GDT: Preseason game 6 - Jets vs Wild

[Daximus]

I think people think Vesa is going to be like Laine or Ehlers but he isn't that type of player he is more workmanlike. He does a lot of things on the boards that will be appreciated by his linemates and he has enough skill to play with top players. I think Armia was seen as that type too but for whatever reason he couldn't find consistency hopefully KVes does

One thing Ves has that Armia never really did is a good shot, which is why many think he will be more of a shooter, He has a wicked one-timer.

Just caught the last few minutes of the period but Ehlers seems to be flying out there. Funny what being freed from the shackles of a dysfunctional line does to a player.

Too bad the Jets couldn't roll 5 lines. The 5th line would be Petan centering Laine...

 

[Neuf]

How is that even possible?!

He was CJ Franklin until the past year, so

[Daximus]

Yeah Zucker has Tanev speed too... just better hands.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Well, shit.

 

[Daximus]

Reichal has a muffin of a shot.

 

[MotionlessGravity]

Ehlers really starting to drive the line the last couple games. Good to see him elevating his game. So dynamic when he is going.

Just in case people haven't heard, Niku is only one of two AHL defensemen to win Best Defensemen in his rookie year.

Yeah but Niku did it a year younger so he's better.

 

[Daximus]

Niku was lost on that one.

 

[surixon]

Shoddy defense all around that shift....

 

[MotionlessGravity]

Niku caught watching from the slot there. Needed to pressure and seal the net there.

 

[bustamente]

Preseason defensive brain cramp

 

[Jetabre]

Niku was lost on that one.

lol yuuup.

 

[DharmaBum]

Lemieux and Niku eating popcorn on that goal

Not sure if this game shows we have great depth, or if it shows that the Wild should be very concerned. Very surprising we are even in this game on the road against the Wild’s starting lineup.
