[Kin]

Well, I can't pretend it's going to be a pretty year but I do miss these when they're not around.

 

[WAYNEINIONA]

I'm ready. Even bad hockey is still better than baseball.

 

[ZBBM]

Remember the days when we would get 100 GLGs before the season opener?

No.  It must be done.

Vortex of doom?

[Peter D.]

Dare I say it, but is this the least anticipated season/home opener...ever?

I have to miss the first period, maybe a bit of the second. I feel nothing.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

Dare I say it, but is this the least anticipated season/home opener...ever?

I grudgingly took the time to set the PVR to record it.  There's a decent chance it gets deleted unwatched.

 

[Palmateer29]

Just wondering, I only caught a few games during the preseason and only saw Hunwick once...How did he end up on the first pairing? Is he a better fit up there over Gardiner or Reilly?

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

To the bottom of the table!

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Grabner on the 4th line? wtf?

Babcock took a liking to him early, I don't think he's played with anyone but Phaneuf in preseason. I wouldn't expect that pairing to stay together over the course of the season, at least not as the "number 1" pairing.

 

[Bullfrog]

I imagine the defense lines are going to be rolled out with fairly even ice time throughout the season. So he's not really "up there" but rather just "there." People are writing it our that way because Phaneuf has traditionally been the team's best defenseman.

Mark Masters tweeted out these powerplay lines from practice yesterday:

Phaneuf-Parenteau-Kadri-JVR-Boyes
Gardiner-Arcobello-Bozak-Lupul-Holland

I appreciate the idea behind having 4 forwards on the PP and all, but Rielly just has to be there somewhere.
