Diddle it, in my mind we tied that game up - and it was diddling CLUTCH of Karlsson to get that heavy shot on there for a rebound and Spezza's goal.

Karlsson is going to get 40 points this year man. He might win the Calder. He looked phenominal.

Top 4, no doubt in my mind.

If Clouston gives him PP time, like, serious PP time on unit 1, then yes, he could get 40 points and 10 goals. I might be finally ready to acknowledge that the little dude might be NHL ready.

Still...a few more pre-season games to go. Don't take your foot off the pedal Karlsson.

Yeah, he looked pretty good tonight. Wasn't exactly facing all-world forwards though.

Not sure there's another pairing - unless you put him with Picard on the 3rd pairing, but if you go for it and put him in the NHL now, I suggest you put him with Kuba, yes.

So, Campoli and Picard? Lee to Bingo? Guess that'll be that. There's really no other way unless you sit Picard - and I wouldn't do that after seeing how aggressive he was the other night.

Facing the world or not, I dont think there are 4 D men in Ottawa that are better then him, period. The obvious 3, then there's Karlsson.

Have a mentioned how shocked I am that they didn't even bother reviewing that goal? Diddle-a-doodle-doo.

Doesn't matter, but it's odd and it still sucks to lose that way. Pre-season or not.

I just have a very meh attitude. Cuts need to come quick though, these guys need to develope something.

Yeah, there has the potential to be a tonne of cuts tomorrow. Just a tonne.

Regin, Karlsson, and to my surprise Zubov, should be the only 3 guys left up here. I liked Zubov's game tonight and thought he was one of the better players.

Yeah, he was good. One poor performance from Z.Smith and he's on the bus?

Maybe, too much compition to have one off night. I think he gets another shot but he has to be dominate.

Good point. I didn't think of it like that, but they definitely did stick to the system. (A few new tweaks to the system, I saw too...The D were pinching in some unique ways.)
