I don’t mind anthems in arena. I like hearing the truth north yell. But it’s sort of manufactured patriotism.  

Is tonight’s game on tv?

Vets usually take most if not all of preseason off as they have nothing to prove. Little/Laine/Ehlers not being sent down.

Heck I didnt think Laine had a good preseason his first time.

Pre-season notes:

- Brossoit's mask reminds me of Stephane Beauregard - so I'm scared everytime there's a shot

- Stanley is not 'steady', he is slow and rarely makes it past centre...

- Niku should make the big team - better than Morrow and Chiarot

- Petan Dano Lemieux played well...  would be a nice fourth line

- Like the Roslo line - not sure about Perrault on RW though

And yeah Little Ehlers Laine is just as underwhelming as last year

[iHeart]

yes it sounds like the guys that don't score that often did their jobs last night, I wish I watched the whole thing, but the emmys were just SO eventful, I caught the game during commercial breaks, was able to see Dano's goal

Stanley was very good last night.. Anyone who thinks otherwise has a huge axe to grind for some reason. Slow? WTF? He made several plays due to his size strength and speed. 

.

Thought Stanley Vesa Lemieux Roslo Perreault were all very good. Brossoit was unbeatable.. Looked like Helle a bit... Strong positioning

I must have missed Stanley's speed plays - I thought he played well positionally, still a bit weak in the corners but held his own in front of the net

But I really never saw Stanley making an impact across centre... and he was always cheating a bit to retreat into his zone - thats not going to cut it in the NHL...  but I'm def not writing him off - maybe in a couple years - he's a shot blocker...

All accounts are Stanley is slow. Maybe it’s relative to the overall high team speed of the Jets. But saying that those sane accounts have him looking solid and making good plays. Is strong and nasty. 

Based on one game I’d suspect he spends the year wirh the Moose to ripen.  

Petab...I don’t know.  

On Vesa:

Sounds like high praise for Armia 2.0.

I think Buff has Toomuchicetimeitis.

Not a good time for Petan to miss out...  

[rebusrankin]

I hear Armia is a poor man's Vesa.
