Bjork with a great feed to McAvoy coming down the back door. Flyers goalie made a nice save, but that was a real good shift.

The result of the officials trying to prevent Miller, Gudas from fighting. The end up with Krejci and Patrick.

That game reminded me of too many last year. Generally outplayed the other team except for a few major defensive lapses, and the finishing wasn't there.

37 + 63 + Bjork played together 8 minutes, shots 9 to 1, scoring chances 7 to 0.
McAvoy and Miller on ice for 1 Philly SOG in 10 mins.


I'm no advanced statistician but that seems pretty good.

Some other stats...mostly useless in preseason, but whatever.

McAvoy 80% CF, 69% o zone start.

JFK- Didn't really notice him much, but he seems to have had a decent game. Only 6:30 of 5x5 time, but 90% CF with 43% o zone start. 7-2 on draws, and played 5:30 on the PK. Ended up with 60% corsi in all situations which is very good considering the PK time.

Krejci line was the only negative possession line.

I don't know what the hell the Vegas twitter feed is doing....

Cartman is clearly a goalie, or at best a bottom pair defenseman. Kenny is an injury/death risk waiting to happen, and doesn't deserve 1st line minutes. The fact that Tweek isn't in the top 4 forward lines is a fucking travesty, and shows what a joke this whole escapade has become. Mr. Mackey? Ummmm, kay. That's ridiculous. That man can't handle physical contact. And where the hell is Mr. Slave? He's a stud and deserves a top 6 role. What a sham.

I do, however, like Sheila as a the 4th line goon. She can break some fucking faces.

I always thought Mr. Slave was more of a bottom guy

B's lose 1-0, but all accounts are that they played well against the Blackhawks A team.

JFK solid again- 83% CF, 50% on draws.

That's a wrap. Cap compliant rosters due Tuesday at 5pm, then the Preds are in for the Opener on Thursday.
