GDT: 9/28/19 - 7:00PM EDT - Florida vs Tampa Bay [Preseason Game 7]

[DFC]

Cirelli is significantly faster than last year.

 

[Brie]

Killer, what kind of pass was that?

 

[Brie]

SO now.

 

[DaBolts]

Cirelli is significantly faster than last year.

His bridge contract will be a nice one.

 

[Brie]

Not a good SO so far for us tonight.

 

[Felonious Python]

At least we get 1 point out of this.

 

[DMB06]

Nice move Sergachev.

 

[Master P]

Not a good SO so far for us tonight.

Not like we put our best guys out there to score. Pre season games over. Time to move onto the ones that count

 

[Krewe]

I am less impressed with Serge by the day. Think we can do Drouin part 2, electric bugaloo?

 

[DaBolts]

Not a good SO so far for us tonight.

Bah. The big guns aren't playing. After losing 3 players they still held up pretty well. Vasy was making Vasy saves. That's the big note of the night for me.

 

[Fabiobest]

The Panthers were so lucky in the SO...
I hope, btw, that both TJ and Paquette will be in the lineup next Thursday!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Oh well.

 

[DFC]

1-6 pre-season.

Doomed.

 

[Brie]

Why is it that we're playing those guys 5 times in a row (granted only two of them are in the regular season) but still, it's a lot.

 

[These Are The Days]

Game 7, huh? Not expecting any goals for us today.

You're an jerk

 

[DaBolts]

1-6 pre-season.

Doomed.

That's it. I'm putting my tickets up for sale half price. Why waste my time going. It's a disaster.

 

[DFC]

I thought he looked pretty good tonight. Not concerned with mistakes in the offensive zone so long as he's keeping our end clean.

 

[Master P]

You're an jerk

Oh no.........i've forgotten

 

[Krewe]

DMan mistakes in the offensive zone tend to end with scoring chances for the other team

 

[DFC]

Yeah, but those weren't the mistakes he was making tonight. I think there are reasons to be optimistic about him right now.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Agreed. He's not there yet at the player he could be, but from what I've seen these preseason games, he's still trending in the right direction.

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

Didn't catch the game, who looked good and who didn't?

 

[Steazy Doo]

Oh no.........i've forgotten

sup

Shattenkirk looks a lot more comfortable playing our style with our team. Witkowski probably played his best game so far. Verhaeghe was solid. He's played a lot of games this preseason but he's been super consistent throughout. Offensively he's put points on the board, and defensively he's taken care of business. So he's made a positive impression

Not really any bad performances. Gemel Smith is probably headed for Syracuse. He wasn't bad, I just don't think he did enough to get ahead of Witkowski, (Maroon-Paquette-Witkowski looks like a lock for our 4th line) or Verhaeghe. And Rutta was Rutta, but it doesn't really matter since he wasn't going to crack the top 6 anyway.

Overall, I think something to like is we played with a lot of physicality. And Shattenkirk when he becomes completely settled in will help drive some of our offense. So, we looked like we've addressed some weaknesses while still being the skilled team we are.

Good: Verhaeghe, Witko, Shattenkirk, Vasi
Bad: Killorn Rutta
