Positives:
Knight looked good. Knight used his body a lot, pretty quick..Solid game
Spooner also looked good. Nifty hands, good passer, a few giveaways, but decent game
Camper and Bourque both are good AHLers (and depth for the NHL) very good hands, quick, and have a good eye for the game. Don't know if they will be able to transfer over to the NHL but all in all, impressed by their play (the line was Bourque-Camper-Tardif)
Hutchinson got the start, and although he let in 3 goals, i wouldn't really blame any of them on him. He looked alright, would've liked to see Svedberg but oh well...
Bobby Robins is a good fighter haha
Disappointments:
Jordan Caron...........looked timid out there. He gave the puck up A LOT, didn't use his body and wasn't impressed.
Some of the lines were blah. Too many gritty/not good with the puck type of guys playing together (and had a lot of minutes for those lines...) an example would be MacDermid-Whitfield-Robins (saw a bit too much of this line on the ice)
Defense left Hutch out to dry a lot. Bad turnovers behind the net and giveaways, sloppy and it cost them
That's my 2 cents, first game of the year so not much to take out...sloppy play will get better as they play more but would like the coach to switch the lines up...
