Filip Hronek switches from No. 24 to No. 17. He’s in tonight along with group of other young players inc. Sulak, Hicketts (who played last night), Svechnikov, Givani Smith, Pope, Turgeon.
Veterans playing include Vanek, Athanasiou, Nyquist, Nielsen, Helm, Glendening
Can't find who will be in goal but i presume it will be Bernier.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Zadina, AA, Vanek line. That could be very interesting.

honorable mentions to;
Libor Sulak. Heck of a skater, big and strong, this could be a prospect for later this season. But someone will have to tell him that he is a defenseman, its nice to support to offense but it took me a whole period to realize that he was a defenseman !
Other honorable mention Givani Smith. Not the same player as last year, he is ready, or close to be, for a role on the 4th line, might be later this year too.
Disappointment now… Philip Zadina. He was a step behind everyone the whole night. Started on the line with Vanek and AA, Then in the third je joined Neilsen and Nyquist then later he joigned...the Bench ! Thank you Blashill !! that game was so important. Zadina didnt play the last 10 minutes ! Zadina is not ready, its only one game but he couldnt react to the speed of the NHL and at times he look sloppy.
Mention to Rybak in goal too. Look solid and calm. He didnt get to many quality chances but still i like him now.
Hicketts a terrible turnover for a goal in the first, after that he was just decent. Khronek was a bit better. THey will have to show more if they want to stay.
Schev works hard. But his bad skating will be a problem. His hands are good though.
Boring game overall..only for the hardcore fans !
by the way..we won 4-2 lol

Good summary, Pierre.
Hi to everyone, after a long summer hiatus. Hope to come here more often than last year.
Exciting to see the kids but reality will set in when the season starts.

I watched a little of the second period and entire 3rd. I liked what I saw of Libor Sulak, big (looks bigger than 6'2' to me) but pretty quick and athletic. He moves the puck out in a hurry and not afraid to join the rush and, a big plus he doesn't shy away for contact.
I thought he was a forward for a while too Pierre.

I liked what I saw from Sulak, Rybar, Hicketts and Svech. I'm okay with the play of AA, Nyquist and Hronek. Zadina? Where was he all night? He was a non-entity out there. Where were the moves, the skating, the good hands? Of course, playing with Abby sure didn't help him out. I am beginning to see why he dropped and we got him at 6th. I think he's going to need a FULL season in GR to get his shit together. Talking a good game isn't the same as playing a good game. I wish he'd do less publicity and get focused on his game. In a way that reminds me of those two wanna-be's. those bigmouths Jurco and Mrazek... lots of talk but not wanting to put in the work/effort to improve their skills. You have to put in the work b/c at the NHL level everyone has talent. Sorry Zadina- there's no room on the team for a prima dona. It's better to be a has-been than a never-was.
