Really good shot but Jarry was not in the best position to even have a chance to save it.

EK is some passer. Our forwards better be ready to receive these passes.

Chances are very high that the team will never again have banana bread pre-game.

Would like to see more from the bottom 6 guys, if you aren’t going to score then you should be hitting the, constantly. But they are just kind of there.

Z almost wrangled that pass from Karlsson, hoping he looks good out there in the top 6 while Jake is out to stay up in the NHL.

Agreed about the bottom six. Especially after Acciari got lit up by Tkachuk. Problem is Acciari is really the only physical guy in the bottom six.

Was I hallucinating or did Sullivan have our decrepit member of the skating dead, Carter, playing RW on the 3rd line

I just hope that Sully finally gives in and doesn't give Carter a sweater for 82 games. We have some decent bottom 6 defensive players, there's no need to dress him every game.

Seeing the number 55 on a forward is giving me cognitive dissonance.

Rough, sloppy period.

I know it’s just the pre season but I would love to see Acciari hit someone.

If Zohorna doesn’t make the team over Accari and Nieto (and all the other fringe guys) and get more ice time than Carter there is something very, very wrong.

Not seeing anything from Smith either. That’s a bigger issue than the league minimum guys not doing anything special.

A lot of guys look like garbage tonight. Geno as well. Think this trip to Halifax was more of a vacation for the crew. They've been there since Thursday apparently.
