  1. Was at the game. My observations ... The entire team was rusty. Timing was off. - Petey was the best player, a true QB. - Rathbone looked comfortable but rusty - Podz was more active and significant as the game evolved. - Martin was good despite the goals. - Silovs was great in last period. Looks like a pro - Lockwood was overpowered physically. - Kuzmenko looked better from period to period. His spin move fooled the opposition. Thought he may have been trying too hard for most of the game. - Schenn had a couple nice hits. Hopefully Mikheyev is ok. And ... despite how it looked on TV ... Arsenau made himself known - broke up plays on D, was physical, took penalties, and dominated that fight. It was obvious he was trying to make an impression. Overall, it just seemed like being ready out of the gate could still be a challenge. But it's split squad pre-season ... Not worried.
  2. Arsenau's broken up several plays on D ... Takes two penalties negates his good play. Overall ... We're rusty.
  3. Just bought cheap tix for today at home. I've never been this pumped to see a pre-season game EVER. Can't wait to hear "Bruce, there it is" and get a look at Mikheyev and Kuz. Actually excited to see Martin in net.
  4. If an underachieving Brock Boeser gets $6.65, an achieving Bo Horvat should be getting $7 per.
  5. Good vibes all around so far ... I also remember Bruce, during a late season press conference, saying he believes both OEL and Garland will be better in their second season with the club.
  6. Haven't seen the team this focused at training camp in a long while. Night and day from last season with TG focused on auditioning fringe 4th liners. Bruce has the guys trying to find chemistry as early as possible. Also ... It's crazy how bringing in bonafide experience in Bruce and JR changes the tone of this team from complacent to focus with real belief they can win.
