I thought the team looked great.
Halák was terrific. Gillies was not, but then again the surprise here is that one goalie in this game actually looked better than average. It’s the preseason, and they have only had one skate.
Brodano was excellent, as were Hamonifin. I was pleasantly surprised by Hamonic: he looked faster and more assertive. Stone was not great, and Kulak played bad.
Czarnik and Ryan really stood out, the top line looked good, and Lindholm fit that group like a glove. There already feels to be some chemistry between him and Gaudreau. Neal was quiet and Backlund looked very average, but who cares?
This team is going to be really good.
