I thought the Dome looked the best of any arena I have seen so far. The red tarps, Retro striping, pretty darn good.
Nice uninterruptive helmet logos. The best in the league
I have to say that I like a lot of what Tre got done with the roster this off season
- Nesterov is good, lots of poise. Very solid addition
- Tanev plays with a high level of compete. As someone else mentioned, he is looking like what we hoped Hamonic would have been. (I laugh that we have Tanev, and Vancouver got Hamonic. Big upgrade)
- Simon impressed in his limited time. I’d like to see more of him
- Markstrom has been solid and played an efficient game
The power play has looked really good.
Lindholm is reading plays well. That pass to Johnny in game 1 took a lot of people by surprise.
I really like how Tkachuk moved from screen to giving Lindholm a quick pass target, deftly popped it in to the slot for Monahan who used his quick release. Not a garbage goal like some people said in the game thread (although GTs are not for the faint of heart, at any rate)
Also Dube is looking really sharp, and Mangiapane’s behind the back pass was a beauty.
So much to like about the team so far this season
