Fantilli on the PP1. That speaks volumes about how he’s practicing.

This stream is so much smoother than the earlier game.

If Mateychuk doesn’t make the team we have to send him back to Junior, correct?
He looks to me like the best of the young D we have. On par with Jiricek, IMO.

Damn poor Elvis on that one. Played the cross ice pass just for bjork to block the pass.

I think Mateychuk looks great out there. After watching Boqvist and Jiricek earlier today, he’s definitely making smarter decisions.

Fantilli and Laine have some natural chemistry thus far

Fantilli is a beast. Unbelievable compete level and skill combination.
Loving Mateychuk. I’ve been high on him since before the ’22 draft and think he has an opportunity to be a special player. Smooth, skilled, excellent skater, and makes those sneaky veteran plays like setting “legal” picks by using his body correctly.
Future is bright.

Let’s take a moment to thank Anaheim for whiffing on Fantilli.

Fantilli is him

Notes so far.
Negative: We’re going even against an AHL caliber team.
Positive: Fantilli is just as dominant in this as in traverse city.

The thing that I’m most excited about Fantilli is how decisive he looks with the puck. Even if he makes a mistake, he’s not worried about it. He knows what he wants to do and does it, he doesn’t overthink himself into a turnover. Yes this is not a “real game” but it’s nice to see!

I really hope that 91 and 13 start to move their legs as the season goes on. I get that they can stick handle their way out of a phone booth, but man you’re going to have such a better chance at net if you can keep skating and beat the defense on breakaways.

Fantilli is just so effortlessly good, I think he starts at 1C if he looks like this in the rest of the preseason

Dumais isn’t ready for the NHL. Really hope they get that waiver. He needs AHL minutes badly. KJ and Johnny are struggling tonight. Mateychuck has been surprisingly good

Thoughts:
Fantilli is so NHL ready that it’s not even funny. He doesn’t look like or play like a rookie. He’s an absolute fucking monster.
Mateychuk looked way better than I thought he would. Like, really good.
Fuck yeah, Texier.
Hope Dumais gets the waiver because he needs to get stronger and learn how to play against men so he can stay on the puck. If he can do that, I really think he could be something special. Hoping Gaudreau can offer just the smallest bit of tutelage as an undersized, very good player.

There’s the sound, hopefully a better result than earlier but some of the youngsters looked good.
Love Elvis’ new cage, looks awesome. There’s a full view of it on the hockey Reddit
So nice seeing Texier back on the ice in a CBJ jersey
Sexy Texy is back
NICE SHOOTIN’, TEX! 😀
Hell yes, Tex!
Tex, Fantilli, Laine goes hard
1-0 pitt. Apparently
Laine and Fantilli look great together so far. Really hope this carries over to the regular season
