Guds over Poulin

At least Poulin can hold a post, Guds looks like absolute ****.

Vladdy with some baffling decisions too

 

[Coopers Gum]

Hedman with a minor unspecified injury, will not return, according to EE.

 

[Sky04]

TKO+Stamkos was pretty crusty there.

Probably looking at another year of PP woes.

Didn't hold the post too well when the puck went in literally behind him.

Crap



This is why preseason can suck, it's great for the young guys to get the chance to show themsevles but it's awful when injuries happen during games that doesn't matter.

 

[The Macho King]

Eh, it's probably a sore thing, no danger, but no reason to risk injury.

Edit: Which, if that follows how things went last year, means he's out for ~2 months.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Minor unspecified injury = Out 6 months

 

[LTIR Trickery]

I don't give a **** what anyone says, Boyle is actually totally serviceable defensively

 

[Brie]

Nice 'd' ob there by Boyle.

 

[The Macho King]

I don't give a **** what anyone says, Boyle is actually totally serviceable defensively

Who said otherwise? He's not bad. Prefer having him at F though.

 

[These Are The Days]

TKO has been rotten the entire game on the PP. Namestnikov, Marchessault and Drouin are the only ones doing anything

 

[Coopers Gum]

it's a thing from the movie.

Movie? What movie?

 

[LTIR Trickery]

At least he was actually in his crease instead of 3 feet out of the net

 

[Brie]

Oh I agree, he's a great 4th line C however I have the upmost confidence in him when he does have to step in and play 'd' because he does it very well.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Nobody really said anything, but when you move someone like that most people assume or expect a significant drop of quality... i'm curious to see zone exits and possession compared to league average, feels like he'd probably be at or slightly above it.

 

[Felonious Python]

Movie? What movie?

well, little one, the scene of Johnstown, PA was once the inspiration and filming location for a hockey movie many moons ago. I'm surprised NBC hasn't mentioned it yet.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Yep. Guds seems to like to scramble wildly.

Know what kind of goalies scramble wildly? Weak ones.

I remember him playing D a bit at Boston College and he was actually pretty fun

Yeah - I mean, he's athletic and that's fantastic. But every save can't be a reaction save.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Know what else is pretty fun? The movie Slapshot!

Wow an actual exterior shot of the town, instead of another movie clip.

TKO's been bad in general. They've got 0 fight in them tonight.

 

[Brie]

Now we have to kill a penelty.

Emrick may know what's up. The 1977 flood was the year Slap Shot was released. I suspect that's how it got into his notes.
