Went to the game last night and a I have a few thoughts/questions about last night's games.
1. Moen looks to be skating a lot better and handling the puck with more confidence and didn't look eager to fight last night when challenged by Doan. Complete roll reversal for him. Does anyone else think that Moen is becoming a 2nd/1st liner who could really contribute for us?

2. Doan, McGrattan, and the Yotes seemed to be awfully pissed and chippy last night. Did something happen in the 1st preseason game between the two teams that required retribution or are the Yotes just pissed that they are 1-5-1 in the preseason with as much talent as they have now? None of our boys seemed eager to go last night, although I did see May let McGratton know he wasn't pleased with him.

3. Last but certainly not least. Doan punched Moen after they had wrestled to the ice and the ref was between them. A bit suprised by that one since Doan seems to be a stand-up guy. Again, just wondering what I missed either last night or in their previous meeting this preseason that would have caused Doan to react that way.

Damn glad Hockey is back. Greatest sport in the world. Go Ducks. Gotta get back to watch the 2nd between the Pens and Sens.

No. Maybe he's the oppurtunity since basicly there's a spot open since Ryan was sent down. However, I do not see him on the 2nd line for any extended amount of time, unless of course a few injuries happen. However, we do need that checking line to step it up this year if we're going to be contenders.
