GDT: Preseason Game 3: Sabres at Maple Leafs, 6:30 PM in West Lorne, Ontario (Hockeyville)

[NotABadPeriod]

VO really blending in with the pack of AHL’ers in the lineup tonight…

VO would be great if it was international rules and you could dress that 13th F to be a PP specialist.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

UPL has looked shaky the whole game so far..

 

[Chainshot]

Just put it on net -

 

[Ace]

I’d bury the commentary for confusing a huge Murray with a much smaller Olofsson…but really the forecheck puck strip they were calling should have been more than enough to give it away

I was thinking he meant it was on Matt Murray

 

[Ace]

UPL has looked shaky the whole game so far..

Whole career so far

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Whole career so far

That statement is correct as well, yes

 

[Fezzy126]

Seems like there's a career AHL dman that really impresses me every preseason.

I think last year it was Priskie, this year it's Davies

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Shots 24-9 Leafs, after 2

VO is equivalent to the chubby kid playing pickup basketball on the school blacktop who is automatic from that one spot so he just camps there the whole game.

I think Johsnon is just about nhl ready, but there's not really a spot for him. Send him to Rochester to play big minutes. Call him up at the first injury for the top 6. He is better than Bryson and Stillman by far. Possibly Joki as well, but there's no way they play him over a healthy Joker.

Surprised at how comfortable Johnson looks on the right side so far.

 

[Ralonzo]

Mittens is an elite talent? The hyperbole train is launching like a maglev.

Hope Davies doesn't have the same sort of season as Priskie did last year but yeah, having a similar feeling.

That last part is the biggest thing - him on his off-hand side has looked really solid thus far.

Rivet calls him an elite talent too. I don’t find it as crazy of a statement as you but it was an eyebrow raiser.

 

[Ralonzo]

And there's the third meathead goal

 

[Kublakhan]

Oof

Houser never even looked right on that one

 

[Weltschmerz]

not that great by Johnson

 

[Chainshot]

Need more from the forwards coming back there.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Would have liked Johnson to be stronger there.

 

[Gabrielor]

way to work back forwards.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Damn. Johnson trying to make up for the last goal with the sweet dangles

 

[Ralonzo]

I mean, when Johnson cleared the zone and all the forwards were still at the opposing blue line and the Leafs roared back in after he was involved in an o-zone shift cycle seconds earlier, I cant give Johnson too much grief for waving at the guy going by, he was dead legged.

Comes back dancing the next shift though. Wow.

 

[Gabrielor]

Johnson turned another dumb Kisakov play into a near-chance.

Nice shot Olofsson........BAHAHA
