And considering Anderson probably can't play more than 30, he could get 40-50 games. Could've been worse. Could still have Hutton getting those minutes. And what was Tokarski’s save % last season? Quality goaltending at its finest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 kind of sucks to have a shoot out after you lose the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the league will decide to not use the taxi goalie like they'd be discussing & save Adams from himself by picking up somebody's (or a couple somebodies) 3rd best goalie.

dudacek Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I think we are starting to see the shine start to fade for most of the new guys. Murray uses his size, but can't keep up. Quinn's got great hockey sense but can't fight through Lukkonnen looks the part but he's letting pucks go through him. Weissbach's got the flash but he's not doing much away from the puck Dell, Hagg, Pysyk and Butcher look like their reputations. Peterka's been the best of the lot but that's two straight games he's flashed, then disappeared for large chunks. And from the returnees with promise, Bryson seems to have regressed, Cozens looks passive, and Tage, well, he Taged. On the bright side, Asplund seems to have come back strong and R2 seems to have taken a positive step - centre seems to fit him. Let's hope Joker, Casey and Dahlin show some progress as well tomorrow. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Personally I take little seriously from preseason games. Unless I see the same thing from the same player for several games. After this coming weekend, a better picture will emerge regarding a few of these guys. Not a complete picture, but certain things will come into focus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumph_communes Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hayden looked bad. Butcher was pretty meh All the numbers in the 70s are confusing me Thomoson got some noticeable jump to his first step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(No, not really. It was likely just a typo on his part. But it "sounds" good. 😉 ) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
