GDT: 2023 Running Preseason Thread

[Napoli]

Fantilli! Vincent line changes were magic

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

3-2 CBJ Fantilli! Good shot from the middle but more because it was sneaky rather than a hard shot (maybe accurate or difficult location for the goalie).

 

[CBJx614]

Fantilli!!!

Marchenko Fantilli KJ , I like it.

Elvis!

 

[stevo61]

Good job Elvis, thats what we need to see

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Laine wanted some OT training

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Elvis... saving the game?!

I'm taking a risk posting this now instead of waiting the two minutes...

 

[Napoli]

Does Texier ever lose a puck battle? The guy is incredible

Is it me or does Elvis always play well against the Caps?

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Ok sillinger i see you

 

[CBJWerenski8]

That was a great play by Laine

 

[Seedtype]

Laine doesn't mess around.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

4-2 CBJ Laine quick shot to empty net, pretty accurate. Nice win.

 

[stevo61]

Good play for Laine to make up for the bad giveaway

 

[MoeBartoli]

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

These SOBs can’t shut up long enough to hear the ref’s penalty call announcements. They talk right over the ref

 

[CBJx614]

Great finish by the entire team. Has me thrilled for the start of the season.

Got my tickets to star wars night already!

 

[Seedtype]

Good win, though again I think everyone is just waiting for the regular season to start.

Importantly, Elvis played good tonight.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Nice win, good perseverance.
Jenner almost blew it when he didn't clear the puck on that 5on 3 - and Laine with that brutal giveaway - but Elvis came up big.

Lers go for game 1 on Wednesday!

 

[MoeBartoli]

Fantilli!!!

Marchenko Fantilli KJ , I like it.

Elvis!

I thought Marchenko being inserted there changed the whole Dynamic of that line.

 

[CBJx614]

I thought Marchenko being inserted there changed the whole Dynamic of that line.

Yeah and the first line looked just as good as well

 

[DEF]

.926 for Elvis.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Good to see Elvis ending the preseason on a solid game. Jiricek looked good, maybe he'll actually make the team. Severson is getting to form. Provorov took too many penalties. Sillinger did some good stuff after getting the promotion.

Ready for the real stuff

 

[CBJWerenski8]

.926 for Elvis.

He looked very good tonight

 

[Napoli]

Werenski - Jiricek & Provorov - Severson is a very solid top 4. You can see it the quality too, they are calm on the puck, especially Severson, he impressed. That should be the starting top 4. No more Peeke, Boqvist, Bean slotted into spots they can't play. Bean sucks btw, I realize he's been out forever but there's no way he should be playing come Wednesday.

Since Gudbranson has to play for some reason, I'd start like this:

Werenski - Jiricek
Provorov - Severson
Blanks - Gud

That's the best game out of Elvis in a very long time. If we see that more often than not this year we are indeed in business! Also I approve of the Vincent blender in the 3rd and it worked out!

Assuming Sillinger and co. make the team, does Vincent go with the lines that have been working (JG-Laine-Marchenko) or the lines that worked tonight?

 

[NotWendell]

Silly's was my kind of goal. This team can win when their goalie just plays above average hockey.
