Thebrewcrew Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 The start has been great. Toffoli has to bury those. Two great chances already. Markstrom with a softy on the first shot of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCifer Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Thanks for the GDT Rock Doc! Good energy and jump to start the game. Liked Dube driving the net. Didn’t like the goal on Marky, and was hoping for a solid start from him after what we saw in the preseason. He’ll come around though. Almost had one there just now! Keep going flames!

LouCifer Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Brett Ritchie opens the scoring in the season. Love it! what a pass by Looch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Ritchie is hot! Scored a few in the playoffs as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCifer Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 We have the worst powerplay in the league. 0% conversion rate 😂 In all seriousness, PP1 looked good and controlled very well. I, however, am not enthused about PP2 - more specifically Backlund being on the PP. I’d prefer Kadri move to PP2 and Backlund focus on PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Really good period. It's a shame to be tied. Colorado will wake up in the 2nd, I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Good first period. Controlled most of the play. Should've had 2 or 3 goals already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dube had 2 or 3 that deflected it away from the net or blocked the shot. Tkachuk was really good when he did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t fully subscribe to the trend of icing 4 forwards and 1 D on PP1 if you have the horses to play on D. I’d like to see Andersson, Weegar, Hanifin, and STONE get in on the PP.

Always get good results when you trash a player. Backlund Sucks. Toffoli Sucks. Hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Hard to believe we are holding the AVS to 4 shots so far. Could be that they played last night. They don't look tired yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe Haha Though, I’m not trying to trash’em. We finally got a 2C to allow Backlund to not have to play PP and PK, but we’re still doing that… don’t burn the guy out. Let him play to his strengths. He’ll still score as our 3C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We re using 2 centers on PP1. A bit of a waste. I think they should break it up a bit. Move Lindholm down to 2nd unit. You still have a good C in Kadri. And 2 x RHS in Ras and Toffoli.

travel_dude Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 It's pretty obvious we have a hole on Backlund's line. Lewis hasn't bee middle 6 for some time now. Not a lot of choices, other than moving in Ruzicka on LW and Coleman to RW. Dube would fit like a glove but no top 6 RW then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCifer Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Great period. Dube visible all night, as is Kadri. Hubie’s been a little quiet, but that’ll change. Marky dialed in. Defence playing well. Looch has to make sure that puck gets over the blue line when he gets it on the boards… that’s something that continues to happen from last year. The “team play” is looking good. Tanev is a rock back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCifer Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Toff!! And, Kadri with the off-wing one-timer to make it happen. Gotta start doing that more on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
