So Goat just took Spezza's spot?
I didn't watch the game. How did Spezza look?
They played different lines. Spezza was tried out in all three phases of the game. Looked great in the offensive zone, especially that shift he helped extend into a drawn penalty, but had two miscommunications leading to goals in the defensive zone.
Pretty tough to say that second goal was a miscommunication from Spezza.
Yeah, that was pretty definitely on Marner.
I thought the Tavares line looked just fine with Kapanen on his off-wing.
Most of the rest of them were AHL players playing against AHL players, so whatever...
I actually thought Spezza was fine, and I think Gauthier got lucky with some breaks, unlucky with the shots. We've seen this before from Gauthier, against AHL competition he's fine...and if they keep him over Spezza I'll never forgive them.
Schmaltz reminds me of Hunwick.
