GDT: 9/28/21 - 7:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Carolina [Preseason Game 1]

[Surrounded By Ahos]

"If there was one player who could escape Alcatraz it would be Brindamour."

what are we talking about?

Tripp Tracy’s mind goes on some weird tangents while calling games. You either learn to love it or slowly go insane

I'm pretty encouraged by this game. Raddysh, Katchouk, and ABB really look like they belong. Some of the kids show promise and aren't intimidated by the moment.

The teenagers look like teenagers. Nothing wrong with that. Good experience for these guys, but Finley, Schmidt, MacDonald, and McDonnell will likely be off to their CHL teams after tonight.

What is that freakin random howling during play from the crowd?

 

[Hoek]

Great work with the extra skater. Shame they couldn't score.

Lost Coyote fans?

Pretty meh game, the experianced guys were pretty sloppy tonight.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

I liked ABB and Katchouk, but I thought Raddysh stood out the best of those guys vying for a roster spot. 1 game down, 6 more to go.

Elie, Ryfors, ABB, Katchouk, and Raddysh were impressive. Legace was alright, not much he could do on the goals. Sustr surprsingly wasnt god awful.

Sustr "not god awful" means he is is playing at his ceiling; I expect he will soon regress to his drunken giraffe level of play.

When you get the random howling, you've got a pretty boring game going on.

Carolina needs to nip it in the bud, though. It's going to get interpreted as the rebel yell the confederates did when the north canceled them for owning slaves.

Playing against Charles Hudon got this.

Playing against Charles Hudon got this.

I agree, they should ice all of them for the entire season.

 

[LightningStrikes]

28% on faceoffs, ouch!

ABB looked good to me. Rutta was deathly slow.
