I'm surprised Gus isn't on PP Unit 1, he did really well on the PP in the last couple months of the season. I like when they played 1-3-1 and I have a good feeling about that first unit. Those 5 could really cause some movement for the PK. - breadbag
They will want Gustafsson and Sikura as options to carry the puck up the ice on that 2nd unit I believe.
On the 1st, they have the option of Kane and Schmaltz to get it in the zone. |

This line from that song, just keeps going through my head this afternoon. I can't wait for puck drop tomorrow!

Goose has (in my opinion) the best shot on the team, and made some nifty “fake shot, slap pass to a stick” plays last year which would be a much needed boost rather than having Keith and his “hesitate, hesitate, shoot into pads” efforts. Goose needs to be let loose and not play with hesitation knowing one mistake could bench him, and IMO the PP is a great place for him. |

I know exactly how you feel. I'm so excited. But I have rudely learned that a 10-1 defeat early in the year isn't always a good indication for the team. |

Interesting thread I see some of us are in mid-season form. |

All I know, is that this year, I am not going to get overly excited if they win the first two games, and not really down if they lose the first two...I'm just going to try to enjoy the ride this season, and try not to have too lofty of expectations...
It will probably last all of 2 minutes...

I know you probably weren't asking me specifically, but I have no idea. I don't tweet, can't even get to the links from twitter that are posted here due to work blocking it.
You think they may try to field a lineup tomorrow that would be close to what they have on opening night (and try to start gaining chemistry already), or more youngsters to try to gauge them?

GP - that's enough. This post has been reported.
Guys and Gals... let's start this season with a little more level headedness and maturity. Once again, I deal with enough of this stuff at home, I don't have the energy to police adults from fighting over hockey.
Please message me directly if you have an issue. - Justin Lowe

Also, I would think this post CLEARLY violates the Hockeybuzz Code of Conduct. Can we get this angry person banned accordingly?? - EnzoD
Or that Troll can go back to the Preds site and join his bunker buddy Rash |

Anisimov was their PPG leader last year. Maybe they are just trying something new because they know what they have in him. He will be back on there at some point is my guess.
Maybe Ejdsell takes the draw on that 2nd unit. - Justin Lowe
Hopefully in Rockford. |

We don't need a mod. Everyone is an adult. Its okay for people to disagree. If they want to act like children while they do, who cares. Just scroll past and ignore them. |

Guess I am going to have to get used to hoping for injuries on the team I like.
Nothing serious. Just enough to keep them out a season. |

Quenneville digging the Hayden-Kruger-Martinsen line. Look for that one to possibly stick for a bit through preseason.
Also, a lot of young guys going to Colunnus for tomorrow's game.

I really want to see them protect that middle and down low area much better. So often last year, guys were beat wide or chasing and nobody had the open man in the dangerous area. Oesterle to me, was the worst offender on the blueline for just leaving guys way too much room to operate. It isn't just the D, a lot of the younger forwards weren't especially solid on backchecking either, but I just hope they can give the goalies more support. - breadbag
One of the best ways to succinctly summarize a defense strategy is the term "shrink the ice" which I remember seeing on the whiteboard in the Northeastern men's hockey team locker room during that Blackhawks documentary about Sikura's path in college to his first NHL game.
When you allow the other team to freely dance and set up, they have a lot of real estate to work with to make plays. Shrink the ice, though, and you limit their options as well as force turnovers and ill-advised plays. I'm sure it's more complicated than that but sounds logical to me. |
