Derek ryan great behind the net in the O zone. Dube not looking out of place. Brodie was the worst flame. Love this brand of hockey, defencemen pressuring forwards in neutral zone, high forward filling the defensive lane
I agree with everyone saying the style of game is just more fun to watch. Last year was a bit of a grind.
My favorite play so far was Lindholm outmuscling the Sharks D to cause a 2 on 1 and then burying Gaudreau's gorgeous pass.
Valimaki looks capable out there. His skating looks great and he has some swagger.
The 3M line is still controlling the puck down low better than anyone out there.
Monahan has had a pretty quiet night and Smith has been good outside of maybe that first one. The end of the period came at a good time as they yielded momentum in the last 5 minutes.
Feeling good about this lineup. Andersson for Stone would be my only change. Maybe Mangiapane for Dube too.... hard to say... need to see him again.
Made some great plays pinching on his backhand as well. I am very optimistic he’ll bounce back now that he’s back with Gio and on his off side.
I'm very encouraged by Brodie so far this preseason, and equally discouraged by Hamonic. I hope he proves me wrong this season, but his turnovers and positioning seem like they're already making life difficult for Hanifin.

With Hamonic's 2 point game so far, I hope you're discouraged by him more often!
