Power made a smart play there to hold it, make sure no forward trailed, and then take the low chance shot.

It depends on the extent of damage and the individual. Overwhelmingly it’s partials now and they will heal in under 6 months.

That’s not good. I don't think so...it's 9 months minimum It’s half that now.

Duffy just said Tuch is in the running for the Rocket Richard trailing Stamkos by one goal. Got to love early season conversations…

Oh God, you’re right. That’s what it is.

When Duffy is talking to the camera during the roll to commercial, Marty just stares into the camera and I feel like he’s staring right into my soul. He doesn’t blink. He’s like a hawk.

Lybushkin just said no.

He heard he needs 82 goals to get Louis Vuitton sponsorship

We all just witnessed Mittelstadt successfully backchecking for a full shift. Naysayers be warned.

Hinostroza looking good again.

Can’t really call high sticking on TT. It’s just sticking at his height.

Dahlin with perfect positioning on the PK there

Girgensons is playing really well this year and doesn’t get enough love.

That was a pretty weak call on the replay.

Dahlin really doesn’t like that redraft or his top 100 ranking.

Is it me or is the puck bouncing a lot?

Yes he did. It’s unfortunate. That’s Vegas Golden Knights legend Maxime Lagace by the way.

Agreed. I just saw that stat line and it didn’t sit with my eye test. I was curious if I was missing something someone else had seen.

Not really, no. Ethan Prow is pretty obvious when he’s on the ice as he is just a good AHL defenseman, but everyone else kind of blends together. Admittedly I was paying more attention to forwards partly because I still haven’t mastered all the jersey numbers. The only defensive situation that really stuck out was when Clague didn’t pick up his man on the second Crunch goal which was set up by Davies (I think but not 100% sure it was him) just horribly misplaying the puck at the blue line originally.

Second and third period amateur scouting report: Kisakov, Kulich and Kozak are all noticeable but for different reasons. Rosen looks good. Cederqvist is something else. Kisakov plays some serious heads up hockey and he has some real speed. He is always scanning when he has the puck. The downside is I think sometimes he looks around too much and doesn’t make the same instinct plays we see from others. It kind of negates his speed in a way. Not sure how to describe it. Kulich kind of reminds me of Peterka but maybe not with the same intensity per se. He has a motor to him. Curious how he’s going to look toward the end of the season when he’s got more ice time in NA under his belt. Kozak is not afraid to hit, get hit or chase the puck. My only criticism is he has carried the puck a few times in transition when he shouldn’t have. I think that’s probably a carryover from Juniors when he could get away with that. Rosen continues to look much better than he did in the SHL or in the preseason. I’m going to admit I may have underestimated him a bit. Looking forward to see how he does across the season. Cederqvist is unreasonably fast for a player of his size. I don’t understand how he’s not on the scoresheet every night other than he seems to disappear at times—which is remarkable considering his size. Kind of an enigma.

Amerks get the go ahead with 3 seconds left. Legace tried to cover the puck and pulled it under him into the net. I don’t know who scored. He made up for the missed call lol

Syracuse ties it 3-3. Centering pass that gets redirected into the net. Can’t fault UPL for that. Second Syracuse goal he overcommitted to the shot on the two on one. I didn’t see the first one.

Weissbach again

It says more about how they feel about the waiver system and Pilut being waivers exempt.

Shots per 60 is up something like 15% in the last 20 years. 35 is the new 40.
