GDT: 9/24/17 - 4:00PM EDT - Florida VS Tampa Bay [Preseason Game 4]

[DFC]

Koekkoek's skating looks as good as ever.

Didn't think Killorn looked as bad as he apparently was last game (didn't see last game). Skating looked okay, by Killorn's standards. Average-ish.

 

[FinnLightning26]

I wouldn't expect much. Florida pretty much brought their A team.

They looked as bad as us. Hopefully there's more 5 on 5 hockey in the second period. The game has had no flow so far.

Yeah. And I'm not sure how much work these guys are doing with Richards' PP zone entry. They seemed pretty lost, and then nobody wanted to shoot.

I didn't really notice how slowly (some of) the kids were processing the game until Hedman grabbed the puck a few times. You can see a clear difference in the way he makes decisions.

 

[DFC]

Nice shift.

Erne-Peca-Joseph is a good combo.

 

[DFC]

Good push to start the period. I don't think Florida's had a shot.

 

[Bandit Keith]

finally some chances on net. Nice shift by Howdens line.

 

[Brie]

We're look better and at least shoting, now we need to get the puck into their net but it's a good start.

 

[DFC]

Is it just me or is Koekkoek kind of soft on the puck? Feels like his passes aren't crisp, his dump-ins are soft. Skating is fantastic though.

 

[DFC]

Just when we were gaining steam, here comes a PP, like a wrecking ball.

*lol* the younger players want to show that they can handle regular season with those.

 

[Brie]

Man, the radio commercial sound while showing the kiss cam makes it just weird.

 

[DFC]

Much better PP.

Joseph and Peca are starting to shine. Sergachev too.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Volkov!

 

[DFC]

Al Murray, you're a mf genius.

 

[JoVel]

Nice goal by the Mystery Man!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Not good at all by Cirelli

 

[Brie]

Yay, goal!!

Great job by Volkov.

 

[DFC]

Bleh, Cirrelli. So much for that.

 

[Brie]

Nevermind, didn't last long.

 

[DFC]

Someone with a 7 in their number went for a bad hit there. Hopefully not Cirelli again.

 

[DFC]

Volkov, Stephens, Peca, Sergachev having strong games, from what I'm seeing. Peca hasn't been OMG-Good, but he looks confident. Looks like an NHLer among AHLers.

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[FinnLightning26]

Nice goal by Volkov. Will be interesting to see how he does in the AHL this season.

 

[DFC]

Peca reminds me of Tyler Johnson in his defensively tenacious days.

 

[DFC]

Well, pretty good period, really.

They're showing a Steve Yzerman interview. The guy gets a haircut and can pass for 35.
