I managed to watch the last two periods. I did fall asleep occasionally though... Here's some hot takes:
- looks like puck possession is going to be a big problem this year, even worse than the past few years. I expect us to get outshot most nights by a wide margin.
- but that doesn't mean we can't outscore the other team. Tonight was a prime example. We're going to get a lot of garbage goals thanks to Tkachuk.
- I liked Zaitsev. More decisive than Ceci. (well that's not difficult)
- I really disliked Hainsey. Very cringe-worthy. When was the last time we signed a FA who contributed something noticeable? Gonchar?
- Chaboss!
- other guys who looked decent: Chlapik, Ennis, Anisimov.
- controversial opinion: I'm done with Pageau. He got a mulligan coming back from injury, but even the year before he wasn't all that. The youthful enthusiasm and jump of his early seasons has faded, and now not much is left. On my depth chart he'd be our 4th C.
- did
