Ottawa won its fourth exhibition game in the re-match with Montreal. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the game, so rather than offer an uninformed opinion I’ll provide the insights of others to create a picture of performance. As always, keep in mind that this is the exhibition season.
Notes from the box score (link):
-blueliners who played the most: Gonchar, Cowen, and Rundblad
-blueliner who played the least: Wiercioch (again)
-forwards who played the most: Regin, Michalek, and Neil
-forward who played the least: Parrish (again)
-the Condra–Smith–Greening line was on the ice for both Montreal goals
–Gonchar was on the ice for all of Ottawa’s goals
Paul MacLean’s sentiments (link): he was happy with the game; he praised the leadership group of Michalek, Neil, Carkner, and especially Regin.
Steve Lloyd tweeted the following (link):
–The Good: Rundblad‘s skill has been on display 2nite. The Bad: So has his poor D coverage. The Ugly: That last turnover. I still think Rundblad will be a plyr eventually. U can’t teach what he has offensively. U can teach D.
-That’s Da Costa setting up Michalek beautifully for a G now on back to back nights. Good way to make a tm is to show chemistry with a vet.
A. J. Jakubec tweeted (link): This has been Rundblad‘s best period of the preseason [the first]. Looks a little more confident.
David Rundblad writes that he thought he played his best game last night (link).
The Silver Seven‘s Peter Raaymakers thoughts (link): he was happy with Filatov, Cowen, Neil, Da Costa, Rundblad, and Lehner. He also liked Parrish, which is at odds with how little he played, and was unhappy with Peter Regin, whom the coaching staff specifically praised, so take that for what it’s worth.
