GDT: Preseason at Bruins, 7pm

[Marshall]

MONEY SILANO!

 

[ToddBrew]

Pretty stuff from Sonny

 

[RandyHolt]

Dat Johan Erskine?

 

[tycoonheart]

Boys look good tonight

 

[ToddBrew]

I like the pace and playmaking of this team. It's no longer race down the sideboards, 180 spin and pray someone's open for an outlet pass.

 

[HTFN]

I was f***ing camping the clock from 12 to 2, and then missed the 4pm start. Goddamn it.

What have I missed, because there isn't a guarantee highlights will do it.

edit: judging by the thread you wouldn't think it's 3-2 Washington...

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Really like how McMichael and Milano have looked. Would be a big boost to their middle six if those two can play at a higher level. McMike in particular looks the part this preseason. HHA looks solid too. Great hit on Lucic and seems solid defensively with a decent enough first pass.

 

[Raikkonen]

Willy looks like he has a good season in him, right? Id draft him in fantasy but I dont play anymore

f*** Mantha

 

[twabby]

Hard to justify a spot for Mantha given the play of guys like McMichael, Phillips, and Miroshnichenko.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Mantha is suck.

 

[Raikkonen]

btw, why isnt Ovi playing?

why do they keep Ovi with Backstrom in practice? looks like Kuzy is with Wilson and then what? who's RW with 8-19? Oshie? 3 old guys together?!

 

[StrikingDistance]

I’m fine w that not being a penalty


Yeah you heard that to?

Sound guy in Boston must be a DC old head

Maybe. Quite a popular song when it came out and Fugazi is still revered to this day around the world. I've definitely heard it in other barns during longer breaks in play.

Also, I've heard Seein Red played in DC more than once which is strange it's not played more often given the Caps Rock the Red era.

Think we need more Go Go at the arena too.

 

[DWGie26]

Got caught up. Like how we are playing with speed. Also mostly doing a good job in the lanes both bodies and sticks.

 

[Raikkonen]

Russian commentator:

Mantha almost scored. That's a nonsense, don't you think?

 

[DWGie26]

JC74 on PK? Haha. Iorio looks like he needs more time in Hershey. Aktell is impressive!

 

[HTFN]

HHA can stay, I'm good with it. Only guy on that shift making plays that actually lead to zone exits.

ooof, that's a booty call. not even remotely close to a hook

 

[notDkristich]

More MSN streaming fail. Pause feed for 5 mins, click play, skips to live. What year is this?

 

[DWGie26]

Aktell has been great! I love how he positions and he gets to the puck quick with the body. Looks like an excellent find.

 

[HTFN]

I'm not all the way sure why people are so hard on Aube-Kubel, that dude does work when he's on the ice

he's very much like a Dowd who doesn't get it yet. If he just plays a smidge more inside the rules he's got the tools to be an absolute maniac of a 4th line player. Dowd is even arguably too good for what he does, but he does it so well and doesn't care so it's fine. NAK has all those assets he's just a bit of an idiot.

 

[Raikkonen]

Also gets a penalty while doing this ^^^

 

[pman25]

HHA penalty draw

 

[HTFN]

this year is going to be genuinely hilarious if Backstrom starts doing the Gretzky Office thing and works it. They won't know what to do with that league-wide, and it'll also be an amazing media scramble

It would likely lead to fewer primary assists, and I don't like taking that out of Backstrom's hands, but it's just such a funny wrinkle

 

[PlushMinus]

Also gets a penalty while doing this ^^^

Exactly - the problem with Aube-Kubel is he takes too many penalties.

 

[Raikkonen]

Another sequence for Mantha.

 

[RedRocking]

Mantha always goes 5-hole. Come on, my guy - this is embarrassing.
