After watching much of the game, they just really seemed to lack intensity or urgency last night, likely because they knew they weren't under the scrutiny of an EN blog.

MAF giving up that early goal like that made me a little nervous, but that's the sort of thing that hopefully gets ironed out by the start of the regular season ... right, Marc-Andre?

The only guys that played hard were the ones fighting for roster spots.

That's completely expected less than a week from starting real games (and the last preseason game of the season).
