Thanks for another enjoyable read Jeremey. I did not get to watch the last game because I live in western Canada and it was not televised here. I was curious to where McLellan played Danielson in the line up? I was hoping it would be with Kane and Debrincat, then move Kasper up to the wing with Larkin and Raymond, and Finney down to center the third line. He probably didn’t want to shake up the lines this much, but I was hoping he would. How did Danielson look in the game?
Larkin, Kane, and Debrincat are all playing great. Mo is solid as always and has shown signs of continued growth. But really what is making the games so fun to watch is the kids. They play with such energy and enthusiasm, and you can see it rubbing off on the rest of the team. Charot is playing much better this year and I think it’s because of the kids. Gibson tracks the puck very well and has excellent rebound control. He can calm a game down when his team gets scrambling defensively.
I think my favorite player so far this season has been Edvinson. He has looked so steady and has given ASP the confidence to play the way he has and not be scared of making mistakes. Chelios used to have that effect on young players, but Eddie is doing this while still a kid himself.
The only player that is frustrating me on a consistent basis is Compher. Plays seem to die when he gets the puck. Hopefully he can get going.
I can’t help but be excited for this team this season. Even if they don’t make the playoffs they are going to be exciting to watch. They should be improved at goaltending with Gibson. I feel their defense will be better this year simply by not having Gus and Holl there. Addition by subtraction. I am also really excited to see the youngsters in regular season action. I can’t wait for this season to start.
