GDT: Preseason Game6: Coyotes @ Canucks - 7PM - NHL Network

Soderstrom is so good at those flick shots on net. I call it... the sodastream.

Nope. Try harder.

 

[Plub]

Soder is really going to make it hard to keep him off the team. So smooth and always makes the right play. He also manages to move the puck without taking a direct hit, something NONE of our other defensemen seem capable of doing. Our guys are always putting themselves in horrible spots where they end up getting lit up.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Fizz?

 

[Bandit34]

Completely off topic, but I think if I were to ever get a jersey it’d be Hinostroza. Damn I love that kid. Carry on.

Always thought you'd be a Garland guy.

Close enough.

 

[Muppet]

I demand to see the two Soda's combine for a goal.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I like how Soderstrom takes the puck up the ice. He calmly skates around the forechecking forward.

 

[SniperHF]

30 shots to 13 I thought we played Tippett Tuesday

 

[Muppet]

He calmly skates around the forechecking forward.

That's probably the most noticeable thing about Soderstrom's game during camp and preseason. He's ridiculously calm in all situations.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Can we trade for J Markstrom? I’m super impressed.

I saw the 2nd and 3rd. How did Hill look in the 1st? Were the goals stoppable?

Not at all. Blown coverages on both.

at what point does Hill start to be considered for more and more games?

Guy looks good

Probably will start the year as the backup and will replace one of the roster guys full time next season.

 

[Heldig]

Got to watch finally (missed first period)...team looks good. And many ahl guys impressed.

 

[Mosby]

I thought Hill was relatively solid. Some of the goals were poor defensive breakdowns and not his fault. He always seems to have a shaky first 10 minutes though and then he locks in so you just have to get past that.

I don’t see the game breaking talent in Hill that separates the really top end goalies but he has good puck stopping ability overall and I don’t think he costs his team the game. And he doesn’t get hurt getting out of bed either so that’s a nice little plus.

Goligoski was the worst defenseman on our team by a wide margin. Soderstrom was really good.

Schmaltz is forcing everything and doing way too much in the offensive zone. And then doing absolutely jack shit in the defensive zone, where he sucks. Let’s hope it’s rust. It seems like rust.

Vinny passed up way too many glorious shots for hope passes. Just shoot. Glad to see him so involved though.

Liked the board work and net presence from Crouse and Fischer.

Hayton looked like he’s moving MUCH better. Clearly a smart player.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

No reason to keep Goligoski when we can just move Chychrun up to 2nd line and give Capobianco the 3rd line duties. In fact, with Soderstrom playing so well, I'd love to see a Capo/Soda 3rd pairing.

OEL/Hjalmarsson
Chychrun/Demers
Capobianco/Soderstrom

make it so!!!!

 

[moosemeister]

Capo Should not play over Bush. Bush had an awesome camp

Oesterle actually looked very solid. I’ve liked his game quite a bit since the end of last season. Led the team in ice time this game.

Terrible coverage by Gologoski - Soderstrom is very smooth. I like our depth of AHLs - Bunting, Fasching, Chaput.

I am very glad we took Hayton over Quinn Hughes at this point. Hughes looked very week defensively - not saying he won't be a good player. I know you were very high on Quinn at draft time. I just like the way Hayton plays - Very smart - good hands with the puck.

I have a feeling Soderberg will be a key for our teams success. Not sure why - seems like always on the right side of the puck - fairly good size. I like him playing with Crouse.

I don't see a reason Hayton doesn't earn a spot and Soderstrom has a good chance also. Will need to see more of him.

We looked so much faster than Vancouver. With no Keller, Kessler and no OEL. It was a meaningless preseason game but was very encouraging.

He's not...Soderstrom is playing instead of Bush.

maybe it’s just me, I just don’t see anything special in Capo, like at all.

My list of Defense this camp

OEL
Hammer
Demers
Chych
Bush
Oesterle
Soderstrom (in no order up to this point)


Capo
Russo
Gross
Ness
Goligoski

I think Soderstrom is NHL ready, I just don’t think he outplayed anyone above his name on this list by a far enough margin to keep him in NA this year. One more year in Sweden can’t hurt.

I think the opening night D is

OEL - Demers
Chych - Hammer
Goose - Oesterle
Bush

Goligoski has been garbage in every game I watched him play. Literally the worst defenseman every game I watched him in. We need to figure out a way to trade him.

I would like to see

OEL - Demers
Chych - Hammer
Oesterle - Bush
Capo

Bush is a one dimensional specialist. The Canucks knew it too, every time he had the puck they backed off because they want him passing and not someone better. I like him as a 7D but Capo will be the better everyday player.
