GDT: Kraken @ Oilers @ 6:00 PM (Pre-season Game #2)

[Three On Zero]

Yeah. I am not too upset. I know that the Oilers superstars are not even trying that hard but McDavid and Draisaitl at 50% would still be the best forwards on our full-roster .. ha ha.

I get letting the young guys get some ice time, but they should be working on the actual roster and build some chemistry

Probably a lot to do with this being the first of 2 back-to-backs in the next 6 days.

Also, our forwards are really not set. There are a lot of question marks there because its a position of weakness for us. As far as the D goes, we have a surplus of NHL d-men and need to split them up to also figure out who stays and who goes.

It’s nice to watch them play as it becomes easier to accept some guys not making the roster.

They have to make decisions going forward so they got to get some guys game time. Even more so for Seattle than other nhl teams.

I just want to see what these guys can do! Hockey is going to be great for Seattle. We used to take the ferry over from Victoria to Port Angeles an visit Seattle often

Very small sample size but Appleton has been disappointing.

He’s probably disappointed the most, and to be honest, I wasn’t expecting a whole lot.

Henman has shown flashes of quality here and there.

Yeah. Henman and Evans have both shown flashes.

Why play Nurse for 17 minutes in a pre-season game? When you were up 3-0 already after the 1st period.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

Forslund and Brown are a treat.

Its Joey Moss day, the boys will actually play abit but not too serious

Well Nurse is a horse, he plays a ton usually. Game is probably nothing for him.

 

[The Marquis]

That Daccord “save” though.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

While I like Forslund a lot, that's the second puck off the crossbar that he's credited as a outstanding save to the G. lol

 

[The Marquis]

Told my dad after I saw line ups for this one that the score will be 0-5+. So, the result was expected. What wasn’t, was how absent a few players seemed. The stats will be more advanced with the game being in Edmonton, so I’m looking forward to diving in.

He is use to 25+ minutes a game. This is a warmup for him

Ah, my former hometown of Port Angeles. Spent 40 years there before I finally got out to see the world.

Same reason they ran a near full nhl team

17 mins of preseason for him is like 10 mins in actuality. He’s a horse.

Are you new to preseason hockey?

Home teams always dress better rosters, it’s been that way for as long as I can remember.

That’s not true at all

 

[The Marquis]

Another game tomorrow! Whoooo!

 

[Raekwon]

That’s not true at all

You're wrong

 

[Three On Zero]

You're wrong

That’s already been debunked in games this preseason, so no. I am not

That was pretty much what Edmonton's roster should be. Like who played for them tonight that won't be starting opening night? Who was missing, Foegele, Kassian, Ceci, and Keith?
