You'd think a commentator would be able to pronounce names properly... since ya know.... it's his job.

Akeson deked right and hit his glove
Kadri deked left and hit his pad
Raffl went blocker side over the pad and Heeter saved it with his blocker
Leivo had the puck bounce on his deke
Laughton deked backhand and couldn't get it over him
Booth picked blocker side over the pad.

I only saw the last half of the game and OT. It's coming on again now so I'll watch the start.
Impressions:
Couts really handling and protecting the puck. Read is Read. Didn't see much of Simmonds, got a misconduct for some unknown reason. Akeson joined this line after Simmer left.
Laughton played very well. Smart and fast and hard on the puck. Cousins played well too, very quick on the puck, smart plays. Raffl was probably the most dangerous forward, flying already and scored a nice goal.
Bellemare looked good playing with Rinaldo and Powe, I think it was. Early it was PEB with Zac and Akeson.
Didn't see much of Stortini or Alderson, esp. after Simmonds left.
on D: Del Zotto and Schenn looked good together.
Morin and Alt looked solid. Smart pinches, good passing.
Schultz and Manning were average.
Something we will likely never see again: in the OT, Flyers PP featured Schenn and Morin on the points! Got several good looks each too.

Simmonds got the jump on Holzer & fed him a couple before Holzer bailed out. Simmonds got a 5 & a 10 for it. I don't think the refs felt like dealing with any bs in a preseason game.

I was also thinking they may have given Wayne the 10 for the really late hit after the whistle that started it all. Holzer really looked aggressive all game. He's a waiver wire potential pick up, IIRC.

Extended highlights of the game for those who want to get a better feel for the game as well as hear the announcers butcher Stolarz's & Raffl's names all night.

I'm 2/3's of the way through watching this. Some notes...
I don't think Couts/Read have spent a second on the PK, which is a smart move. For the most part Laughton and Raffl have been a pair, and PEB and Rinaldo have been a pair on the PK.
The top PP unit is using the same system as our regular top PP.
Akeson is playing the role of Giroux.
Raffl is playing the role of Hartnell.
Simmer = Simmer
Del Zotto is playing the role of Timonen.
Couturier is playing the role of Voracek, except Couts takes the faceoffs.
