Nice transition. Quinn Wooohooo! As I was saying, Quinn needs to get to the far side of the net-front on that previous Mitts/Tuch transition. Instead he was too close to Tuch. But then we do it again. Way to Tuch it.

Dahlin -- that's the only garbage turnover allowed today, alright? From here on out, it's on.

Ray said excellent job just before the JJP penalty and... what game was he watching? It's been all Florida and the Sabres dumping it at center ice for a line change.

Photon torpedoes are from that other franchise's universe.

Can you just dress the emergency goalie every game? Your equipment manager/emergency goalie on a cap-free deal? Seems like there'd be some rule prohibiting that.

By the All-Star Game, we'll have threads started for every game through the rest of the season (as well as all 16 postseason games). The Panthers are so solid up front, even losing Marchment and with Duclair on IR. I love Forsling and Ekblad, but the rest of that blue line is unimpressive for a team with Cup aspirations.

At that time it would have been Thompson, Asplund, and Bjork. But then Thompson would have been a 3/4 wing on a defense-first Kraken lineup last year instead of a breakout at center.

Hasek's placement will be determined by how the Athletic staff/metrics value goalies and how good the teams around them were. Hasek could be as high as #2. If it's all about Cups and dominant teams then he'll be top 15 with Roy/Brodeur above him.

Because they were all born in 1993? (When the Coneheads movie was released.)

If you need to hack it the old-school way, just add this to the end of the youtube path: &t=#s where # is the number of seconds. For example, &t=90s will start at the 1:30 mark of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mh5aKUGvXM&t=30s (Edit: You can also specify minutes: &t=1m30s)

Stat sheet is looking good after one: G: Weissbach, Murray. A: Malone, Rosen, Kulich, Rousek. And Kozak with a penalty!

Yup. Warren and Olischefski are there. Pekar, nope. I checked Cincinnati and he's not there either. "I don't even work here!" Though, if he's good for the morale of Kulich and Rousek and their off-ice adapting to Rochester, that's good too.

Pekar isn't even on the amerks.com website roster.

True, but he got into 20 games because of injury and posted a .913. He was sliding out of position and flopping a bit too much, but as far as rookie potential he was looking like a future 1B type then.

The ice time is the Power Effect. Bryson was average 18 and 19 min/game almost every month until April last season. Power arrives, Bryson is down to 14:22 ATOI to wrap the season. And that's OK. Power is a top 4, Bryson is a #6. He can still provide meaningful minutes, skate in speedy matchups, and make smart decisions that allow Boushh to go play wrecking ball from time-to-time.

Eichel, Reinhart, Ullmark in 15-16?

Alright... if we get .972 sv% from Anderson in 25-30 games this season, we should be OK. He was excellent on many a turnover rush tonight.

Good start.

ABBA daggers!

ABBA for the dagger.

Definitely. But we must remember that Hagg looked very solid in the first week last season, too, then just faded away.

Asplund, Cozens, and Boushh good on the initial PK shift. Good kill overall.

Now let's get a pass set up to VO or Tager

Dahlin almost. This is a game-turning kill.

With Muel and Boushh in the box, it's Bryson and Dahlin on the PK. Nice clear.
