GDT: pre-season games - Winning streak does not not end today - 5 PM PT

[dracom]

OK, now take Silf off the ice before a Shark targets him.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Silf. He seems relieved every time he scores.

 

[HanSolo]

I usually stick to the "preseason doesn't matter" line pretty strictly, but it is a battle to not get depressed about what kind of offense this team can bring on a regular basis.

Hard to stick to the preseason doesn't matter narrative when an NHL roster is struggling to look dangerous against an AHL/NHL hybrid roster.

As I typed this Jakob scored lol.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I don't know what you're talking about. I anticipate their play being offensive pretty routinely.

Boo.

Little bit of life there. Some of the value of Vermette on display.

and this team lead the league in GA last year, how likely is that to happen again?

There will be a lot of pressure on the defense. Still, I'm not nearly as worried about our defense as I am scoring enough goals. Can they get more than 2 per game? I think the D can keep the goals down in the low 2s.

the margin for error is going to be smaller that is for sure, i will remain pessimistic until we see proof that carlyle has evolved his system. i don't see how our bottom 2 lines will generate alot of shots, and we'll be counting on the kesler line even more this year for offense probably

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Perron, Stewart, Pirri, Santorelli, and McGinn

to

Vermette, Ritchie, Sorensen, Wagner, and...uh...Boll. Or Raymond.

 

[HanSolo]

Bernier might honestly be our best pick up. He looks really solid.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Great hit by Boll. Or charge. Mediocre fight, although he appeared to land a decent uppercut.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Bernier might honestly be our best pick up. He looks really solid.

I mentioned when we picked him up that his history as a starter with numerous games place was essential because eventually Gibson will go down and our backup will be leaned on heavily.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Getting completely out chanced by an AHL team kind of sucks.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Ooh
Ah

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

He did it during not-shootout? Uhhhhh

 

[Ducks DVM]

Ritchie is markedly faster

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

The only Duck worse than Vatanen tonight is Despres. Even Boll has been better.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Yup. I was on the trade Despres over Fowler bandwagon last spring, I'm driving that sucker right now.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

The last top line shift was an orgasm of almosts.

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

Depres looks like a pylon out there. Hope we didnt jump the gun with that contract

 

[Quack Shot]

Bernier is going to be our starter for playoffs. Calling it now.

 

[Sean Garrity]

The last top line shift was an orgasm of almosts.

Puck possession was impressive that's for sure.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Puck possession was impressive that's for sure.

You can see the potential. The trio of huge guys that can stickhandle in a phone booth. Gotta bear down in the slot.

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

Getz and Perry have to play together. Perry is the only one that understands why Getz makes the passes where he does

 

[Ducks DVM]

Depres looks like a pylon out there. Hope we didnt jump the gun with that contract

Beware ye the defensemen who make between 3 and 4 million dollars, for they are stinky and made of poop.
