Only took a lil over a period for hawks to be physically dominated. We even have our lil bit of toughness in the lineup.
But after Mcclrath lays out a hawk the redwings start taking some good runs out there. At least for the preseason get a big guy who will throw down and keep others honest.
If we didnt have seabs mcclrath would be a ideal 6th 7th dman. I dont think he could play forward though. Just few picking with tough guys man I miss real old time hockey. Preseason use to be cant miss.

Need 1 more for whipping boy bingo!

What happened to The Cat?!

Not as long as Smith is around. Lehner has potential, too.

Not a great goal, but a couple great saves before the goal.

Shaw with the forecheck, Strome with the vision, and Holm with the snipe.

He locked knees with someone but he’s back now phew!

I’m thinking Holm might be a sleeper that we missed.

Erik Karlsson comparisons offensively aren't too far-fetched with Boquist. Give him a Defense-First partner and let him play his game...creating goals. The goal last night was insane skill...he batted the puck out of the air 2-3 times to corral the puck then sniped far side high on the wrap-around.

I think beaudin would compliment him. Beaudin has looked pretty solid defensively.

Kubalik looks good.

funny how #8 Kubalik plays left wing, but then when he is left out there with the cat and Strome, he scores when he drifts to slot on right wing side...

Big assist for Perlini....showing his new playmaking skills he worked on all off season

Kubalik looks good.

I completely agree with you. His first one timer in period 1 looked like cat shooting .

Glad to see him get rewarded.

Early on in his defensive end, he got rag dolled; I don't know if it was the small ice surface and misjudging bt he seemed ripe for the picking more than once...but I have a free: that last first team pp looked like NHL players with 8 & 48 on the points...

It will be Connor Murphy immediately after the Seabrook venom is all used up.

It could be the Sikura Lovers Vs. Sikura Haters

He played 63 AHL games 42 with the Comets 21 with the Wolves during the 2017/18 season before heading back to the KHL.

You dare question the mighty Sikura?

The more I see Dahlstrom - I more I don't like him. He has a difficult time handling the puck along the boards so he gets pinned along the boards a lot and when that happens he might as well just hand the puck to the opposing player because he doesn't have the hand/eye coordination to win the puck. Koekkoek is no prize but if I had to pick between Dahlstrom and Koekkoek for 7th d-man - Koekkoek is the easy pick for me.

He will be dealt with appropriately by the Hockey Gods.

I like his chances better than number 11's.

Darvish is dealing

I’d pick Holm at this point!

11 strikeouts in 4 innings. 3 runs, though.

I think he just struck out 8 in a row. But is almost at 60 pitches so Joe has to pull him to get the bullpen involved

Not a great goal, but a couple great saves before the goal.
- EnzoD

Neither were great goals. He isn't very athletic.

I would take Gilbert over either one of these two. He was +2 last night with Boqvist.
- FourOrr

Boqvist was WHY he was a plus 2
