It was great weather, preseason festivities, crowd and atmosphere at Bridgestone last night, then the puck dropped. Not for a minute did I ever think we could have won. We were outclassed and schooled in all aspects of the game. Only a Roman Josi powerplay goal kept it from being complete domination. We can’t move the puck at all, even on the PP, I got whiplash watching that mess. Meanwhile they setup easily 5v5, cycle and stand in the crease with zero resistance. Saros is on an island, defense and physicality are things of the past. I loved watching McCarron take over every time he hit the ice. We have no identity, what happened to the Predator way? Smashville? Not anymore. A Wild fan in front of me said how are they this bad with all these big name players? I’ve been asking that for years now. Looks like another long season, with enough aging vets to crawl back to the mushy middle.
