LA


I think Turcotte will be better than Laine, but La is one of the few teams who can afford to put Laine in a position to succeed. Laine-Danault-Arvidsson would be a good line.

-we played a bunch of scrubs. I don’t recognize some of the names on this squad today. Who the hell is Jake Slaker?

-Elvis with a .783 save percentage. That’s what you get with nobodies on defense.

-Speaking of weird names I don’t recognize: Billy Sweezey. I want him on our starting squad specifically for his name.

Adam Larsson apparently wanted a fresh start on a new team so apparently was not coming back. That said bringing in Ceci to replace him was not smart.

What Holland should have done was not be stupid trading Bear for Foegele. Bear was coming into his own and along with Nurse made for a solid D-Pairing. While there were plenty of Foegele like wings available via FA.

That way the Dcore is

Nurse-Bear
Keith-Barrie
Russel-Bouchard

Winnipeg should have gave Mcdavid and Draisaitl PTSD flashbacks and put Hellebuyck in that preseason game. Probs would have been shutout lul.

I hate Lehner. Along with Auston Matthews and Tyler Seguin, up there for my least favorite (but good) player in the league. All 3 come off as arrogant, moronic and obnoxious.

Turcotte could be better than Laine but Turcotte might not be able to reach that potential in LA with all of the center depth. Kopitar, Danualt, Vilardi, Byfield. Unless Turcotte moves to wing, the Kings should trade him for a young 1st line winger or a young LHD

I’m pretty sure they’re developing Turcotte as a winger

Devils destroyed the Rangers tonight. I know it was just preseason but it was a big victory. Everyone looked great tonight, especially Nico, Dougie, Mercer, and Bernier


Both Mercer and Holtz looked really good last night. I think they could both use a bit more AHL time before being called up (more so for Holtz than Mercer, the latter looks less green), but they should definitely both see NHL time over the course of the year. Bright future for the Devils for sure.

I think this is in reference to Nolan Patrick being given those pills by the Flyers without knowing what they were, Lehner is pretty much the 2nd “NHLPA” since he’s revealed he’s had mental health problems and isn’t scared to voice his opinion on the NHL messing up

Sure Lehner is frank and outspoken, but he’s outspoken about good things, like standing up for others’ mental health. IMO it’s refreshing to hear him say what other hockey players are afraid to say, both about hockey and society.

Fully agree, Lehner is doing what people should be doing and speaking out against the problems with the league.

One more thing to add about last night: they gave Scott Harrington the A. I don’t know how to feel.

I don't mind players speaking up about problems with the league, I had no problem with Jonathan Toews complaining about Bettman during the lockdown shortened season. I certainly don't have an issue with speaking up about mental health problems (Jonathan Drouin being an excellent example), but players shouldn't be chiming in about firing coaches of other teams for being "dinosaurs", among other issues I have with Lehner. Like I said, he comes off not just as outspoken, but arrogant and moronic. Guess we'll agree to disagree on this one. (The funny thing was when Fleury was on Vegas that I love Fleury but hate Lehner, so I'm happy I don't have to choose between the two anymore.)
