GDT: Preseason game #4: Islanders @ Devils

[Emperoreddy]

Had no idea about Blandisi's PK skills, if he can play RW and kill penalties while chipping in some goals of love to have him on the team.

He can play RW. Just don't know if he can play it well.

Also Moore is definitely in the top 6 easy.

Boulton is WAYYYYY out of Blandisi's weight range, has over 40 pounds on him and only 1 inch.

But Boulton is an old man, I'd love to see Blandisi drop him.

Screw you Boulton!

I'm surprised he hasn't tried running Keith like he did Marty in a preseason game 2 years ago. Probably cause he's only on a PTO now and no guaranteed contract. Doesn't want any shenanigans to ruin his chances.

Yeah that looks like it could be a hell of a pick up by Shero.

 

[R8Devs]

It's going to be:
Greene-Larsson
Merrill-Severson
Moore-Gelinas
Schlemko

I've liked Blandisi quite a bit for a while now.

I've been a lot higher on him than Graham Black, Pietilla, and all those other guys. I don't care for any of those guys. I do like Lorito too, though too small of a pro sample size yet.

Me too, as you can tell from my avatar.

Gelinas and Moore might be a defensive disaster but other than that it looks good.

if they are the pairing they'll be heavily protected. Moore can also play on Severson and they can push Merrill down but that depends on how the season goes.`

 

[MNDevilsfan]

Blandisi out with Zajac and Camm to start the 3rd on the PP

 

[Emperoreddy]

Kinky going the distance. Guess we are done with the other goalies.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Seems like they are experimenting a bit. Started with 2D and 3 fowards and then switched to 4 forwards and Lars.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Camm scores!! Omg we are winning.

 

[Bleedred]

It's going to be:
Greene-Larsson
Merrill-Severson
Moore-Gelinas
Schlemko

I always figured this is how it would go down, maybe the pairings would be different, but this would be the 7.

I just hope they don't sour on Gelinas and make him the number 7.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Will we at least have some highlights?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Will we at least have some highlights?

I hope so because it sounds like we scored some good goals.

 

[Bleedred]

Oddly enough, I actually never realized your avatar was Blandisi until now.

My eyes aren't that great anymore reading small print though, and I really couldn't make out his face either.

I could see Schlemko get healthy and take Gelly's spot. It's really on Gely though.

 

[Emperoreddy]

@Fireandicegame: Puck clearly sitting loose in Isles crease, but whistle blow as Devils tried to get to it.

Refs in preseason form.

I hope so because it sounds like we scored some good goals.

Blandisi's breakaway was a smooth goal, seemed like he knew what he wanted to do on the way in. Camm's goal was just pre season hockey, in the sense that if it was a regular season game he wouldnt have been in the crease like that and still standing. Other goal I wasnt watching tbh.

 

[Bleedred]

I could see that too. I hope it doesn't happen because we really need Gelly's offense.

He has seemed to fall out of favor with both of the previous coaching staff's though.

As long as he's producing a bit of offense, I think he stays in.

If he's not producing enough offense, I think they'll find him a little expendable to be in the every night lineup.

 

[NHL Fanatik*]

Now that was a nice goal by Boucher, not nice in the sense of a snipe cause the puck never left the ice, but very good awareness by Boucher to grab it behind him and then throw it in while falling down.

 

[ScottyK]

All the youngins playing well it seems

 

[MoonDragn]

Yes! about time Boucher!

Totally disagree. Lars, Severson, Moore, Greene and Merrill make up for it.

Gely needs to get better. Period.

Moore's goal sounded like one that usually doesn't beat an NHL level goaltender, unless it's Ray Emery or Blimpback.

Sounded like a clean point shot with no screen, that just dribbled past him.

YAY! Boucher scores! Needs to keep scoring if he Is gonna be on the team full time.
