Well, when the Sens goon squad is playing, this is a fair play

Good call

Good call Marty! I watched episode 3 of The Rebuild last night and had nightmares about it.

Damn. I’m going to this game. Was hoping to see them

Yep, took out all our top players, good call. I wouldn’t even be mad if no team showed up and we forfeited the game. Why bother? Ottawa starts the beef, and in response calls up all their AHL goons. Again, why bother for a pre-season game?

Good choice. Love having a coach with an ounce of common sense for a change.

Makes sense.
Kind tired of Leafs and Sens goon squads cheapshotting our players all the time with no repercussions.

Next season all preseason will be premium game

IMO they shouldn’t be playing any teams from their division during preseason. would avoid rivalries and cheap shots.

Do we have tonights lineup?

Normalement, les équipes reposent leurs joueurs…ici le ch les protègent. Weak move imo

This doesn’t make sense. This subreddit told me because Xhekaj played a physical presence that they’d be too scared to go after the stars.
I do think it helps protect, don’t get me wrong, but it’s been absolutely escalating these past few games.

I understand his choice.

First line should be Florian, Arber and Pezz. Just to set the tone.

Good. No need to risk some AHL goon on his last legs taking out our top players. We already lost 2 guys this pre season. Send out the scrubs until the real thing against the leafs.

Goons vs goons would be fine…2 Xhekaj’s, Pezz. Tuch, Anderson, Mailloux etc…let em go at it.

[Also no Kirby Dach, Lane Hutson, Mike Matheson, Jayden Struble and David Savard.](https://x.com/EricEngels/status/1842576499628818646) Guhle is playing though.
Hughes wasn’t reassured enough by Staois
Is Arber playing?
