I know that it's only preseason but holy smokes does Shane Pinto look better and better every game. I think Ottawa's in a pretty good place down the middle for the next 7 years.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

I know which save you're talking about. It was hot.

I mean Miller, Pettersson, Hughes, demko and kinda Horvat aren't a bad start at all, it's just basically the entire rest of the roster that is varying combinations of overpaid/underproducing/just not that good. Shut down those 4-5 and the rest of the roster just doesn't seem to have the tools to take advantage of any extra space that might give them

Absolutely. They had some good looks in the first game against Seattle, but Demko was the only person really going in the 1st tonight. He made quite a few great saves and it could have been a lot worse than 3 GA.

I think I was referring to Demko, but that would also have been the answer for the question.

I just finished listening to the Chicago broadcast trying their very best to talk positively about the rebuild that is definitely happening. Meanwhile, they gave up two short handed goals and had about 12 shots all game. The Chicago Dumpster Fire has been lit with gasoline.

It's kind of a funny thing when I watch the game and then check Nat Stat to see if the numbers match up with what I'm seeing and it sort of causes me to reevaluate. Prior to checking Nat Stat I was thinking the Pens were a bit sloppy, but mostly the better. Nat Stat has Detroit with a solid corsi, shot, and chance advantage. Like 60/40. Adjusting for all situations and everything becomes close to 50/50.

Checking the breakdowns and jfc Pettersson/Petry have 1 shot for 5v5 and 13/16 against. The top 6 forwards are posting really bad splits. I *thought* it had been more even than that, but going through in my head....yeah Sid's line has been very bad 5v5. Malkin has been noticeable for trying to dangle and then turning it over. Preseason and all, but that Petry/Pettersson pairing is ugly.

Malkin doesn't touch that puck that's a hilariously blown delayed offside.

detroit's broadcast was ranked the best in the league in an athletic poll this year which i thought was surprising.

Tage Thompson punching a dude during a preseason game was hilarious.

Not as hilarious as Dylan Cozens scoring a shortie. Sabres are dunking on Carolina’s b-team which is cool to watch but idk how helpful it is for them as a squad.

It's a good sign that the Sabres A squad is dunking on the Canes B-squad. In not so distant seasons past there would have been little talent difference between the Sabres A and Canes B.

They aren’t looking so hot in the third. Carolina is trying very hard now and the Sabres are having trouble adjusting.

I think the Sabres got cocky after dominating the first 2 periods and took their foot off the gas and decided to coast in the 3rd. Seizing the opportunity the Canes tweeners auditioning for an NHL roster spot played their asses off in the 3rd. Sabres allowed 2 quick ugly goals and then started trying again and kinda clamped it down and ended up winning by 2 goals.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

I'm at Nationwide there's a surprisingly big crowd here.

I don't hate the Safelite logos on the jerseys, which almost look from a distance that they could be an Adidas or other apparel brand logo.

Johnny Gaudreau makes his play look so effortless, which I've only seen of one other player in 16 years of watching this team.

Also, that Chinny goal was sick.

E- I'm glad Jake remembered he's allowed to shoot.

The Kraken have the 8-bit sound with the Popeye theme jingle that took me the first couple times. It’s different enough, but it reminded me of the Avs using the Mario mushroom too.
