GDT: post-season pre-postseason preseason hockey is here

[Canes]

but if edmondson or brady s look like skating donkeys like they did at times this season i dont want them getting chances over Fleury because they are vets...TVR for that matter as well

You're talking to the #1 Fleury fan here lol, so I understand

But for whatever reason, Fleury is always the first guy to sit even when the others play like absolute garbage so I won't be surprised when he's the one who sits

Thur 2:
Vatanen looks like a good addition
Skjei looks awful, he was sketchy already but he has regressed
Gardiner looks better but he could only go up
Fleury looks solid, like him much better than 3 of 4 other lefties playing today
TVR looks pretty good
Offense is definitely out of sync, expected.
Trocheck and Dzingle look better than the way the season ended.
Turbo doing Turbo
Geekie is aggressive
Everyone else is fairly invisible out there on O.

Concordes hitting the ground not so much a good thing, Tripp.

Third pairing righty behind peesh. He could move up the lineup to any pair as needed with injuries.

He might be too expensive for that though. Especially if they plan on keeping both Gardiner and Skjei

Well that’s a whole other conversation.

2nd pairing righty with Pesce. How quickly we forget that Pesce turned Faulk into a shutdown beast.

 

[HisIceness]

That was such an awesome sendoff. And proof that the market embraces the team, the fans just needed something that wasn't 9th place year after year.

The whole experience is weird..the announcing, the scene, the team.. after many months away.

I didn't notice it as much when watching other teams but now that it is us, it's much more pronounced to me.

Still better than mindless bingeing or no sports.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

HOW WAS MRÁZEK THUS FAR? SAW ONLY THE FIRST HALF OF THE FIRST. GOTTA... STUDY RIGHT NOW.

 

[Svechhammer]

Just your friendly reminder we gave up a 1st round pick for Skjei

Slavin-Hamilton
Pesce-Vatanan
Fleury-Gardiner

That right there is a solid defensive core if we can make it work

I'm still daydreaming that he will magically go beast-mode out of pure spite against the Rangers ha

a little rust, but some big saves, and a left to dry a couple of times.

I'm not going to lie, I thought I was going to miss sports, especially when things shut down right before March Madness and the NBA/NHL Playoffs but as it turns out I didn't miss it as much as I thought. I for one enjoyed the Canes and Predators classics that Fox Sports showed, many of which can't be found in full on YouTube or at all. Relived some good memories.

This, I don't know. It's cool they are back but this still feels like a cheap gimmick. I guess I'll just sit back and enjoy it since we may or may not get anything again for another 4-5 months.

It's a lot more likely that Adam Fox will score 3 goals against us in the series.

Everyone knew that was a horrible trade as soon as we made it

Oh wait...

I don't believe you. You are liar #liar.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

IF SKJEI PLAYS LIKE CRAP IN THE FIRST GAME, HE MUST GET AN AXE.

Not literally. YET.

THANKS, MIJA.

A Wolfpuck sighting!

He got pulled after giving up three goals

Could you imagine how bad this would be if the Doomsday scenario existed where we won the lottery but lost the pick because Toronto was also top 10.

That was such a bad trade from the start but could have been monumentally horrendous.

Tripp talking about using timeouts, drink

I don't want to even imagine such a world. That's like Cleveland Browns or Sacramento Kings type of terribad.
