Kindl and Lashoff looked absolutely terrible. It's last year all over again -- awful defensive zone turnovers one after the other. Weiss looks to be returning to form (invisible).

Excited to see if the chemistry of line #1 clicks. This is Ferraro's chance. Happy to see Callahan back. Obviously line #2 will be the best line tonight.

In five years when Jensen is our #1 and Smith was traded to the Colorado Avalanche I'm going to dig this thread up.

I thought he'd get a lot more than he did. Looks around 12 minutes. He was quite invisible.

Yeah it really should be our second line with Z+P+Guest on line 1.

SHUTTTTTOUTTTT PETE

We gotta go 80% in October because we'll go 20% against the bottom 10% of the league.

This seems like the moment of the game where Tatar or Smith goes for a shot-block and gets his face shattered from a point blast... in the preseason. I guess these two teams just like to generate heat when they play against each other.

Can't give Phaneuf that much room and time

Haha, yeah, and I did too. But dang are the Wings dominating this team. Leafs look uber weak. But... preseason

Lol Mike in a Coney's Island awesome

Yeah, and god does this team's PP need it

I love goals like that, hell yeah, That's called hand skills

Man get the shutout pete

He's like a bad aftertaste. It's not immediately apparent what he does to a team but he does ... ruin the flava Yeah, I edited out my comment that Oulette looked like a total AHL'er because I didn't want to upset anybody. He doesn't seem ready and he doesn't seem good. I feel similarly, but less strongly towards Sproul. Marchenko looks calm and experienced. Also I see a big difference between guys like Andersson and Porter/Nosek/Netrasil. Andersson looks like a NHL'er and the other three don't. While Andersson isn't the best NHL player ever maybe it goes to show he's arrived?

Well said

How's Marchenko, Sproul and Oulett playing? They seem invisible to me, but maybe I'm just paying attention elsewhere. Also I think Nosek and Porter look like bonefide AHL'ers.

To my eyes Jensen is the best player on the ice tonight.

Spin-o-rama is no longer permitted on a shootout? More dumb rules by morons. Yerrrr rulessssss National Rule League NRL

Mrazek solid Was anyone else shocked that Reimer was back in net this year after what happened last year?

Yeah, this is pretty bad. Bad for the fans, bad for the product itself. What the hell is this league thinking calling this stupid s***? I think it's a minor-deal to MISS a call (even as much as fans ***** about them), but I think it's a huge-problem to call penalty after penalty that don't exist (out of fear of missing calls?)

This is already a royally botched reffing match

5 and a game ... see ya later Nosek it was nice watching you?

It still pisses me of royally that Arby's only offers a free SMALL CURLY FRY if a Wing player gets a hat-track. Is that not the dumbest challenge to reward ratio ever? Compare that to the Taco Bell promotion here, where you get a free taco for every home run hit in baseball.

Same. He's just so good at holding onto the puck, he's smart and he's awesome at getting the puck to the next Wing. As a young guy he's sort of secured his job in a quiet yet remarkable way.
