GDT: 170926 vs Kings 7pm - first home game

[Bart9349]

I guess Gary Lawless is VGK "insider."

Seems to have the knowledge and enthusiasm that will be necessary for a first season that could be quite long and frustrating:

Like his size and willingness to go to dirty areas. Kind of reminds me of Taylor Pyatt.

Yeah. Even if he caps out as a bottom 6 guy, it's solid value for Vegas in getting him

 

[HanSolo]

Apparently Goucher is gonna have some M&Ms. What a weird moment to broadcast

Heard that, too. I wonder if that is a euphemism for something.

 

[Soundgarden]

Ouch, 2-1 Kings. Tough screen.

Focus. Focus. Focus.

 

[HanSolo]

Really expected Vegas to look more dominant against an AHL team

 

[HanSolo]

Has Marchesseault been paying attention to preseason at all? What a dumb penalty

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Hope that's not their official goal horn. They've got to get something much stronger and original.

 

[Soundgarden]

Hyka with another good look towards the end there.

 

[BattleBorn]

Perron is just not good.

 

[HanSolo]

Dirty dirty goal.

 

[Soundgarden]

Carrier with the gritty goal, doesn't have to be pretty.

 

[BattleBorn]

Also, does it sound like this place hits as well as it does?

So much bass.

 

[HanSolo]

Perron is just not good.

Perron is maddeningly inconsistent. One moment he looks like a star the next like a dud.

And yes the acoustics in the TMA are great. The whole arena is just fantastic. Nicest arena I've been to even if on the smaller side.

 

[Bart9349]

At least they are having their opportunities.

 

[HanSolo]

Schmidt and Miller definitely have potential.

 

[0point1]

OT, this should be fun

Post goal edit: Or not

 

[Soundgarden]

Schmidt and Miller definitely have potential.

Yeah, Miller I think will be our best defenseman this year. He's got some nice moves. Huala and Tuch are impressing me tonight too.

Let's win this in OT.

 

[Soundgarden]

Ouch that ended quickly.

 

[HanSolo]

Kind of a rough game for the team in general. Especially given the quality of competition.

 

[HanSolo]

Overall the team played pretty lackadaisical hockey. Lots of questionable decisions with the puck.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I thought Vadim Shipachyov looked really good out there.

 

[Bart9349]

Wow. That was quick. Welcome to the NHL.

Can't blame Pickard for anything, but ... Fleury has solidified his starting goalie status.

 

[Soundgarden]

Yeah, I felt like we lost a lot of battles that could have been won with a little more hustling.
