| New pre-season thread - all game discussion
Since the last thread got a bit off-topic (it was originally Sens-Leafs but went all over the place), here's a new one.
I was as the Sens-Penguins game tonight and I have to say they looked pretty sharp.
Not dressed: Hasek, Redden, Chara, Schaefer and Varada (injury) for the Senators; Lemieux, Thibault, Malone, Andre Roy and Dick Tarnstrom for the Penguins.
The Penguins looked a bit disorganized, but the line of Recci/Crosby/LeClair still looked potent and with a bit more time together will be putting together some beautiful plays.
Brandon Bochenski, Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley are looking like a very potent combination (Spezza and Bochenski played all last year together in Binghampton, and it shows). Hossa for Heatley? The trade's looking better all the time. Ray Emery had a good night in goal too -- he's looking better than I expected and will hopefully do well if called upon.
Classy moments of the night: Crosby got a huge cheer when introduced and again when he got ready for the shootout after the game (he didn't score).
Strange occurrence: after Mike Fisher put a hard, but clean, hit on a Penguin (I forget which one), one of the officials stepped in and held the two of them apart while the play went on for about 15 seconds. Fisher was trying to get off the ice on a change at the time.....made for a very strange situation where two other players were hanging around the two in question (wondering what was going on, I would think) while it was 3-on-3 at the far end of the rink.
All other teams/games welcome in the thread. Bring on the regular season!
