GDT: Preseason - Flames @ Sharks, 8:30pm MT

[Bounces R Way]

these guys are creaming their pants whenever Karlsson does anything

 

[Tkachuky]

Commentator being a big homer complaining.

 

[Volica]

Weird when the colour guy is complaining this much.

 

[Calculon]

Eh, Sharks did have the second best penalty kill last season and their personnel hasn't changed much. And it will take a while before the Cameron stink wears off.

This colour guy seems completely offended that the Flames are daring to actually compete against the Sharks. Everything's interference or a dive or something.

 

[Tkachuky]

Is every contact a penalty?????

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Anyone have a clip of the fight?

 

[Mobiandi]

Nasally commentators are the worst. The Loubo years were awful on SN

 

[Rangediddy]

I think we have a new contender for most homer announcer...

Awful. Just awful.

 

[JPeeper]

I've only sporadically been listening to the pbp guy because his voice is hilariously awful, but damn does he sound like a goofball.

 

[Volica]

We forget in Calgary how lucky we are for radio coverage. Went from a legend to a decent team.

The colour guy here should listen to how Lou does it. Like, don’t whine lol.

 

[Tkachuky]

His partner sounds normal and non homerish.

 

[super6646]

Definitely struggled in the second half, but Smith played pretty good. PP needs work, but that PK is good.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Ayyy we win!

 

[Bounces R Way]

Valimaki was quietly very good tonight. Wonder if they keep him in for the next one.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Drew Remenda used to be their colour guy. I'm noticing a theme.

 

[Master Bill]

Yeah it was Bret Hedican doing the colour. Absolutely horrendous amount of complaining and bullshit in preseason. How does a fool like this get hired to commentate NHL games?

 

[Rangediddy]

I went through the Sharks GDT and there wasn't one post about the PBP guy... we must be spoiled.

 

[Anglesmith]

It is kinda par for the course with radio commentators, though.

 

[super6646]

Good game at ES, but man they need to work on entries on that PP. Still, beating a powerhouse in San Jose is good. Hope this translates to the regular season (besides that PP).

 

[Anglesmith]

By the way, yes, that was a fake GWG by Neal.

Calgary Flames - San Jose Sharks - September 27th, 2018

Interesting to see how much playing time everyone got. Bennett with the lowest time on ice at 11 minutes, and Backlund at 19. Giordano getting 24 mins, and Hamonic had more playing time than Brodie. Hanifin didn't get a lot of time on either special team but got 19 minutes as well. Good to know we have a far more balanced lineup this year. I'd expect Gaudreau to take a step back points wise tbh, but I'd expect a tone more production from our bottom 6.

You're probably right there, but I expect his points/60 to go up.

 

[Lunatik]

I’m feeling weirdly optimistic.

Someone reality check me pls

Chuck Kobasew once was a preseason scoring leader.

 

[super6646]

Also interesting to note that Hanifin had 3 takeaways. This guy is gonna be a stud.

 

[Anglesmith]

Hanifin actually had such a solid game that the Dan Rusanowsky complimented him.
