Phil Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 It's just one preseason game, but it's amazing the difference we're seeing in Kakko. The skating. The confidence. The little plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Jones-Schneider is such a legit pairing. Loving watching them both. It's like another Lindgren-Fox. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they looked good in the first. They're still annoying to play against. And they're making guys fight through them. That's creating room for others 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep Hunt, I could see him swapping in and out with Reaves throughout the year. Blais-Rooney-Hunt is probably a mini buzzsaw line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just talking about assessing a presence where the opposition tip toes around because they know the physicality is coming. But only one game.

Might be the most effective fourth line they've had since Boyle-Moore-Dorsett/Carcillo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them meaningful opponents/games and the dynamic will change quick. Imagine them in a playoff series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Solid game. Kakko looks fantastic and actually feels like a presence on that Panarin line. They're gonna have a good season. Nemeth-Lundkvist can fuck off. I'm here for Jones-Schneider. Both of them were fantastic throughout the game. Given how Lundkvist looked on Sunday, I don't remotely think he has enough time to catch up to where Jones is right now. Lundkvist should be in Hartford, Jones should be in the NHL. I wish Schneider could be in the NHL too. Richards quietly had a really strong game. I'd like to see him push for the 13th spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The confidence. The little plays. The player I've been most intrigued to see in preseason. Claims he's worked primarily on his skating and add muscle in the off-season, let's see how it reflects on his on-ice performance this year.
