I think Mantha is the x factor on O. Boy needs to show us something this year. Makes too much money to just skate around.

Well I only watched the 5 minute synopsis, but if Kempney is the X factor.....we are in trouble. He handed over the first goal and was beaten twice others that led directly to goals.
Hard to tell only watching 5 minutes, but 3 glaring mistakes in a game by one veteran D isn't a good start.
Everything looked kind of loose and not so intense so who knows. It's only preseason and I know it's mostly for evaluation, but...
Still....scoring a PPG AND a Shortie is a game you should win.
Allowing 5 goals isn't going to win any games.

Most of em' we know what we have, but this mother fucker who makes MORE than Tom Wilson and nearly as much as Oshie better show me something.. Looks like a 5.7 million 4th liner to me.. :-\

What's funny about your comment is....only watching the five minute condensed synopsis, I was wondering if the Great 8 even played, cause he sure was not in any highlights. The highlights certainly don't give you a feel for the game so you can't really tell anything (except who scored....er um....AND who was beaten like a drum....repeatedly)

He was out there. Looked uninterested/slow. Had 1 decent 1 timer that went high. That was about it from him.

Everyone looked slow...well on D anyway. Every goal NJ scored looked like they beat one or more guys to the puck/net and nobody really gave a damn. Meaningless games, yes, but still.
Actually offense looked okay, but nobody seemed to be caring much about D.
Again...FTIW...only saw 5 minutes of highlights.
