GDT: Islanders @ Wings - Preseason Game 3

[RedMenace]

I guess it depends where he’s able to squeeze in. I see a lot of people looking for Hirose on the second line, I’d rather give that spot to Veleno and let him break in. I think it’s very unlikely, but that’s where I’m at with it

That's all it ever boils down to, really. Unless he absolutely dominates, it's a numbers game.

I could say the same about Seider honestly. I’ve seen enough that I’d be perfectly fine letting him stay up. If he starts to sink, then we can send him to Grand Rapids a la Cholowski last year. But he doesn’t look out of place, he doesn’t look uncomfortable.

Helm is the worst at entering the zone.

lots of 4 letter words were heard in my household the day holland handed him his most recent contract

 

[ShanahanMan]

Shit play by Zadina. Damn it’s hard not to notice his errors out there.

He very much just almost looks like a pro that's just going through the strides getting warmed up for a season.
Doesn't appear to be over-awed or trying to force plays. Just playing well, passing controlling the puck and creating opportunities. He wouldn't look out of place at NHL level I think.

Incredible play by Bert.

 

[Mijatovic]

Nice work by Mantha. Sees that opportunity and gets his feet going. Great work by Bertuzzi to just give him a chance as well.

 

[vladdy16]

**** play by Zadina. Damn it’s hard not to notice his errors out there.

That's not saying much on a 3 on 2 SH goal.

Him and Cholowski tried to make something happen. Didn't communicate properly on the retreat.

 

[Hen Kolland]

Cheers to about 40 of those this year Mantha.

 

[RedMenace]

My internet shit itself long enough for me to miss the Isles' goal, then catch Mo's snipe to tie it.

 

[Mijatovic]

Whats with all the awful stuff ruining the feed? I would rather watch the play

They patched in the Jumbotron feed. This is like being in LCA without being in LCA

 

[TheMule93]

we're getting the feed from the jumbotron

 

[vladdy16]

It wasn't a political statement, just a observation. But hey, if you're into the alphabet people that's none of my business.

My dogs ears are perking up for some reason. Weird, I don't hear anything...

 

[Hen Kolland]

**** play by Zadina. Damn it’s hard not to notice his errors out there.

I notice a lot of things during a game. I noticed how poised Seider looks. I noticed how comfortable Veleno looks. I noticed that Filppula is still as pass first as ever. I noticed that Mantha shot was world class. I noticed that the only thing you ever mention is that Zadina is a f*** up.

Maybe watch for more than one player’s mistakes and you’ll find more to be excited about.

classic holland draft pick = soft and dumb

 

[RedMenace]

I wish Carley would just wire a shirt into one of those asshole adult's faces.

 

[Ezekial]

Sick Erne, sick.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Good Lord Erne

 

[Mijatovic]

What a pass by Erne for Hroneks goal.

 

[RedMenace]

Oh holy shit, what a pass from Big Ern.

 

[Martinez]

Hronek is so good

 

[Christien]

Veleno now credited with an assist tonight on Mantha's goal

 

[Hen Kolland]

I love this powerplay unit with Hronek posting up on the halfwall. A little bit of variety.

I’d gladly watch this 2 D powerplay unit with that set up
