Boyle's slow, but as somebody who really **** hated playing against him, I think he'd do well on the 4th line and PK.

It doesn't even feel like it's the start of the regular season tomorrow.

I still haven't signed up for ESPN+ yet.

You can be slow and survive if you are smart and long. He’s both

I still haven't signed up for ESPN+ yet.

I think I'm doing the big bundle thing with Disney+, ad free Hulu, and ESPN. I'm waiting as close as I can get to November, because we bought the annual D+ subscription which renews then.

Probably should do it tomorrow then lol

I'm debating whether or not to start the season just casting streams from my phone, or paying the $7 for ESPN+. May wait until November to sign up to get the full value out of it.

Tomorrow's game is on ESPN nationally so at least you got that.

Jake has covid?

we're going to get trampled tomorrow

we're starting the season with a rash of injuries

Postby **skullman80** » Mon Oct 11, 2021 3:05 pm

What an ugly start to the season this is going to be.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Mon Oct 11, 2021 3:12 pm

Happy to see Ruhwedel apparently win an opening night. How the **** is Lafferty here over Big Z though?

Postby **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Mon Oct 11, 2021 3:16 pm

I have no idea if he's the same Boyle as 5+ years ago but I'm happy with him. He'll give us some much needed grit

The one thing I HATE the most is that Simon made the team. Looking forward to him being square-pegged into the top 6 when Sid gets back.

I feel the same way BUT he was undeniably one of the best 12 forwards in camp. With these injuries/Covid issues it makes sense for him to dress now. When we get some guys back, let’s hope he can serve as the 13th forward or perhaps goes down to WBS.

I want my 4th line to be bigger/tougher guys. I hope when things settle we don’t put all our redundant spare pieces on that line. Simon/Rodrigues/Etc. That would be my fear. That those types push out O’Connor, Boyle, Z, Angello, etc.

"What a story. The 36-year-old did not get a deal last season, played for Team USA at the Worlds and worked his way back to NHL on PTO."

Not quite the story that was told before where he didn't want to play last year, not that he didn't (couldn't?) get a contract last year.

I highly doubt he's the same player from 5+ years ago haha

Expectations should always be low for a Seravalli article/tweet.

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Mon Oct 11, 2021 4:35 pm

Simon made the team by playing well and due to injuries. Meanwhile Evan Rodrigues was already gifted a spot and is a worse player.

lol well yeah but his game (unless I am mistaken) was never predicated in athleticism. He’s a big boy who can knock some heads around, play defense and block shots

I look at him as a bigger late career Craig Adams which I like (admittedly I am probably the biggest Adams fan on this board)

Postby **meow** » Mon Oct 11, 2021 7:25 pm

Legit question. Why do we always have to have a comparison player when we get new guys?

YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Mon Oct 11, 2021 7:28 pm

It provides a baseline preview, for lack of a better term...

Postby **meow** » Mon Oct 11, 2021 7:31 pm

Yeah, but like,,,why do we need that? Can’t we describe his game in 10 words and do the player more justice?
