Hofer will get 2 periods tonight

Any news about how Vladi looks out there? I haven't gotten the chance to watch any games yet this year, I was thinking he played in at least on at this point.

Thanks

Not sure about on the ice but heard he got a big ovation when introduced in the starting lineup, still has the A on his jersey, and has said all of the right things.

I don't think you can really put much stock in anything anyone says about the veterans during training camp. Every year 99% of veterans "come in in the best shape of their life." Trade drama aside, guys like Tarasenko don't have to worry about making the team, they just have to get their practice reps in and avoid injury in the games. The kids and the guys on PTOs are a different story, but again you have to take all the press with a grain of salt.

If he's still on the team when the regular season starts, I'll start forming opinions. Hopefully he can shoot.

Best what? Uniforms? National Monuments? Bald ex-NHL goalie analyst? All of those are debatable, but they're at least in the conversation.

Obviously

The one thing I've been paying attention to a little bit is the D pairings. Specifically who is getting time with the NHL level players. Perunovich has repeatedly been with someone that is sure to make the roster, but Walman getting a look with Faulk is new. I know he scored in the last game, but didn't watch so have no concept of how he played otherwise. This is a massive camp for him.

That first line has me feeling feels I havent felt in awhile

Tonight is also Bolduc's debut after his injury kept him out of the Traverse City tournament.

I wonder how close Neighbors is to making the team. I'd assumed he never had a realistic shot given the depth. I still think that's the case, but it's great to see him get some run with the big guys.

Stopped Berube in his tracks

LOL nice lid.

Neighbours had a goal and two assist. Tarasenko and Thomas scored as well. Dominate line. Best in hockey

It's always more interesting to see who is still up with the big club.

Hmm...

If Kostin gets put on the shelf again, then I don’t see him ever playing here.

Yeah. I can't see him sticking around.

Berube doesn't want him here anyways.

I was extremely impressed with Bolduc last night . I think he might be back after his junior season ends...if not, I definitely see him in the lineup next season. Very explosive first stride, a lot of skill, and best of all he’s selfish with the puck which is a trait that I love.
I think we have a real good player in Bolduc...definitely a guy to get excited about. I’d put him at the top with Perunovich as our best prospects.

Great assist by MacMac on Chicago’s goal.

How will history remember the Klim Kostin era?

Not as fondly as the Clem Kadiddlehopper era.

James Neal provides a lot more give-a-shit than a few guys from last year’s roster.

Assuming he makes the team, I just hope that give-a-shit lasts beyond November.
