How would she know he isn't a good Minnesota boy?
Meh.
Honestly thought she was going to bitch about something when her sentence started with Jesus Christ.
Carrick continues to show a very nice set of skills. Leivo is pushing for a spot. Holland just didn't seem to be in the flow of the game from the beginning. From the D only Percy has really shown anything, Granberg has had a very poor camp. Holzer has been everywhere but seems like the 7th spot is his now.

Preseason blah blah blah
The defense was atrocious and I hope they lock this shit up now because they can't be scoring 6 goals a nice to get a win.
+
Phaneuf on the left looked good
Offense spread around
PK was active and did ok (but this is the Sabres...)
Carrying the puck into the offensive zone with confidence
-
Still chipping it out and losing possession
Still dumping it in too much for my liking
Defensive zone coverage was terrible overall
Bad penalties
Sigh...gonna be a looooooooooooooooooooong season...

Hard to tell unless they have a nice Tupperware container of hotdish at hand.
Ha. I hear 'Jesus Christ's often enough at work. Decent amount of little kids with super religious families that bless me for a good day and pray for me to have a good weekend. I won't complain even if it is a bit odd.

Why's Iginla playing like such a Bruin?
I was going to say, he still has the Boston stink on hi. Hopefully he loses it after playing in Colorado for bit I want to like him again.
Nothing has changed.

hahaha, what a loser.
I agree I just find the disparity in SOG a bit funny with how bad the current sabres roster is supposed to be.

Welp we're 0-4 in the pre-season now, season over.
They were bad last year too and we could barely manage a win against them.

Soooo, why did you spend $12.25 million a year on Orpik and Niskanen?

Most of the kids played pretty well, surprised they beat the Av's with only 4 NHLers. Pretty excited for the amount of kids that can be called up this year if someone falls off, lots of great inner competition.
Yep and I know a lot can change but I can't even imagine how much trouble they will give the leafs in several years time when their ridiculous pool of prospects develop and mature.

Most of players have spent the last 2+ seasons learning Carlyle's uniquely shitty brand of Old Timey hockey, so it's going to take a while for things to improve.
And that's even if they can improve with Carlyle around. I get the feeling that the senior players on the roster won't change, or rather, buy in to the changes until there's a new head coach.

Miller and Ericsson share a shutout, Canucks win 3-0. It was a stacked team so the outcome isn't that surprising. They even scored twice on the power play.

I think Jensen and Horvat might make the team. Would push a lot of guys down the line-up if they do.
Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Burrows-Bonino-Jensen
Higgins-Vey-Kassian
Matthias-Horvat-Hansen
Richardson-Dorsett
Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Burrows-Bonino-Jensen
Higgins-Vey-Kassian
Matthias-Horvat-Hansen
Richardson-Dorsett
Why waste Horvat on the 4th line? And I remember them saying on sportsnet that Richardson would play C and Horvat might play wing. Also hope Shinkaruk stays.
Don't think that's possible though so probably something like
Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Higgins-Bonino-Jensen
Horvat/Shinkaruk-Vey-Burrows
Matthias-Richardson-Kassian
Who knows. I think two of Shinkaruk/Jensen/Horvat make the team but not sure which two. Optimally our third line would be Shinkaruk-Horvat-x, but that's sadly not a realistic option. Dat chemistry though

But now you're just wasting Kassian on the 4th line. Keep in mind, the Canucks 4th line this year will probably play 10-12 minutes a night, so it's not like Horvat'll get the Torts treatment and play 3 mins per game.Why waste Horvat on the 4th line?

I think they'll keep Horvat since he'll be wasted in junior. Jensen and Shinkaruk can play in Utica.
Exactly, Bo's learned all that he can in junior.
He was was brought in to make the team tougher.

The big laugh of the day after practice yesterday came when Voracek responded to a question about the first time he saw Jaromir Jagr play in person. He said it was during the 1994-95 NHL lockout when Jagr played for Kladno in the Czech Extraliga. Fellow Kladno native Voracek's parents took him to see the game.
Marveling at the fact that Jagr is still going strong in the NHL some 20 years later, Voracek quipped, "He was winning Art Ross Trophies, and I was still breastfeeding."
Overhearing from his locker stall next to Voracek's teammate Matt Read said, "Wait, you were still breastfeeding at 15?"
"No," said Voracek. "I was five. I was a baby."
Read and Claude Giroux grinned and just shook their heads.
