Lucic with a couple giveaways within 15 seconds on the box feed. Nice.

In the best shape of his life though.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I was thinking of the player to compare Persson to and that's who I was looking for. Plays some of his game like Ozolinsh

He's never going to outmuscle anyone.

But he has a very good and active stick and used it almost to perfection tonight.

Plus he has a rocket of a shot. If he makes the team and isn't on the powerplay I will throw my remote at the TV.

 

[CycloneSweep]

That’s a little rash no? What if 10 games in whatever rookie plays with Klefbom loses his confidence and starts drowning. I don’t want more than 1 or maybe 2 rookies on the back end at absolute most.

Persson is a rookie, but he is also 25 and came out of a Swedish league. Not like he is really young or anything.

That said I think one of Benning or Russell might end up out of the rookies keep pushing like they are.

Round is a shape.

I didn’t find his shot particularly booming but he did have that gift of getting it through consistently which is just as important.

I think Juj is getting a bit of a bad rep. He was casual but had some nice moments on the PK. Every line had its moments. We had the significantly better team and played as expected. I’m not taking too much from it.

Based on expectations I think the heavy line was our best. Totally shutdown their opponents. They need to show more offensively.

 

[Skolman]

The good news about Looch though, is we have proved that the contract IS tradable.


XD

But only if you trade him for a player that is "worse" than him....

 

[Showcor3]

Sooooo couldn't watch on my desktop computer, my laptop, my PS4...but the feed on my phone is exquisite.

Me too! I tried everything in the house. Phone won the round on that one

This is pre season though. We haven’t seen any of these rookie D playing anything resembling a nhl roster yet let alone in an actual meaningful game.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

LOL Flames lose on the first shot in OT

1st Shot Talbot in prime form LOL.

That's why I said based on this game.

Things will be very fluid until game 1 of the season. Maybe a total of 7 skaters are guarenteed spots right now. Everyone else is fighting for them. So every game you play will raise or lower your stock, guys like Benning and Khaira can't afford to have crap games.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Talbot 667SV%

 

[Skolman]

Good work Talbot, keep it up in the regular season

 

[fireantz]

It’s early but Persson looks like a possible 2RW with Klefbom Also thought Lagesson-Bouchard looked like 3rd pair challengers. Was also impressed with Russell but Benson Cave Nygård and Haas have a long way to go. Nuge and Neal look good together but I think they need more forecheck speed on the other wing Coaches should be pleased tonight

I’m just saying it’s a little crazy to be tossing ideas like trading one our proven top 4 D men to make room for Lagesson who looked good in game 1 of the pre season.

It's always nice to see a win, even when the games don't mean anything.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Only caught the last 5-6 minutes or so but any thoughts from a coaching stand point tonight. How was the defensive play, breakouts, special teams? Did the players look like they understood what they were supposed to do? Obviously it's still so early on the execution but just curious how the systems looked.

It looked pretty early. Neither team played with much structure.

 

[Showcor3]

Persson on PP1 with four forwards. Go big or go home.

Has Neal ever been the right point shot on the powerplay

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

So Bouchard looks really good tonight eh?

 

[snipes]

So Bouchard looks really good tonight eh?

Looked like a poised 5 year vet and was a one man breakout machine all night.

His game is really developing well.

 

[Llamamoto]

Both his play and his face seem beyond his years if you know what I mean

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Went to the game and Persson looked gooooooooood

Bouchard looked good and of coarse love the Neal goal.

Neal is a fan favourite already.
