GDT: 2023 Running Preseason Thread

[CBJWerenski8]

I'd love to know you unbiased opinion on how Laine plays center?
Btw, Texier is so underrated. I said don't see European stats, they are misleading.

Laines played very well this preseason. I don’t think he’s necessarily played well this game but I don’t think many have

Why did Vincent put Sillinger on the top line

 

[aRussian]

Johnson seems to be avoiding any contact whatsoever; ceding some puck battles by doing that

 

[Napoli]

Why are so many young guys anti contact. Fantilli is great in that aspect. Kent needs to stop avoiding contact and win more battles.

 

[CBJx614]

Wow what a play and effort

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Genius move by Vincent to put Sillinger on the top line

 

[CBJx614]

Why did Vincent put Sillinger on the top line

That's why

 

[Napoli]

Cole is playing well tonight. Great effort

 

[stevo61]

Good simple aggressive play. Love to see it Sillinger

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

2-2 CBJ Sillinger, important goal for him. He puts in the rebound after a faceoff, good effort. Might mean the difference between keeping him up and sending him down...

I'll write you down with an assist for that goal


... but yeah Im not seeing it with Silly either. Good on him to get the goal but he's been mainly invisible to me

Our offensive chances haven't been super great through most of the period. Not really generating much of danger shots

Almost no sustained zone time, going to be tough to win games long term playing like that.

 

[Napoli]

Werenski gets tripped and they call a cross checking penalty. I almost forgot how bad the refs are in the NHL

 

[aRussian]

Yeah, no setup and lots of outside potshots. Hard to sustain play when we have players that are poor on board play, too.

 

[stevo61]

Incredibly stupid play by Jenner there

 

[Napoli]

Incredibly stupid play by Jenner there

Thats our captain!

 

[stevo61]

Thats our captain!

He usually makes good simple plays but not there.

 

[Viqsi]

And I thought Jack Edwards was a super-homer. I want to strangle these announcers.

 

[Napoli]

He usually makes good simple plays but not there.

I have to hand it to Boone, I dont think I have ever seen a guy try to walk it out of the zone on a 5 on 3 PK

 

[Seedtype]

Fantilli!

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Marchenko really boosted that 3rd line

 

[CBJWerenski8]

f*** you oshie - Fantilli probably

 

[aRussian]

Flub shot but from danger area. Good score for Adam

 

[stevo61]

Fantilli!
