GDT: Pre-Season Game #5 - 9.29.14 - vs. Florida - 7:30 PM - The Dress Rehearsal

[The Nightman]

They've posted highlights for every game including the Kansas City game (terrible quality ... but at least we got some).

They're not posting them in Game Highlights. That's the official stuff from the league, and they don't produce highlights for the pre-season. You have to get them off the main page in the morning. They typically don't go up at night. They don't seem to be archived in any of the video channels though.

Alright, Thanks!

No way half the seats were sat in for either game. People aren't good at judging attendance. Look at the sections individually and all I could see on the broadcast looked less than half full.

You're judging attendance based on a broadcast that doesn't even show the top two bowls...?

And the Stars twitter already said highlights would be up in morning.

Well if the upper levels were a lot fuller then I could be wrong. I'm not complaining though I'm happy about the higher preseason attendance.

Bob Sturm barely knows anything about other teams in the league either. We deserve better than him or Bruce.

agreed. bogorad could probably do it. and brent severyn was an excellent radio color commentator for the ducks years ago.

Seguin looks so happy to have people who can pass on the powerplay this year.

That 3.52 GPG doesnt look too bad after all, we might have to tone it down a little

I would not feel good seeing my Habs take a penalty against you guys. Price is awesome, but I get the feeling Dallas will be moving the puck all over the place, hard to keep track of.

If Dallas had an elite puck moving D-man like a Yandle even, I think that would actually be attainable.

Highlights.

I love how on that last goal both Hemsky and Spezza never even looked at the person that they ended up passing to. They already knew who was where before they even had the puck. That's how puck movement on the power play is done, fellas.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Sweet comeback win by our boys, in the rehearsal game!

But damn do those Panthers constantly give Dallas a tough time. Kind of glad they're in another conference.

Look, I'm here as a Sens fan who loves Spezza, but by the end of they year you're going to be pulling your hair out at drop passes to absolutely nobody.

If you can sum up Spezza's Ottawa career in three points, it would be:
1) PPG when healthy
2) giggles
3) drop passes to the other team.

That being said, I'm happy to see the chemistry he and Hemsky clearly had in the last quarter of last season isn't a fluke - they are amazing together. When Spezza isn't giving the puck away, y'all are going to love the Spez-Hemmer Show. It's a Big Top for sure.

He still does the infamous drop passes to nobody eh... I used to make fun of my buddy (Sens fan) all the time about them.

I'm curious to see if Ruff continues to load up the first power play line like he did last night. I think it is worth starting the season that way, and betting on your ability to score in the first minute of a power play rather than spreading out the talent.

Seeing those guys cycle the puck around the zone last night was hypnotizing.

He has drastically cut them down.

He has drastically cut them down.

That's good news.

They used to occur quite frequently a couple years ago, it was honestly so much fun to tease him about them.

Pretty impressive to be a PPG player and have a major flaw in the offensive zone. I'll take that from our 2nd line center.

More like the first 90 seconds. If he loads them up he's going to ride them for longer than a regular shift and then ride his bottom 6 to check hard directly following the PP. That is the only smart thing to do IMO.
