GDT: Pens at Wings

[KIRK]

Has Jokinen earned this board's respect yet? Or you guys still trying to ditch him for cap space?

Oh, I'm not ready to put him in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

 

[BigBenSF*]

Oh yeah, Niskanen is terrible all right.

I always liked him, not in this role specifically though. The versatility in a team as injury cursed as this one is liquid gold. He'll keep Glass off the third line too.

 

[Will Hunting]

Loved Beau going into the corner with two guys on him, protecting, and then feeding the point. Most underappreciated puck retriever on the team and, outside of Sid and Geno, arguably the best.

Noticed that, too. BB is working perfectly on the boards. He also made that hit which sent Sheahan down to the ice and he was also the one who sent Sutter to that breakaway. All those little things are there.

Nice goal by juice.

 

[Pancakes]

Continues to impress me how physical Beau Bennett is. He really likes to throw the body around. Not what I expected when we drafted him.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that.


Oh, and...Dupuis!

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Duper! Nice!

 

[Fordy]

Dupuis has seen his shadow. Five more years of KCD.

Did staggy just say they are going to send down depres? Didn't they say at the end of last season he was a top 6 guy

Duperstar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best (regular season) line in hockey.

I'm coming around on his being on the third line being a good thing. If he can put up a few points with Sutter it will make it easier on Sid and Geno.

May as well trade Despres now. Niskanen won't be going anywhere, not after getting a preseason assist.

 

[End of Line]

Holy hell what a pass by Sid.

 

[Stad]

Crosby in midseason form lol.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

KCD 5 lyf.

 

[Crafton]

Jokinen is smooth. I like seeing a player earn their spot.

he could easily appropriate Josh Smith's nickname. lets call him 'J-Smoove'

That was before scuderi was signed

That would be sad if it weren't so comically true.

 

[gdsmack267]

Best period of the preaeason so far. looked really solid

 

[ByeBye]

Love the subtle pushes Bennett gets after the last whistle. He's surprisingly physical and starts to piss people off.

 

[Pancakes]

Sucks that Beau is probably going to the third line based on how Jussi is playing but I think the upside on that is Beau will add some skill to that line and he's actually quite solid defensively so he'll fit in well regardless of where we play him.

Just as long as he's not on the damned fourth line. Oh and Glass better not be on that third line other than sporadically. I'd say he better not be on the 3rd line at all but I know Bylsma too well to hope for anything other than that Glass' third line time is limited.

 

[66-30-33]

Sucks being sick as a dog, I can't get into this game 1 bit.

Clearly you didn't hear the NHL Network player evaluation during the break.
