GDT: Preseason Game 2: Coyotes @ Flames - 6PM

[Muppet]

We've had like zero puck possession. Really weird lineup. Hope we don't have to watch this gain. It's like watching the last 5 years.

You can see the different style of play, though. Aggressive forecheck and even in our own end, they're pressuring the puck carrier instead of just standing around waiting for something to happen. It's a good chance for the coaching staff to see who stands out in this cluster**** of a lineup. Kempe and Crouse definitely doing that.

We have the oddest, perhaps saddest, lineup possible. I'm not sure you can read too much into this game.

Agree. They're definitely more aggressive. Just don't have enough people that can control the puck.

My main reading is Domingue has been pretty good here as he was for 2 periods in Anaheim.

One of the goals was a really nasty redirect, the other on the PK.

Merkley as well. Hanley also looks good. That last shift was epic. Domingue also looking very sharp.

 

[SniperHF]

If Kempe makes the team, I'm gonna be mixing him up with Perlini all season. Stupid number changes

 

[Muppet]

Demers has looked pretty solid, but the rest of the D are struggling a bit.

 

[Hinterland]

I thought the same.

PS: Demers does NOT look good so far. That last shift was terrible.

 

[Hinterland]

Demers has looked pretty solid, but the rest of the D are struggling a bit.

I disagree.
Not good. Wasn't nice to put him into that one for his first game though
Hanley by far the best defender so far in my view. He looks really good.

 

[SniperHF]

Crouse messed up big time on that one. Think it was Bennett who made the pass up ice to Gadreau.

EDIT: Louis' recently recovered mask takes a direct hit

 

[RemoAZ]

If that happened to Smith he'd have been sprawled all over the ice.

 

[Muppet]

You know it's a hard shot when it flips the goalie mask right off your head

 

[SniperHF]

If that happened to Smith he'd have been sprawled all over the ice.

Holding his knee.

 

[Hinterland]

Domingue really standing on his head which is good to see. If he gets games on a regular basis and not, like until now, either everything or nothing, I'm confident he'll play a good season.

 

[CoyotesFan18]

Sam Bennett looks about 10 years older with that beard

 

[RemoAZ]

So what's the difference between getting kicked out and getting a penalty?

 

[SniperHF]

So Johnny Gadreau is pretty good.

 

[RemoAZ]

So Johnny Gadreau is pretty good.

Nah he's too small

 

[Hinterland]

So Johnny Gadreau is pretty good.

Exchange Clendening with any of the regular defenders and he doesn't score here. Pathetic. Clendening got outmuscled by a midget

 

[Hinterland]

Nah he's too small

Nice effort but there's no way he gets three shots in a row against a proper NHL defense.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

So what's the difference between getting kicked out and getting a penalty?

I don't think there's any difference. First time - kicked out - second time - penalty.

 

[Muppet]

I think Calgary just got nuked, all the streams are dead.

Yeah wtf

Rocket man must have missed.
