So being there tonight was fantastic. The atmosphere was so good.
I think a lot of players showed their true capabilities, as opposed to Thursday where we only showed flashes of what we are capable of.
I was sceptical with some of the signings, and I was very wrong. Cox, Sandford, and Lammon have shown I know nothing about hockey - so excited for what they can do this season.
McNally is a horrible player to play against, but I’m also impressed with his skill and hockey IQ.
Duggan and Waller look like they’ve stepped up so much. Absolutely great stuff.
On the D, Mikkelson is exactly what we hoped he’d be.
Register looked a little leggy occasionally, but his hockey IQ is outstanding. I imagine he’ll be up to speed shortly and marrying the two together.
Big up to Zach Sullivan. Zero prep time, took his minutes well and looked good.
But my final word has to go to Richie. What a performance. The man is ageless, but he was probably the best player on the ice tonight. If he had a Canadian passport, he’d be playing in a much higher league. Can’t say how much I enjoyed tonight.
