Kane's line can't play against any team's top line. They will be hemmed in their own zone for a long period of time.

I don't see the smurf line sticking and find myself looking forward to the shifts of lines 3 and 4.

Two players right next to each other in the defensive zone way to many times already

Toews line is hounding the poop out of the puck. Those three are playing well together.

Eddie how are they tired if they are just standing in front of the net to defend

Ya thats why I like the work effort from the lower lines but Dinky and Kane could use some physical support.

Eddie doesn't know hockey like you, Dots.

Switch out Johnson and Whats up.

Nice play by Strome and Borgstrom, wild had 3 defenders in the area, well earned goal

Borg from Strome!

Another turnover by Kurashev, i guess those don't matter to this board

Adb!!

Wow nice pass by Jones then Kane

They might have something here with Dach Borgstrom and Strome

I like seeing 3 guys around MAF, i hope this becomes a constant thing

Dach, Borgy and Hagel is where it's at, Dots.

Toews line matched against Kaprisov. He is great but he has to work a lot harder than the last game.

Until those three guys screen Flower on a goal. Then.......look out below........

Agreed, but they will be fun offensively. I'm glad that Adb has improved his defensive side of the game because they will need it.

17 shots against? We're doomed.

Fleury looking great. He looked down a little bit early on that poor change, but has come back pretty well.

Asking for Strome to raise his compete level. A higher compete level and a motor that is running hotter than idle can offset his lack of speed. Not in love with his game, but giving him another look.

He should give them a good shot to improve, imo. He's pretty good.

Last I checked goals are more important than shots. Defense is 5 players working together. With so many new players if they can just start the season playing decent defense and then get better as they get use to each other we can probably win some games.
