  1. Sedins were slow skaters in the beginning. Once they got the speed going they adjusted and could really play the game with impossible passes and elevate the connection of knowing where the other is going to be without looking. Amazing stuff really....Reporters froms weden thought the sedins wouldbe 40-ish points per season players due to their slow skating.
  2. I had big expectations on Miller and he definetly has delivered. Hes been great all preseason and inded the best player of the night. Thank to his addition Bo might get a career year. Other teams will have to cover 2 lines and petey is bound to get the heaviest attention of those lines. I expect 60+ points from miller.
  3. Peteys line got shut down quite well last game imo.....like mentioned is gonna be a tough sophmore year so hoping for some creativity and the points will come with time.
  4. feels like on repeat her...but Edler is gonna be HUGE for nucks D again this season. He is never this good in any other team or anywhere else. Its like his game is elevated when playing with the nucks.
  5. Sutter and leivo had great preseason games and Eriksson is allround and that line looks very interesting in my eyes. Im a bit worried about the development of Jake being on the 4th line though.....hes a 3rd liner that should transition into a 2nd liner if he manages to take that next step in his development. None the less...the season is long and this is only the start....
  6. Hmmm...finally...finally..finally. Now that autumn has arrived the one great thing is that hockeyseason finally starts. On the coilers side i see an intersting addition that i know quite well from the SHL Joakim Nygard, hes got some serious drive in his skating and a nose for the net so as a swede thats exciting stuff. Personally im really excited to finally see how Peteys preseason training has paid off and how the new lines fit together as a team. Im hoping for the best....where the young guys take the game to a new level and the new additions find perfect chemistry. If so then its definetly playoff time....Lets go Nucks!
  7. Myers-Edler QH-Tanev Benn-Stecher Fantenberg Well...if anyone gets injured *coughtanevcough* he will definetly get to prove his worth. D is actually looking pretty decent this year. Thank god. Hope it improves the opening passes from D to Forwards that are moving in speed. I still have nightmares about that after watching some of the games last year
  8. A new face on the roster, instead of biega whom i thought would have been the reserve. Fantenberg is that good already? must have been doing something right during training camp, so this is an interesting addition.
  9. Well he was close to getting a spot last season also, if the staff saw something during this training camp im not surprised he took a spot on the team. Only shocker is that its on the cost of Baer. His results were good so im just trying to figure out where to place Gaud. Ferland-Petey-Boeser Pearson/leivo-Bo-Miller Leivo/pearson-Sutter-Gaud/Virtanen Eriksson-Beagle-Motte/Roussel Seems rather legit, but who plays and who becomes the reserve? day to day practice decides?
  10. If his injury is what gets him sent down its ofc sad but understandable from a GM point of view. Quality wise i still say hes got the skills to be a threat for the oposition. Morseso then many others. If a team feels like they could take a chance with that then hes gonna get nabbed pretty soon.
  11. chances are pretty big that goldy ends up with another team and fits in there perfectly. Top 2 lines are full and goldy is a top 2 line type of player so its hard to get to that position if ur not highly skilled and also fights for it hard enough. kinda sad to see him go since hes talented but aparently hes not the type of player or not developed the right way to fit in.
  12. Now this was a real shocker to me....i could never consider omoving Baer. Did he not look good enough at camp? Gaudette was so good they wanted to go for him instead? Goldobins move i an understand if they dont see any difference now compared to earlier and they want more development from him. But Baer...hes got the skill and the qualities needed to be a scoring threat.
  13. Lol.....theres no way in hell hes being sent down or even to consider it. Hes good enough but needs to improve in the Dzone but his individual skills is great and that is potential on the way to greatness. Offensively hes gonna rack up some nice numbers for sure, so its going to be interesting to see how he developes in those areas.
  14. Edler is awesome so far...that dish to peteys slapper is EXACTLY what is needed. That is how i want QH to watch and learn so he can learn the timing between the perfect pass and when to shoot. Jus tlike Edler. brilliant...
  15. Well i could be wrong but those that fight for a spot on the roster could easily get overexcited and do stupid things. That hit is from behind, a bit late and too close to the boards. like mentioned i would have loved seeing Ferland on the ice at that point, coz thats not ok. No dirty plays against a star player during off-season. Concussion Protocol in the middle of the preseason and brock arrived late so this is not a good thing. On a positive note i think Miller is a great addition to the PP and Leivo still got a connection with Brock and Petey so options are still there in case Ferland gets a game misconduct
  16. i definetly like what im seeing from Leivo so far, hes been good during the pre-season games just as he was good last season.
  17. not that id complain if u were right but i prefer to think down to earth so i dont get disappointed. Ill quote u on that when the season is over
  18. I think Erik Karlsson in the way he moves. It will be kinda difficult to make the adjustment for his teammates due to his offensive and skating capabilities. Concerning his points, Dahlin had 44 points, last years nr 1. To expect 50-70 points from him is silly. 40 is not impossible though, and id say thats a fantastic effort none the less. if he gets more then 30 id be happy enough, especially if he manages to improve in the Dzone more then the last games of last season. Dont want him -50 and with 30 points...thats not good for the team.
  19. Last year alex definetly had some good games but also some bad ones with terrible passing plays. Hes on the verge of making it but im not sure. Myers-Edler QH-Stecher Benn-Tanev whos to go? without a doubt there will be injuries and i wouldnt mind seeing biega there for sure. Question is who has made the best impression during camp and who deserves to be the reserves? Biega is one name that simply must be one of the strongest candidates in any case.
  20. a lineup right now would be, Ferland-Petey-Brock Pearson/Baer-Bo-Miller Baer/Pearson-Sutter-Virtanen Leivo-Beagle-Loui Hard to see gaud, goldy, motte, roussel unless ur looking for specific roles to fill. Injuries will most likely occur and thats where gaud will fit in. But the competition is tight compared to last season.
  21. hm...no Horvat, miller or ferland but the best line from last year with leivo reunited with brock and petey looks like a safe bet. Interesting line with Pearson-gaudette-goldobin. lots of offense there.
  22. Laine wont go anywhere. If u got a potential +40 goalscorer on ur roster and u got rights for him, u aint gonna pass that player up unless its unreasonable salary e is asking for. That he makes stupid comments is not exactly improving his place in the team but none the less he will most likely end up with a bridge deal.
  23. I think this could be a career year for Horvat. Miller and him could be a great match and then u got goldy/baer/Leivo/Pearson to add to the mix. If goldy has matured he could fit in there nicely.
  24. steal deal for nucks...thats below his value imo but super stoked to have Brock back. Kinda afraid what value his next contract will be though....jesis. But for the next 3 years we are blessed by his sniping skills and Petey finally has his partner in crime back. Thank god it worked out so well.
  25. this feels like a disaster...the longer brock is away from training camp and the team, the harder it will be for him to get into gameshape....
