Kinkaid's save percentage was a 94.9% coming into tonight. He just blanked the Stars. Ohhh boy.

Missed the damn first half. Kinkaid looking good and I'm hoping Butcher is alright too.

Yeah definitely, props to Orlov for the hit. Respeckt

OOOOOOO BABY PICKLES

Looked clean to me. I'm with Dano & Cangi, Taylor Hall doesn't get hit like that often...too speedy.

Not as much as Auston Matthews and JT to start the season. 8 and 6 goals respectively to start the year. It looks like at least 2 elite centers is the norm now plus another elite wing or two is a must if you're going to compete with Toronto. I can't believe I'm typing that. Hopefully Palms keeps it up!

Not an insult. You're just chirping at people all the time. It's funny. See below.

You are such a chirp-machine, dude. lol

Holy sh!t boys. They are blowing up the reigning Cup Champs. Good sign in my book. It's 25-11 in shots. Palms has 4 in 2. This is gonna be a good one.

If someone finds a link, pls let me know.

McJesus, lmao.

Real test for Noesen on that second line with Zacha and Johansson.

I'm locked behind a paywall for NHL Network for some reason? Anyone else experiencing this? 3rd line had a nice shift in the O zone.

I'm happy for the kid (if he makes it). I didn't realize he was still so young because he's been a part of the organization for so long. Only 22. Persistence, persistence, persistence. He's probably in the A right now if Maroon re-signs here, but props to that kid for working his tail off through camp.

I thought the top 6 actually looked really good tonight. Wood, Zacha, Zajac, the top line, the 2nd line all looked pretty good tonight. The defense was moving the puck really well, I thought Butcher looked fantastic out there with Vatanen and even Lovejoy looked pretty good out there with him. Lots of stuff to like in tonight's game. I can see Qville making the team but it's looking like he'll be 13 and Rooney might make the team as he's been used an awful lot on the PK. He's a pretty decent replacement for what Gibbons did last season. If he makes the team, he's earned it. Same with Q as he's looked good, has been getting chances, has been pushing play forward when he's out there. The Zacha line looked very good, cycling well and moving the puck around the O-zone very quickly. Zacha had an A+ chance on the shorty, but he shanked it high. The Hischier line looked very tough to play against tonight too. There were long stretches of the 3rd period where we really kept them hemmed into their zone. Hynes will be pretty happy about this win after the close games we've had. The boys earned the W tonight. Kinkaid looked alright, could have been better, but I'm pretty confident with our top 6 going into the start of the season despite having my doubts about Johansson-Zacha-Bratt.
