He always was.
Myers stepping up on the Simmer goal to start the goal was a very good play. Exactly what we miss with the Farmers and Hoggs.

People rag on him, but Lehtera's always been a fairly good player for what he is. Nothing spectacular but he's smart, has decent hands and uses his size to advantage. He's just a bit slow. He was good in St. Louis but then they paid him way too much. Kind of like AMac. If they were both on Weise's contract we wouldn't mind them so much. Weise needs to be waived. Hopefully someone will take him, or arrange a trade where we can eat some money. Rather see Leier on the team at this point.

No Lehtera was terrible last year just like Weise and MacDonald.
Yes I was very pro Rubstov when comparing the 2, and a lot of the time it came across as “whipping”.
Vorobyev IQ has translated better this pre season then I would of expected. His positioning has made up for the areas of concern I had with his game like skating and space to create. I still like Rubstov more then Vorobyev, and think he will have a better career, but their isn’t much to complain about his game this preseason.

Hmm, let's just see what searching the term 'Vorobyev' and 'Alex91' gets us...

Exactly. And he made a nice play just before that to clear his own zone, gain center ice line and dump the puck deep, which started the whole sequence leading to Simmer's goal.
I enjoy watching Myers play. The kid is smart, looks good with the puck and isn't afraid to try to make plays.

I was happy Myers got another look tonight. He made some good offensive reads and looked pretty good with Friedman. But man he is terrible when he is pressured in the d-zone. Lacks confidence and gave up the puck on at least five forechecks. You could tell the Bs were dumping it into his side of the zone over and over. Hopefully he can shore this up because I like what he can bring in the offensive zone that is lacking with Hagg.
Vorobyev was great again. Raffl was noticeable too.

While Jori looked better this game..
He is honestly one of the slowest individuals I have see play in a long long time.

Can't have that under hakstol. Need to play safe at all times or enjoy the pressbox. Just ask ghost and sanheim.

I hate this team
I did this for myself, from July 13th.
From Dec 2017:
If we are going to treat Frost like we did Konecny, leave him in the OHL. Give the #3C spot to Vorobyev instead....or Laughton for the year.

It is somewhat unfortunate but I think Ghost and Provorov for the time being are basically stapled together. I mean they've both done what they needed to do to get where they are though. I'm just surprised that Hakstol admitted that its his only pairing that can actually push the play up ice.

Funny how the bees are confused with the smoke permeating the hive.
Lehtera, what the ... ? Actually, he's a decent all around forward, yes, reliable, except for foot speed, if he's gotten quicker (ok, from really slow to slow) he's a serviceable 4C.
I'm not sold on Leier, but supposedly he bulked up from 175 to 184, it may well be it's taken time for him to get used to playing at a heavier weight, because this is the first game he looked like a NHL player - but if I'm Hextall, I hate this, is it a mirage or the real Leier.
Weal did his usual job, just enough to tease, not enough to please.
Myers is going to go back to LHV and work on his D-zone game, being nice on offense is nice, except he's a defenseman, which means at times he has to play defense. If he masters that, he's going to be starting here for the next decade.
Friedman is on the verge of the NHL, I think Ron will let his veterans play their way off the team and he'll be the first call up.
Elliott looked like his old self, not good but reliable, like the first half of last season. And he lasted the full game!
I think the first half of this season won't be as bad as last year, but there will be some sorting out, a couple veterans will play their way out of town, and a couple kids will be up by the end of January. The problem is it's hard to determine if someone like Gudas is washed up off preseason, maybe he's nicked up, maybe he's gliding, maybe he's finished. Ron will take his time but the leash will be shorter this season.
You can see how good this team can be, but this is not going to be a smooth ride this season, hopefully, the team will jell by March, they'll go into the playoffs this season with real goalies, and cause some trouble.
