Sure glad we spent game one on an experiment which could have yielded its disastrous results in the pre-season.

You know, where you're supposed to experiment and where the games don't matter.

This just in. GG knew what he was doing the whole time, but pitied Edmonton so much he decided to gift them a win in their new building.

What will be the excuse if the defense is terrible on Friday? Probably be blamed on the Wideman-Engelland pairing.

Seems like a massive coaching failure that should have been figured out during one of those 7 preseason games. Now we move on

The question now is how do we get Ferland to finish his checks. Everything else from the forwards looked alright

Take Ferland out and put Hamilton in. Ferland needs a fire lit under his arse.

Give Ferland a couple more games. He looked like he was hitting more in pre-season. Was hoping that would continue into the regular season. Coach needs to tell him go out and hit.

Maybe he got the same payoff from Katz that the refs got. Makes me wonder how much that man spent to ensure they won their first game.

In non-tin foil hat news I am glad he is adjusting the pairings. I was all for giving them a shot but it was apparent after the first it wasn't working, sorry he didn't shift them around like he did the forwards.

Onwards and upwards for tomorrow night!

I feel better. Sad for Kulak but if it means he takes Grossmann off the ice with him then I'll live with Wideman/Engelland on the 3rd pairing.
