GDT: Preseason (all games)

[Wabit]

nobody is really standing out to me so far.

The Heidt, Haight, Walker line continues to generate great chances seemingly every shift, carrying over from the prospect showcase.

Hunt down after getting destroyed in the head by Kero.

I'd like to see more of Kupmailainain
Heidt is making some nice plays, he's got some nice tools

But I agree, nobody standing out

 

[Wabit]

Hunt got his bell rung.

 

[AKL]

That's gotta be a lesson on not puck watching, hate to see that but you can't put yourself in that position

If this commentator mentions Mackinnon again I’m turning this off

 

[AKL]

If this commentator mentions Mackinnon again I’m turning this off

It's (probably) the Avs broadcast so that's bound to happen

 

[Wabit]

That MacKinnon guy is pretty good.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

That MacKinnon guy is pretty good.

Did you know that he is the first guy on the ice at training camp? No way!

 

[AKL]

That's crazy Khaira, that's the type of shit that'll have you starting in Iowa

Packer game just ended. How are we looking?

 

[AKL]

Packer game just ended. How are we looking?

Lackluster, like it's our first game, and like our roster is filled with a bunch of guys who won't be in the NHL this year

Some bright spots, but few and far between

 

[lordtrillson]

Wallstedt looks like he’s settled down

That's about what I expected.

 

[Wabit]

Packer game just ended. How are we looking?

It's hockey, so there is that.

 

[AKL]

That's about what I expected.

Duhaime and Dewar have been relatively disappointing, considering they're the only NHL forwards we're icing, haven't really done much
Walker has been a bit of a mixed bag, scored a goal on a nice Heidt pass on the PP, has also had some bad turnovers
Heidt has actually looked good to me, but he's not taking over the game or anything, probably the highest rated Wild skater for me
Wallstedt has been good after the first 5 minutes or so, also hasn't really been tested too much (in terms of quality)
Kampoloinan looks like he could be a bottom six guy sooner rather than later, but the entire fourth line only has like 5 minutes of ice time unfortunately
Addison has looked exactly as expected based on last season
Khaira took an incredibly dumb penalty and I wasn't high on him before that so I can't give you an objective report on him
Hunt took a shoulder to the head because he was skating behind the net with his head down and looking behind him (not a dirty play by the Av)
Merrill isn't even playing I'm pretty sure

That's all I really got

 

[Wabit]

I'm remembering how little I like Petan and Mermis.

Careful, those Finns are going to come after you

 

[Digitalbooya]

The Wild are really high on S Johansson?

 

[AKL]

Bowlby needs to change his name or find a new job

Addison gets baited into a bad penalty, which isn't going to help anyone

 

[Wabit]

Addison gets gets burned and then takes a penalty.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

That was sick between Walker and Haight

 

[Wabit]

Nice pass by someone to Walker

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Was cooking dinner but Haight has been fantastic. Stronger on the puck/along boards than I anticipated. You can tell Heidt is a smart player as he came touted as a PP specialist. I'd say looked pretty good for just being drafted.

Not a fan of Petan, Vinn, Fogarty, Johansson.

Sucks to see Hunt get hurt - always seems to get injured.

Heck of a save by Wallstedt and now it froze on me.

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Kumpulainen with a nice play. Continues to impress.
