The NHL is back. Currently in the midst of pre-season games. History was made today, as the Vegas Golden Knights opened their pre-season series with a 9-4 beating of the Vancouver Canucks.
Watching VGK play, they showed a lot of promise. 2017 6th overall pick, Cody Glass, looked really strong. Alex Tuch had a strong game with speed and good hands, deftly tipping in a goal. The star of the game, though, was Tyler Wong. He scored 3 goals and an assist.
The Canucks did not look that great, but showcased some good young players in Jordan Subban and Philip Holm. Brock Boeser scored 2 goals and looked impressive.
Cannot wait for the regular season get started. It seemed to be a long time coming.

SWEET! Congrats on getting it Arf! If I wasn't a Hawks fan, I would be sporting one of those jerseys too. McDavid is heck of a player!

According to this article, there might be more than one change on the Hawks 2nd line:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports...916-story.html
Sounds like Q is tinkering with the idea of Schmaltz playing 2C with Kane and Sharp. If so, that would really make our third line very strong, with Anisimov moving down to the 3C. Still too early to say it's for sure and I would much rather see a Kane/Anisimov/DeBrincat 2nd line with a 3rd line of Sharp/Schmaltz/Hartman. But that's only if Debrincat shows he belongs in the NHL.
If he can't, then roll with Kane/Sharp and either Schmaltz or Anisimov on the 2nd line and the other one plays on the 3rd line. Either way, we're going to be rolling with three very good lines instead of just one this year. Much, MUCH more balanced this year. At least on paper.
And Murphy seems to be playing well, so that is easing my concern somewhat over losing Jelly.
BTW, thanks Arf for starting this thread.

I'm looking forward but not too hopeful.
