Nice showing by D-petey!

Winterton was begging for a left after all those rights.

I really want to see what some tutelage by the likes of Schenn and Oleksiak will do for D. Petey. The kid has the moxy and the size. He gets some man strength on him to go with his mentorship from a couple of such pugilistic craftsmen, and I’ll worry less about team toughness/physicality moving forward.

Great end to the preseason.

Pp at 50%.
Ep40, 2 pts, 79% in the dot.

Mostly, showing some grit and coming back for the win.

It's going to be a long season, but if they can pull off some nights like this, it will be tolerable.

There will be a lot of nights where they’ll be outclassed, but as long as they keep going down swinging, it’ll be a bit easier to take.

He was also questioning his life choices.

Ep40, 2 pts, 79% in the dot.

27/34 fo's won tonight and versus oil.

Quite a change from 47% last year.

An anomaly or a precursor to a better season due to improved preparedness/give a shit.

He sounded like a happy camper post game which is encouraging.

Did anyone call the score tonight?

After the start I'd say that Van carried the play more or less. Seemed to settle into a good positional game with a good forecheck going. Showed toughness and if I'm not mistaken owned the walls against a team that usually owns the walls.

Early signs of the coaching crew making a difference?

Are you implying they only lose to spite our 4-3 predictions every game, and only win if we don't predict it? That's spetznas level of depravity.
