A nice beatdown of the Pens to start the season, liked Jones and Mancini out there.
 
Great win top to bottom. Was there any doubt Igor was about to drop a shutout right in our faces? His agent probably called Drury right after the game asking for another 500k per.

Third line looked great and I will eat my crow on that one. Chytil is playing with pace. The goal didn't count, but if Cuylle can keep shooting like that should be a consistent 20G guy from here on out. Kakko looked confident though still can't score. Time to accept that is just who he is. As long as he continues to process the game quickly and not slow down the pace he is a useful player.

Mancini belongs.

Really didn't like the Schneider-Trouba pairing. Schneider looked far from comfortable on his off side. Thankfully this is short-term.

Pens stink.
 
Edstrom on the 4th line is going to be a huge deal. We haven't had a good 4th line since the Boyle days. I would like to see Edstrom start taking some faceoffs. Get him to take some draws. Rempe also. I like the idea of a big, strong center taking draws on the 4th line. Of course Roobroeck will be the answer for that most likely. Eventually the line will be Edstrom-Rooebroeck-Rempe. What is that like 6'7, 6'7, 6'8. Crazy. Could start for the Knicks. If Roobroeck plays well in the AHL his rookie year I can see that being the line as soon as next season.
 
I still think Sykora will be a good 4th line player in time.
