GDT: Preseason GDT Pens vs Wings 1900hrs EST: Someone will be flying tonight

[MrBurghundy]

Hey a PP that actually gets the puck to the net. What a novel idea.

 

[Andy99]

Also, I can’t watch this game.I don’t understand why all of the Pens preseason games can’t be streamed on their website…

 

[AuroraBorealis]

C-team PP better than A.

 

[66-30-33]

The PP is better then Pens number 1 PP.

 

[PensandCaps]

I want Wagner to make the team somehow, Haven't had a speedy line 4 winger who could lay an actual hit in forever.

Need some type of size on this roster, and he can play.

Cal Foote (NJ) is on waivers today.

He's not a player.

Good play by Smith entering the zone and going to the net

 

[MrBurghundy]

It's almost embarrassing how much better this PP is than our "top" PP.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Cal Foote (NJ) is on waivers today.

Foote is absolutely a guy I would be interested in having a look

 

[eXile3]

I have not seen the other games. The PP looks good but by the sounds of it the actual PP unit has not?

 

[DearDiary]

The powerplay is clearly the fault of the coaches, not the star players who just stand around

Our 1st PP sucks dick, same ol shit just pass pass pass lose puck.

 

[Empoleon8771]

In hindsight, I wouldn't have signed Johnsson and would have instead signed Wagner.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

We are judging PP1 off of 1 preseason game. With a very minimal look at the new PPQB

Cool guys.

2 games.

That sounds right.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Sprong......lol

 

[Empoleon8771]

That play is an example of Smith's problems defensively. He was entirely way too casual trying to get back into position, he was relying on Johnsson to be playing defense despite being a winger. Unacceptable level of urgency from him.

 

[eXile3]

Didn’t even realize Spring was on the Wings.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

2 games.

Oh man....we're doomed than

 

[WickedWrister]

Lol Sprong

 

[The Old Master]

maybe we could trade for that sprog kid, we could really use a shot like his.

 

[PensandCaps]

In hindsight, I wouldn't have signed Johnsson and would have instead signed Wagner.

Bottom 6 looks interesting with Wagner, Poulin, DOC, Harkins looking good.

Hinostroza too. If only we could move that huge blob that will taking up a useful space in Carter.

And imo, I don't really care for Nieto compared to playing guys with some potential and grit. I like Hino more tbh.

Well to be fair, it's 2 preseason games, and all of last season looking the same way by and large.

 

[Empoleon8771]

It's actually surprising how bad Johnsson looks out here. Even in the context of him not being a NHLer, he flat out doesn't look good relative to AHL standards.

Yeah I agree with this, I like what I've seen from that entire group along with Hinostroza as well.
