GDT: Preseason 9/27 - Sharks @ Coyotes - 7PM MST

[KG]

Just got out of the game.

I was really impressed with Lessio. Strong, fast-mover with a good shot. Great forecheck. I think he'ok beat out Domi. He didn't look out of place at all, but Lessio had the better game.

I really like ribs. He's patient and makes great passes. OEL is deadly on the PP.
.
Runbland looked decent. The goal we gave up was from his man. But he lost his stick so that happens. Griess looked good.

Sharks fan coming in peace. Interested in how two players looked, Matt Nieto and Freddie Hamilton. Did anyone notice them and how they played? Thanks in advance!

Hamilton played solid, sound hockey. Mistake free.

Hertl on the other hand, he's a freakin beast. Dude is going to be good for you guys.

When Domi got elbowed he was holding his mouth, was he okay?

Absolutely, just drawing a penalty.

Lessio vs Domi

My gut feeling is Lessio makes it. Which I am fine with. Kid has earned his way to the show.

But I don't feel like sending Domi back to juniors will help him. He already knows he is good.

Isn't it awesome? I mean, did anyone think out of all the players originally in camp, that it would come down to Lessio vs. Domi? I've been so stoked about Lessio since the day we drafted him, always reminded me of a faster Lucic. I think he's a steal.

Domi has the potential to be the most exciting player the Coyotes have had since Nagy, and for being just 18 years old and NEVER playing against men, DAMN has he looked impressive. Multiple games in which he and Lessio have been the best forwards on our squad.

With that said, I think Domi would benefit even more if he goes back for one more year. It's so tough because I want him on the team so bad, but this is the safer way it seems. Give Lessio the remaining spot and see if a trade is necessary come October/November.

A Memorial Cup year is just great for the experiece that it gives kids. London getting the Cup this year, Phoenix shouldn't think twice, and just send Domi back. London will do great this year and will win it all with him in it. Now if Vancouver can change their mind and send Horvat too, they'll REALLY win it all....

 

[PHX FireBirds18]

Yep, can anyone say Sjostrom

I don't buy the lack of finishing people keep commenting on. Lessio is a great goal scorer. Sometimes when you have a young player he's going balls to the wall and maybe he's just out there looking to make something happen rather than going bar down. I have no doubt once Lucas starts getting comfortable he will grip the stick a little looser and start capitalizing on all his chances.

There's been a few supporters of those guys.

 

[Rutkowski]

I kinda want Phoenix to not send Domi back down just as a **** you to Dale Hunter because he is a *******.

 

[Matzel]

Griess looked good.

Nice bounce back (score wise) from his last game. I watched it on TV and certainly didn't think he was the reason for the blow out. That said, getting 6 in your first start for your new club can mess with a keeper's head...

I believe he will quickly become a much better back-up option than LaBarbara was.

Phoenix has a few options with Lessio and Domi and Im real curious to see what happens. They could keep both.. they could decide to keep Domi and send Lessio to AHL and then he will be the very first call up...they could send Domi back to junior and Lessio to AHL and trade a dman and a pick for a 2nd liner.... This'll be interesting!!!!... I wouldnt doubt if they somehow keep them both up for some regular season games and see how they do. NHL preseason isn't near the same pace as NHL regular season and Phoenix has 9 games to decide what to do with Domi, so I guarentee they will keep him up for atleast a handful of those games.. Why not?

I would keep Domi up, send Lessio to AHL and see how Domi does. Because Phoenix has all season to see how Lessio does in the NHL because they can call him up whenever they want. May as well take advantage of that 9 game rule with Domi!!

Dome has so much confidence, light years ahead of a Turris or Boedker at same age. He has been one of the better forwards since day one in training camp.

I agree, but DT says it will be for the whole season or back to junior.

I know what you are saying, but like you said, in multiple games those two have been the best forwards. I don't think DM gives a rats --- about the Memorial Cup, he wants a winning team, and if these two gives him that they will both be here. Domi is so mature for his age it's scary. I wonder where he got his mental toughness from.

I agree on both your points. Maybe this is the year our first round pick sticks.

Don't say it!! Knock on wood, fast!

I'm not a fan of Tie either, but don't you think that's a little insensitive?

 

[Rielly Good]

So is domi sticking with the big club?

 

[WJF]

Prolly not. It's for the best that we send him down and let him dominate junior one more year. We'll find out Monday though.

Oh, he had to say it...

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]
