GDT: Inter-squad scrimmage

[Sam Spade]

There's a lot of guys out there who can skate really well. Fehervary is the best. But Pinho, Snively, AJF, Alexyev all look like great NHL skaters.

Pinho def stands out. He and Snively have made a lot happen out there.

More creative players are def in the red team.

This is Pinho's chance to make the Capitals. He looks most ready.

 

[Sam Spade]

Not for nothing but there is Sutter brother, not sure which one, sitting next to me. He has his roster sheet and is taking copious notes.

Edit: It’s def Ron. And I suppose he is just watching his kid.

 

[Marshall]

Maybe some work on breakaways....

 

[Marshall]

Fehevary's speed on display as he got back to cover a forward. Guy's definitely got wheels, no doubt.

 

[Silky mitts]

Fehervary just outmuscled Getsich so bad for that puck before the Pilon goal

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

2nd half’s was pretty fun McMichael probably most impressive player out there dude can snipe

 

[Charles Calvert]

Fehervary was by far the best guy out there. He should be a call up this year, 100%.

Pinho looks polished and could be ready. So did Malenstyn. I would put both guys above Gersich and AFJ in terms of sheer readiness.

Oh and McMichael is going to be a very fun player.

 

[Silky mitts]

42 looks like the answer

 

[Raikkonen]

Whos 42?

 

[txpd]

Whos 42?

Jackie Robinson.

 

[Silky mitts]

Whos 42?

Fehervary

 

[racingmoose]

Pinho, Malentsyn, Snively, and McMichael all made a good impression amongst the forwards.

 

[searle]

Anyone want to guess some ceilings for the standouts?

 

[Sam Spade]

Alexeyev should be the first D callup, he is already better than Djoos. Made two bad passes but he was still my player of the game. Whatever “it” is, he has it.

McMichael played well made a lot of small plays that generated offense.

AJF didn’t do much offensively, although he had an assist on Sutter’s tying goal, but defensively he played great. Broke up plays with his stick and anticipated others and cut them off.

Snively and Pinho provided tons of offensive. Stephenson should be scared.

Fehreverey has “how did he get to that puck so fast” speed.

Malenstyn had some nice chances.

Biggest disappointment was probably Gersich, just not getting rid of the puck quick enough and getting hit because of it. He almost fought a guy who checked him behind the net and kept hitting him. He seemed frustrated.

Whos 42?

Jackie Robinson.

Joel Ward.

McMichael - Scheifele
Fehervary - Scott Niedermeyer
Alexeyev - Hedman
Aim high

2 bad passes? Missed or turnovers?

All spot on. Gersich didn't look good today, he just makes slow decisions out there a lot. He struggled a lot with that in Hershey.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

No mention of Leason. Evidently he didn't show well?

 

[hb12xchamps]

The best news is reading this report and knowing Hershey is going to be really fun to watch this year. Get some supplemental scorers and dominate

 

[Charles Calvert]

He wasn't bad. I thought he had near two goals.

McMichael just looked really solid though. His hands are as advertised and like Sam said, he did a lot of small things to keep possession going. He is a confident and talented player.

Lots to be excited about. Thanks for the post. The big Russian healthy and ready to play sounds great.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Not to get too ahead of myself, but from the descriptions of Alexeyev and Fehervary there may come a time in the not too distant future where Orlov and Djoos could be replaced.

An Orlov departure as soon as next summer would certainly allow more cap flexibility for resigning Backstrom and Holtby.
