[ZZamboni]

Wishing RJ well.

Classy

 

[Beerz]

Hodgson has been the best forward tonight.

 

[42]

Is Stewart just getting a day off or is something else going on?

 

[joshjull]

The polar vortex impacts the importance of road games. Interesting.

 

[kenfury]

Sekera has looked pretty good tonight.

They did NOT enjoy being stuck in Buffalo


Scarred for life



I'll take 10 winter storms over 1 Hurricane. Thank you.

 

[joshjull]

Neuvirth was really out of position on that one

 

[ZZamboni]

They don't need J. Staal. They will not out tank the Sabres.

 

[joshjull]

Is that somebody's car horn?

 

[start winnin]

I haven't heard that particular one. I remember when Forselund used to do national games. I think OLN/VS/NBCSN has wised up cause i haven't seen him call a game in a while.

"he scOOOOOres" drove me ****ing nuts.

oops totally wrong video LMAO

i was talking about this one



THATS HOCKEY BABY

 

[SundherDome]

Love the 2 hats that hit the ice after the lindholm goal.

This is a reassuring result. McEichel is still square in the target sights.

I know, right? Was anyone else a little bummed out about how good they looked the other night?

Seriously though, while this team will be much easier to watch than last year, they will have trouble scoring goals all year. The Ennis line should be dynamite, but that's about it. Girgs doesn't really generate offense yet and if Grigs makes the team, I would expect him to have an up and down year. Besides, if Stewart and/or Stafford begin to score at a contract year pace, TMGM will ship them out for picks.

 

[Moskau]

We were missing a few regulars and Carolina was icing most of theirs.

I wouldn't take much away from pre season. Their system certainly looks better but the talent isn't there and as a result their power play will likely be bottom 5 again which is a recipe for a top pick.

Anyways bring on 82 games.

 

[JRiz13]

Can someone tell me how Risto, Grigo, and Samson looked tonight?

That's a sick apple from Grigs.

 

[Paxon]

That's a sick apple from Grigs.

With any luck we'll have years of arguing whether Grigorenko or Reinhart is the best passer on the team.

CS: Grigorenko!
RP: Reinhart!
Poster X: Who cares? How can you even remember, anyway? Co***r Mc****d just goes end to end all game, so nobody needs to pass.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

That's a sick apple from Grigs.

Just knowing that the play was there is impressive, how many times have we seen a play like that where it would have just been tapped to Moulson for a bad angle shot with no traffic. I'm in a bubbly place for Grigs ATM. Also it's nice to hear both Canes fans were at the game today.

Having only seen highlights, Neuvirth looks hot steamy garbage, Hodgson looks pretty good, McCabe with a couple preseason goals with the **** it, pause, drag, flick it home.

The play by Grigorenko was a display of his elite hockey sense with him actually seeing McCabe open well before he outhustled Staal to the loose puck and thereafter making the sweet dish. That was an example world class anticipation, vision, skill, and execution that has me excited for his future.

After re-watching the clip and focusing on Grigs from the beginning, I noticed he didn't even look to see where Caber was before he got the puck and passed it to him. It's a textbook definition of elite hockey sense in the offensive zone by knowing where all players are at all times. Add this to the fact that it was a perfect tape-to-tape pass...
