My guess, Lazar is the guy who sits in the press box, practices with the team and plays if injuries permit. Like Hunwick last year, he is a veterans that hangs around. Always good to have a guy around that works hard and will do anything to stay in the league.

This was probably the best pre-season game I've ever watched. If they come out in regular season and show this level of togetherness, hard work and smart hockey, this game will have been a sign of things to come. I hope it was not just a blip

Great interview and the one from this morning. He sure loves Zimgus! They are all at the Bills game today

Injuries I wonder if Mittelstadt goes to Rochester

Alright! Nice game, Ralph has them playing together. Good feel good win I hope it carries over to opener.

What a dumb penalty

We might have knocked two good players out of their line up

How come they don’t interview our players like this more?? This is interesting, both the interviews were great

Z!!

Disk golf? Is that what he said?

That would have to of been a conspiracy then

Tage draws one. I bet he stays

Ralph has them ready to play

Looks like Pitt has there A team out there! Oh no

Maybe because we play Pittsburg in a few days and Kruger wants him to play against Malkin (if he is in lineup) so the kid feels more comfortable in opening game. Just a guess

So, four of that group of forwards will not be on the team next week, I assume. Elie, Asplund, Wilson and...

He seriously has looked that good, but will it last?

A lot will depend on how well Skinner plays with someone other than Jack. If Skinner is a dud on his own, that's going to be a bummer, even if Goalofsson kills it

@Taro TWe are here for you if you need someone to talk to. Life takes funny turns sometimes, so we will get over this together. ?

Any news on when Montour will be back? Even with a couple of major injuries, we still are putting out a pretty good defensive squad. The addition of Miller was really nice. Casey Nelson has been a real pleasant surprise. He got better every year in the organization. Not great, but a good player to plug in there when needed.

The only way I can see him possibly getting in the line up is if both Mitts and Tage get sent down to get a lot of ice time. But even then I think I'd want Lazar in the line up. It would not surprise me if he just sits from now on, though.

Totally agree

My only thing is that Skinner is an individualist whereas Olofsson looks like he would benefit more from great passing.

Skinner makes things happen by himself in many instances. I like putting him out there with guys who will tilt the ice so he Skinner has more opportunities to create scoring chances. Johansson seems to fit that bill, while OK is a good player along the boards.

I'm open to trying anything. I'd like to give Skinner-Johansson-Okposo a try to see if it works, but would be ready to pull the plug on it if it is not a serious scoring threat regularly. But I like that top line together
