    So on the last Montreal goal, Foligno was on the ice with Bedard and Burakovsky I assume as a veteran presence instead of C. Dach.

    Can someone (Frenchie?) explain what Foligno was doing in that defensive sequence . Was he channeling his inner Al Arbour and trying to play as a second goalie? I thought in Blashill’s defensive system the wingers cover the points, and the center is down low, although I will say Bedard was not really marking anyone either.

    Can’t wait for when Mr. Microphone retires after this season and becomes an analyst for the NHL Network. Tired of hearing him talk about learning how to win, especially since his resume doesn’t exactly scream that he knows how to either.

    The Bruin’s IMO are definitely in on the McKenna sweepstakes. It is Pasternak and a bunch of third liners and has been

    So that huge 2026 UFA forward class is now down to Kempe, Panarin and Necas. Unless you want to include Nick Schmautz as a difference maker.

    That’s why drafting is king, especially as the cap rises, teams will be signing their guys.

    Unless you are Vegas.

    Only thing I hated about the game was the final score. Lots of positives to take away.

    Once Grzelcyk got the PTO, unless he totally bombed in the pre-season you had to figure he was going to be signed. He was coached by Velluchi at Pitt. Last year, have to think he had some input in the decision to bring him in.

    Unless Murphy defies precedent and has an injury free season (or gets traded at the deadline) your veteran (singular) is Vlasic, then Kaiser and Crevier as far as service time. No matter how talented the young D is, that is way too young a D core to go through an NHL season.

    Unlike Brodie, Grzalek didn’t show the decline last year to think he is going to be as much a liability as Brodie was. I wish though that they would of picked up a vet that can play on the PK. Grzelcyk wasn’t on the PK with Pitt. And rarely with Boston.

    How did Gryz look yesterday?

    Better than Brodie.

    Wow! I seen some strange hockey plays but never one that the hawks were on the better side of.

    Oliie Moore finished with a defender and ‘tender in front of him.

    He scored before Blues #55, slow on the glove drop could cause a stoppage of play?

    It’s difficult to say the zebras were shy with their decision. The puck was in play in an attack zone, so They were cautious.

    What say you?

    I guess in pre-season it is a good goal. In post season (Hjalmasson 7th game) not so much

    Hey LA Knight and Nazar would like to have a word with you.

    Always a defender of the poverty franchises you are.

    Just pointing out fake news.

    Looks like McTavish is signing with the Ducks, per Elliotte Friedman it will be $7MX6…

    All that haggling over $7 mil per year, Ducks need to find another investor or 2.

    Interesting, Samueli is one of the richest owners in all of sports worth over $30 billion, about 5x richer than the Wirtzes.

    How come it took the Hawks so long to sign Kaiser for a measly $1.7 million.

    What owner of a Chicago sports franchise opens up it’s pocketbook to pay for talent?

    Hello everyone, hope y’all had a wonderful summer.

    Thanks Boilermaker for directing to this site. Really enjoying CoachFrenchy’s blogs. Clear, concise with ton’s of info, and in-depth analysis.

    As far as the team, the old adage wait until after the first 20 games to see what you have really pertains to this team. New systems (again), new players young team will take awhile for Blashill to sort out the players roles.
