I think Granato will try to protect that pairing a bit more when the season starts.

How?

And I think I’m going to like Cousin Vinnie.

Nice goal.

He wants them together as an eventual top pairing though.  He's said as much. 

Don't give a flying flip for what he "wants," if something doesn't work, change it.

Tokarski continues to look sharp and I don't know whether to laugh or cry

[SwampD]

WhoTF is Hayden?!

It’s encouraging… But just remember it’s against a mostly AHL team 😂

And I think he will if it doesn't work.  But he said he's gonna try it.  I trust him to change it up if the pairing becomes a tire fire.

Laugh. It’s the better alternative. Not sure about the relative endorphin release though. But there’s beer for that. 

[Doohicksie]

Thompson line looking dangerous (to Pittsburgh I mean).

Penalty

DeSmith is in net & Letang was on the ice for that 2nd goal.

Nice play by Quinn catching that pass and getting past d man and drawing penalty 

[dudacek]

Tage has created more chances than any other Sabre over the pre-season.

Carter beat him pretty easily but hit post 

[darksabre]

Colin Miller killing a guy is why we keep him around

Oh dear God! What is this one? A cultural reference I don’t know? 

It’s from the TV show “Community”. It was a really funny show and it still holds up.

Scoring version of John Scott.

Well, considering he's about the only guy besides Cozens & Peterka that played nearly every game ...

I’m pretty confident that boy will be a pretty good hockey player once he becomes a man.

[bob_sauve28]

Interference?

And to think, if the guy doesn't turn to block that shot, it goes harmlessly off his shin pad.

[Zamboni]

Yea! We made it through an entire period without a goal against!

[Doohicksie]

Powerplay looked good except not enough shooting.  Great control though.

[dudacek]

Hard not to like Peterka.

Yeah, but it wasn't crosschecking, so....

[darksabre]

That power play looked decent

Blocking shots is above my pay grade
