GDT: Pre Season 9/16/18 1:00 PM Flyers @ Islanders NC

[Joedoggy]

Nice to see #17...So nice to see.

 

[PK Cronin]

Sbisa looks fine to me so far. Bellows is getting his chances. Kovar seems hesitant and he's not very fast, I'll give him more time. Cizikas line looks good. I'm unimpressed with dobson so far, he just seems scared to do anything but he just has a few good plays to open the second. I hate that the A is on an AHLer.

 

[PK Cronin]

Oh, and Koivula is non-existent.

 

[replayer]

Lehner didn't have a lot to do but looked solid. No goals in his first half game. Gibson in net now.

 

[PK Cronin]

Rough hit by Martin on Sanheim.

 

[replayer]

Goal for Aho. 3-0.

Good work by the entire Kovar line.

 

[Thrasymachus]

Good work by the entire Kovar line.

Kovar is quiet but has made some nice smart plays

 

[Wanderson]

I like his forechecking. Philly got big issues clearing their own zone when Kovar is on the ice.

 

[replayer]

End of the second, 3-0 Isles. The Barzal and Cizikas lines have been the best, I think.

The boys looking solid for the first pre season game. The flyers line up isn’t great but we can’t help that.

Wtf why is Dobson so good? Kid makes all the right plays.

 

[SI90]

One thing to remember about Kovar is he’s still learning English. Going to take time for him to get on the same page as everyone else and the systems and what not.

He’s a big boy. Takes up a lot of net.

And getting used to the small ice as well.

Leddy-Dobson
Hickey-Pulock
Toews-Boychuk

You know you want it!

I agree with Staples assessment.

Re: Kovar, looks like he’s still getting acclimated

That’s awfully close to Kavasha

Where did you read that Kovar doesn’t speak English? He has been living abroad for 5 years...

 

[steveat]

is that Greg "the Nose" Picker as the announcer? Why does he make that nasal sound?

 

[Thrasymachus]

Because he doesn’t have a good radio voice

He is just here because of his dad

Lou Lamoriello said it.

Thanks. I thought most of the players and teams in the KHL communicated in English since there are many international players on every roster. I guess I was wrong.

Kovar is Czech, and Czech is way closer to Russian, than to English, so Kovar speaks Russian... If Isles sign Panarin, Artemi will have someone to talk. And then hopefully Sorokin and Golyshev will come.
