What a boring game. I usually won't say no to free tickets, but from now on will have to re-consider. We ended up leaving at the 2nd intermission.
The highlight of the day was seeing a couple buy two 46 oz popcorn ($4.00) buckets instead of sharing one 86 oz ($5.25) buckets.
Idiots.
GAME ASSERTIONS
- Trukhno has some skill; thinks the game well
- Pouliot did a great job battling in the corners
- Chorney will be ready sooner rather than later
- Strudwick certainly isn't anything more than press-box/7th D material
- Like Smid's game
- Brule certainly hasn't shown much; he'll be spending the season in the AHL.
- No atmosphere whatsoever at Rexall; for all the right reasons
Feel free to add your thoughts.

Be glad you went for free, I paid to watch the game on Tuesday in Vancouver. The highlight of the night was two different pairs of drunk fans being ejected from the same seats.
Brule shown nothing?
I sir, disagree with that assertion.
Dude hits everything that moves. I think he makes the team.
Offensively though? He's a 6th overall draft pick, and has yet to show that offensive finish that carried his play in junior.
He's a sixth OV pick... by someone else. What, 5 years ago? Don't worry about his pedigree, worry about what he's doing on the ice. Right now he's a guy who looks like he can do exactly what was done by GlenX last season, with a much higher upside....
A Troo Phan would never pull the chute on a meaningless exhibition game! This is Serious Fucking Business.

Try 3 years ago - in the same class as Cogliano. He's done really well in junior, but hasn't transferred that offensive game to the NHL level. It's a case where he needs some at-bats, and another year in the AHL may not neccessarily be a bad thing.
