Les diables gagnent ? C’est bon! Les diables perdent ? C’est mauvais! Je vais le dire : Mac n’était pas parfait, mais cette perte n’est pas de sa faute. J’ai aimé le jeu de Clarke, plus Zetterlund et Holtz ont eu leurs moments. Qu’est-ce qui préoccupe votre esprit?

Agree with you on the assessment of Mac, but he shouldn’t be the 1A in our rotation based on the preseason.
At best he sees 30 games and keeps us in at least most of them so our offense can try to rack up some goals.
We put out an AHL level team and played like an AHL level team.
Boqvist single handedly eliminated himself from a roster spot last night when it was his for the taking. McLeod has been invisible this entire preseason, but will probably still make it since no one has really challenged him for his spot. Zetterlund probably secured himself a spot.
Holtz will be tricky. With us having as many players as we do who would have to go on waivers I can see them doing something funky with him since he’s exempt. He still needs time to develop but playing in Utica won’t do him any good.
This type game is what’s so frustrating about MacBlack.He didn’t make any big saves and let in a couple softies.Last week vs Rangers he looked like the best goalie in the league
Think people are being way too negative on Blackwood. I’d only say one of the goals was a softie. The others he had some great saves, team got pinned in the zone, then the Islanders scored. Those kind of games are going to happen. Happened to Shesterkin last week against us. Also it’s preseason and we had very few NHLers on the ice.
Clarke is playing like Mercer did last preseason. Hope the coaches notice and keep him around.
