GDT: Preseason #3 | "Choo Choo" | Canucks @ Oilers | Sept 19 | 7 PM | SN1

[Shathar]

I hope those Euro dudes are ok with going down to the A for a bit. To their credit, I think it's almost impossible to 'just' walk into a NA rink and play to your potential.

 

[McDNicks17]

I JUST GOT HOME AND SAW THE SCORE. ARE WE PANICKING?! SHOULD I PANIC?

 

[Del Preston]

Markstrom is an underrated netminder.

 

[TheNumber4]

Couple nice passes there by Benson...

 

[BlackDogg]

Only slight derailment

The Disorient express

 

[yukoner88]

chill man, I only stated something that would be nice to have, I wasn't complaining

 

[Ritchie Valens]

It's only preseason.
It's only preseason.

 

[McFlash97]

Lol ..typical Oilers. Koskinen is a sieve. Doesnt matter if this is his first game. Just another scrub from Europe.

 

[nexttothemoon]

All NHL shots are hard to stop... unless you are the opposing goalie... then it seems quite easy.

Looks like Benning.

There's no way you can put ANY blame on Starrett for that goal. I think a lot of people here don't honestly know how hard it is to save a puck on a shot like that. The 2 high goals on Koski are hard shots to stop the cross seam pass is one of the hardest shots to stop. The 4th goal Koski should've had and the goal on Starrett is actually a really hard shot to stop. Far side just under the blocker and over the pad.

I wasn't putting blame on him, you guys misunderstood what I said

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

I think previous games he was making small smart plays, but today looks rough for him.

Fair enough, he looked okay last game.
Overall camp has been a loss though. With spots there to grab, I was hoping he'd show a little separation, or signs of it at least.
We desperately need some of these forward prospects turn out.

Caleb Jones just put on a defensive clinic with the puck retrieval and moving the puck up the ice with heavy forecheck.

Who said we had NHL shots?

Are you watching AHL games from last year?

 

[TheNumber4]

Holy shit. Another turnover by Benning. Get this turd off this team, he's supposed to be one of the "veterans" this game.

 

[walktheboulavard]

No I am watching Preseason hockey

 

[Garbo Man]

Then you obviously wrote something you didn't mean because you literally said you wish we had a goalie (especially a young one) that would step up and stop those. There's legit no other way to interpret that sentence

 

[Del Preston]

That was just dumb.

 

[Sanchez]

Another dumb penalty. Tippet should be grumpy in his post game interview.

 

[CycloneSweep]

No I am watching Preseason hockey

Cause your post literally didn't happen

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This team is more stupid than bad. I’d prefer bad.

 

[nexttothemoon]

If Burdasov plays and scores a goal tomorrow... sign him on the spot and cut/waive about 15 players from tonight.

Slight overreaction maybe... just slight.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Watching these forwards create absolutely nothing for 60 mins reminds me how ridiculously good McDavid is.

 

[YakDavid]

Seems like again more players who were fighting for spots completely dropping the ball
