Not sure how I feel about the Pickard claim

It's interesting, I guess. Neuvirth will be hurt eventually, so I guess he's insurance.

When does the season start?

Has a goalie been injured yet?

Is Giroux’s leadership under question?

If Folin is in the press box I’ll.. be surprised because that’s where he belongs.

It is a bit of a curse at this point but I am really optimistic about this season. Our top 6 can play with anybody and the third line has a chance to be quite good. We have two of the best young defenders in the league and two others who are knocking on the door. As is usually the case though, we will only go as far as our goaltenders will allow. If Elliott can get even most of the way back to 15-16 Elliott, we could make a serious run. If not, we will be battling for one of the last two playoff spots and may see Carter Hart, at some point late in the year (if he is tearing up the AHL like he did WHL).

Forwards- above average. Defense- average. Goalie- below average.

30-30-22 is my prediction for the season.

Per Boruk, here were the lines in today's practice:

1 = G/Coots/Konecny
2 = Lindblom/Patrick/Voracek
3 = JVR/Vorobyev/Simmonds
4 = Laughton/Lehtera/Raffl
X = Weal, Weise

Yep! They watched VGK practice then took to the ice themselves.
