I honestly thought they would wait on that kind of deal until Charlie was closer in case of injury unless they got something too good to pass up. Lets hope it's that
Would have liked a little something from Frederic who was standing there watching Smith get hit like that
Kinda need Frederic to do..something?
Like, why is he on the roster if he’s not getting dirty there for a teammate?

Have to hope for good news on 46, but otherwise this is as good a start to the season as we could have possibly hoped for.
I was thinking with where it appeared the butt of the stick went and his delayed reaction made me think cracked rib
Watched the highlights. Still a bit too adventurous in their own end, but Swayman picked up the slack early. Also wanted to call out DeBrusk's effort on Marchand's 2nd goal—felt like he won more net-front puck battles in that moment before the goal than the entire team did for all of last year.
Hope Krejci is okay.

Few thoughts from 328
- Marchand was everywhere - a step off on sync with Bergeron / DeBrusk (better with Pastrnak when he got some shifts there) - but yeah, he guuu
- Mentioned it to TFP mid-game but I have to admit, Forbort has been more than solid. I don't know if it's a slightly looser in-zone defensive system (to the eye - guys flying the zone to corral chip outs, much quicker ups overall) that makes his stay-at-home skillset more valuable than in a more structured system like Cassidy's, but I am glad to be wrong on his usefulness so far this year
- Fire Frederic into the sun. I get that the Studnicka return is good value, but I hate not giving him a look under Montgomery in some NHL games
- Stating the obvious but huge game for Swayman, stayed low and found a lot of squirrely pucks to get faceoffs
- Foligno still sucks even though he's been better this year, I will die on this hill

Unless Frederic was under some “Don’t fight” edict once things got out of hand, WTF is he doing in the roster?
I was going to respond earlier to the questions of "What does Frederic do well?" -- 'Take punches to the face'. But apparently, he isn't willing to do that anymore...
