Nikita Zadorov I think he makes The Third Man

Rasmus Ristolainen You know who was really close too: Alex Nylander

Next step for us? Spring the trap

Maybe it takes the bigger guys longer to get up to speed, like Bowser in Mariocart…most of our core guys are more less giants.. regardless, and either way, it’s only one game

No, there’s no middle ground The expectation in year 4 of a GM term is playoffs Going young, I cannot stress this enough: by choice, doesn’t change that. By that logic you could ice a team of rookies every year indefinitely and supposedly never have any expectations.

Reinhart played his 9 games at 18, at least started them at 18, his birthday is in November

Levi has had a few quite nice saves and no stinkers getting beat by Panarin is expected degree of difficulty upgrade and he’ll have to find a different rhythm for those shots

It’s the same reason the “we’re icing 2 rooks” thing doesn’t carry much weight- we are icing them, of course, by choice

“delayed penalty actually a goalie pull” our commentary team will presumably ramp up shortly as well

Dan jinxes Tage in real time you cannot teach this stuff

Kinda wished we started on the road, the splits from last year seemed to favourite it. it’s one hockey game, not taking too much from it personally

It’ll take time to adjust to the new PP coach

Shawn Michaels level sell by Peterka. That’s a real skill. Impressive Sh*t

Face off is a must

I think Randall mentioned (re: the very early returns) that the start looked similar to last season. Similar roster yielding similar start isn’t exactly surprising That’s a nice save by DL

Nothing better than that nervous sounding little cheer you hear when your tender makes a nice save when your team is losing. Nervous to make any real sound but instinctively they KNOW they gotta make a LITTLE noise its hockey season

That’s a nice save by DL

That’s a nice save from DL

Benson isn’t actually young looking and small we are all just old looking and fat

Dahlin pp assist Tuch a bit later OT?

Which is to say, I think that’s a great idea @Randall Flagg. I think the biggest reason teams don’t convert is because the whole thing gets disjointed being spread over 2 periods. But that’s purely anecdotal on my part

The next team to cash in with “the benefit of fresh ice” to start a period will be the first team to cash in with the benefit of fresh ice to start a period

It’s the 20s no lead is safe

Panarin beat him clean. Levi has been fine

It’s Halloween month …. … BOO! EXPECTATIONS! they can be scary
