Post Games Notes...
Some will hate this but anyone think it was too soon for the Snow family to drop the puck? It's only been 2 weeks and it reminded me of Jake G having a panic attack in the movie Stronger.
Speaking of panicking, hey it's only game 1..relax! Enough of the "it's time to tank" talk, save that for later.
KFC with another season opener goal. Ties NHL record with 6 straight?
No...not Kelly Hrudey on colour!!! Off to great start calling Scheifele "Mike" and saying he had a great year 🤦♂️
Speaking of 55 or is that 8.55, just when I think I have not heard his name, he scores a gritty goal.
Iafallo was solid. That poke at the blue line 🥰
Nino so many chances! Or maybe it was Gabriel 🤷♂️
I liked the 4th line a lot. Captain Barron! /me raises leg. Hard to believe he was under 9 minutes.
Namesy seems almost too good for 4th line but he needs to stop skating backwards.
Kupari(the one LAK who I thought might not make lineup) feels like a young Namesy, which is a good thing right. Then someone said Burmistrov and I nodded. Time will tell. Good speed though.
Best 4th line since Little centered it late 2018?
Ehlers injured again?!? and it's his own fault. Who jumps in the glass like that? This is not MSG and their flakey glass.
Fancy stats: DeMelo +3, five others at -2 and yes Schmidt was one. Perfetti 27% at faceoffs
Let's talk about Kevin...er Nate...yes bad but that whole sequence with the icing was bad to start.
Like the defence, the Sour Play is back with no changes. 0/4
I thought Helle was fine.
And I leave you with these silver linings...
We are tied with the Oilers!
PLD gonna get suspended
