[FlyersFan61290]

great work MSE, can't wait for the game. GO FLYERS!!

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Woo! Been looking forward to your GDTs for too long.

Thanks, MSE!

 

[Beef Invictus]

unfortunately, I only get to watch some of the 1st period before going to work.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Thank you, boys. Point out any inconsistencies, should there be any, since some of the material was issued from scratch.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Nice to see MSE's GDT's back!

Should be a fun one. Hoping for someone to clock Neal, but, more importantly, a W.

 

[BrimFullofAsham45]

I am very glad Staal is no longer a penguin. People are talking up Sutter, but I remain skeptical.

Last year in the playoffs, Staal was Pittsburghs most consistent forward IMO while Crosby and Malkin were getting a little too emotional.

 

[JVR21]

Good to see MSE's GDTs back!

 

[Laveuglette]

Hartnell - Giroux - Schenn? I thought Voracek would play on that line. Schenn's goalscoring abilities would fit well with Giroux, though.

 

[HartsyMania]

Thanks MSE, so happy to see you back!!!!

LET'S GO FLYERS

 

[JohnnyOnTheSpot]

MSE how good did posting this feel?

 

[Beef Invictus]

My postseason/lockout odyssey of various forms of meat has ended. I've returned home. Let hockey begin.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Welcome back to the best GDT maker in the business. I also love seeing that Pens line up without Staal in it.
Big game from Bryz and the Schenns brothers tomorrow !!!!

 

[HartsyMania]

My postseason/lockout odyssey of various forms of meat has ended.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

MSE how good did posting this feel?

To quote Ringo in "Helter Skelter" "I've got blisters on my fingers."

 

[freakydallas13]

Ah the MSE GDT, how I have missed thee.

Good work as always MSE.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Thanks everyone. If someone should locate webcasts, they can be placed in this thread. The game is on NBC for some but perhaps others need the feed.

 

[TheDrizzle81]

Ah a sight for sore eyes! Thank you MSE. You made my life!

 

[311unity13b]

Where can we find a coverage map for NBC to see if we will get this game or Hawks-Kings.

 

[King Forsberg]

So excited to finally see an MSE game day thread. Cannot wait until tomorrow.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Where can we find a coverage map for NBC to see if we will get this game or Hawks-Kings.

I don't recall seeing a map. This was on KuklasKorner:

Edit: (GKJ delivers).

 

[GKJ]

Hey, a GDT! It's been much too long.

 

[Vikke]

Want to see some of this.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

finally a GDT, now I know hockey is back.
