends credence to happy accident theory, though they di choose to pay it out as three columns for the forwards and two for the d which immediately suggests lines and pairingsIt looks to be in jersey chronological order going from top to bottom and then left to right
Almost looks like 5 rows fit nicely without shrinking text, so maybe that's why, but you're right, its a confusing look. Kelly on the 1st line lol.Good catch, so that lends credence to happy accident theory, though they di choose to pay it out as three columns for the forwards and two for the d which immediately suggests lines and pairings
Yeah, I'm leaning towards happy accident, either way it was "fun" to experience a bit of a skipped heartbeat seeing Kelly on the first line, and Zaitsev in over Holden (paired with Sanderson no less).Almost looks like 5 rows fit nicely without shrinking text, so maybe that's why, but you're right, its a confusing look.

And Giroux riding the pine for game 1!Yeah, I'm leaning towards happy accident, either way it was "fun" to experience a bit of a skipped heartbeat seeing Kelly on the first line, and Zaitsev in over Holden (paired with Sanderson no less).

Lol, though tbh, I think we're hoping it works out better than Dadonov who is the closer parallel. Early indications are that it will.What a terrible signing. Reminds me of MDZ of last year.
I never thought Dadonov was even close to Giroux with his skill level and playing style, but I understand the comparison when it comes to signing. Although I was not even close to be this excited about Dadonov.Lol, though tbh, I think we're hoping it works out better than Dadonov who is the closer parallel. Early indications are that it will.
Yeah, Giroux is obviously much better, hence why he got the bigger contract despite being older at the time of signing.I never thought Dadonov was even close to Giroux with his skill level and playing style, but I understand the comparison when it comes to signing.

Could be tight. If Giroux can't get more than one stinking assist with zero goals on the PP for the ENTIRE SEASON, then I guess Dadonov shall be declared the winner.Lol, though tbh, I think we're hoping it works out better than Dadonov who is the closer parallel. Early indications are that it will.

I have a hunch he'll have that equaled by the 3rd period of game 1 though.
I think this is the lineup I'd like to see, based on how preseason went. I was expecting more from Kelly.
Tkachuk-Stützle-Batherson
DeBrincat -Norris-Giroux
Motte-Pinto-Joseph
Watson-Kastelic-Brassard
Chabot-Zub
Sanderson-Hamonic
Brannstrom-Holden
Forsberg
Hellberg
I swear to God DJ. If on opening day, 22 is in the lineup...
Normally the 7th defenseman takes the hurt defenseman's spot to not disrupt the normal pairings. In this case the 7th defenseman would be Holden.Relax, Zub is hurt but it's apparently nothing serious. Odd seeing Greig mentioned, I thought he was sent down already.
I think this went through everyone's mind.For a second I thought those were the line combos they were running with and was extremely concerned about DJ's sanity.
DJ should put Zaitsev on first PP for just one shift, just so that we can hear the whole arena go nuts on the 18th lol.I think this went through everyone's mind.
Prized UFA signing Giroux is our 14th forward.DJ should put Zaitsev on first PP for just one shift, just so that we can hear the whole arena go nuts on the 18th lol.
