This is going to be a fun season!
How people can expect the players to automatically gel and dominate is beyond me.
The little things I was very happy with:
Brody knocked someone OFF the puck. I don't think that happened at all last year.
Neal was clipped and there was an immediate response by his team mates. That continued through out the game in every scrum. Something else that didn't happen often last year.
Tkachuk may be a bit rusty but he's picking up right where he left off last year.
Gillies never seems to play like he's 6'-6".
The new additions are exciting because the skill has improved a little and the speed has improved a lot.
This could be Halaks best game of the year
