Dater says that Girard and EJ got "beat up pretty badly" by Seguin's line. Admittedly I didn't watch the whole game but I did watch a good chunk of it and didn't see that. Is he seeing things or it really happened?

Good because if he was bad in a pre-season game we would have to start arguing about trading him for an upgrade.

Seguins line beats up almost everyone. Definitely had moments where the soderberg line couldnt do a thing, but it wasnt a killing

It was a sloppy game, mostly by the forwards defensively. EJ and Girard didn't get beat up, that's ridiculous. They were only on the ice for one goal against, and Seguin's line wasn't even on the ice.
The Nemeth-Barberio pairing was the one that had the tough night. Nemeth was on the ice for 4 goals against, and Barberio 3.
Play By Play
The only thing people should be looking for out of EJ in pre-season is if he's healthy and moving around the ice well. He looks fine in that regard. We should all know by now he's a very good defenseman when healthy.
Watched plays here and there, but didn't watch the whole game since my stream kept cutting off and on a couple of times.
- Varlamov made some good saves, but looked really shaky at times. He's probably going to be the start for game one, but not sure he has been better than Grubauer.
- It seemed that Barberio was on the ice for every Stars goal, not sure if it was pure coincidence or if he was to blame, but that's what I noticed.
- Landeskog and Rantanen were both wonderful, but I thought Girard was the best player on the ice for me.
- Calvert was fantastic.
- I think O'Connor needs some AHL seasoning, but perhaps from this training camp he has enough talent to find his way as a Gork replacement one day.

Eh, what? It was boring because it was preseason, but that was a very fun game to watch - a ton of offence, not a lot of defense.

I remember when Grigorenko dominated in preseason. Good times

And Mackinnon produces more than Greg Zanon.....
What's your point?
Coz Grig's performance didn't translate to the season proper, Kerfoot's performance won't?
Sorry, I don't buy that mate. It's a little glass half empty stuff.

I didn't watch the third period but it hadn't happened in the first two. At least not constantly. I liked EJ in this game, he was much more focused than in the game before. Girard was good, too.

He just said theres a chance that the preseason performance does not automatically translate into the reg. season. Jeez.
