GDT: Preseason game 4: Stars @ Avs - October 1, 2023

[lionsDen]

Man Tufte has to get some early games this year, let cogs get less wear on them tires early

 

[Gruyeriev]

Jack Ahcan is 5’8”

 

[sethro109]

How many tiny dmen do we have tonight? Seems like we have like 3 Sam Girard size guys.

Well there's G who's 5'10, then there's Ahchan who's 5'8 and Malinski is 5'11. Everyone else is over 6 foot.

 

[Avs_19]

Five feet lower and that's a scoring chance for Drouin!

 

[Gruyeriev]

Aamodt is 5’ 11”

 

[sethro109]

Georgie looking good during that sequence.

Aamodt is 5’ 11”

Oh. My sports app has him listed at 6'0.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I’ve liked Ivan everytime I’ve had the chance to watch

 

[Gruyeriev]

Georgie looking good during that sequence.

I used hockeydb.com. Lol. Who knows. He plays bigger though so I don’t feel like he is the problem. Malinski is playing at like 5’6” so I guess it all balances out.

 

[Avsfan1921]

A lot of missed clears in the first causing them to spend more time than they should have in their own end, sloppy play as expected. No big period from anyone on the hopefuls end really.

Tufte the standout that period, Malinski the standout on the not-so-good side from my viewpoint.

 

[Balthazar]

Aamodt is 5’ 11”

And Shueneman is also 5'11!

Holy moly, that's the tiniest NHL defense I've ever seen. 5/6 dmen are under 6'...the only exception is Toews who isn't exactly big either.

I was watching the game and I was like "how come all our defensemen look so damn small"?

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Aamodt always looks smaller than 5'11" to me every time I see him.

 

[sethro109]

Why wouldn't he be happy? This game actually matters to him. He's trying to make the team.

 

[AvsFanJosh]

Whoever that MacKinnon kid is, looks like trash haha

 

[sethro109]

I can't remember, does MacK normally phone it in for preseason, or is this out of character?

Deja vu? (Sp) of nuke

Already on the decline.

I hope so. That would be huge for us. Hopefully less hookers though..... Or more hookers, but less getting cought with said hookers.

 

[Gruyeriev]

Yes. Hell the start of the regular season too. He has learned to “manage his game” well so he isn’t completely out of gas when it counts. I’d say he is a bit of a slow starter but stats will probably say the opposite.

 

[lionsDen]

How about hookers and no drugs… or drugs and no hookers ha

 

[Avs_19]

Tufte is very tall.

@Hasbro

 

[sethro109]

I forgot how big Tufte is. I know he's on skates, but Katie doesn't even come up to his shoulders.

 

[Avsboy]

Five feet lower and that's a scoring chance for Drouin!

He missed the net by a full Girard

 

[sethro109]

How about hookers and no drugs… or drugs and no hookers ha

 

[Metallo]

That was... weak.

 

[sethro109]

Yeah that goal let in by Georgie was baaaaad. Hopefully he gets all of those out of his system in preseason.
