You guys were right; the pregame corn, hotdog, and pop were very good.
Scratches:
Ferrero, Mappin, Coetzee, Weller, and Kuemper away at NHL camps.
Siwak illness until later this month
Bell ankle dtd
Redmond shoulder dtd
Esposito healthy?
Positve impressions:
Archer (solid cofident game, J. Deagle (good hustle but defensively responsible), Elson (charlie hustle even against the biggest), Ferguson (could be our shoot-out man), Green (starting to fit with linemates, smart defensively too), Nugent-Hopkins (welcome ... good fit with two 20y olds), Persson (can play here and works hard, doesn't mind the heavy traffic, Dumba (LOL just a joy!!!!!!), and Morin solid tonight and agressive attack RDREB). (and Gorchinski except for his big rebounds)
Other impressions:
Petrovic Pretty good for him but handled the puck a little too long a couple of times.
Kambietz the count on me to do whatever guy.
I am not sure Barak is what I expected for size. He didn't seem to be up to the physical play.
I liked Miller stepping up against a 20y old but we didn't get to see him for much of the game because of it.
Brad Deagle is a very smart player but on the small side against bigger forwards.
Colton Mayor will become a good Whl'er but has trouble with the size this year.
I only see Mireau when he scores.
Mason Burr will likely be with us next year.
Was Josh Cowan playing a little hurt? I didn't see him throwing his body around like I am used to.
