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

[AuroraBorealis]

Anyone else feeling the no-Mears relief?

 

[The Old Master]

C'mon Poulin..........

if you not cheating, your not trying

 

[Jobeycool]

whelp..

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Ned played that high glove just like Jarry.........f***

 

[AuroraBorealis]

That goal may have sealed Shea's fate.

 

[ColePens]

Sooooooo dat powerplay tho

 

[WickedWrister]

Hino overskated a bit there which allowed his man a good opportunity and Edmundson buries it

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

What was that earlier about the garbo powerplay being 100% on the "lazy superstars?" I'd like to hear more about that theory.

 

[66-30-33]

Meh, we are used to blowing games late anyway.

 

[WickedWrister]

That goal may have sealed Shea's fate.

IDK if thats 100% on him

 

[Jobeycool]

Mike Sullivan.. " We played the right way". "Loved how are guys competed ".

 

[Darren McCord]

Put Poulin on the Top PP at least he shoots everytime he gets it lol

 

[Jobeycool]

Smith was horrible near the end of the game.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Poulin probably dashed his chances with such a dumb penalty being on the PP.

 

[Turin]

WBS played Detroit to a draw, almost. COLUMBUS >>>

 

[WickedWrister]

Wasn't really blown away by anyone tonight obviously.

Think Z acquitted himself probably the best. Shea looks just as if not more competent than Ruh.

Harkin skates well and stirs shit up so at least he's contributing in that way.

Ty Smith had some good moments with the puck but also some bad and frustrating ones.

Noticed Poulin a few times. I want to say he was really good on the faceoffs apart from that boneheaded play on the PP where he gloved the puck resulting in a penalty.

Hayes doesn't look like he belongs at this level. Might've been the worst player on the ice IMO. Curious to see the charts.

 

[Andy99]

I’m so glad that every facet of our organization enjoys not scoring goals…it‘s the Sullivan way and thank god he’s here with us, one of the best coaches ever…

Very similar to the all top top players on this team.

Ok the charts don't like our 6/7 D battle lmao. That 2nd goal against probably hurts their analytics

 

[Darren McCord]

Nah he blocked the empty net so that evened out.

He really dashed his chances by shooting with the extra attacker into traffic. He should have just kept passing it around that’s the penguin way.

 

[WickedWrister]

You know, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one here that still enjoys watching hockey lmao.

Pssssh put those away puusy isn’t allowed to have a game with good advance stats.

I'll be honest I didn't notice him that much after the first goal (Nice assist). Other than when he broke his stick on the 5 on 3.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

I think Harkins' presence is going to cost Wagner a contract.

After tonight, my guess is Harkins and Zohorna start the season with the Pens as the 12/13 forwards.

Nylander and Puustinen will be called up first if a top six winger is hurt.

Poulin will be the first call if a center is hurt.

Hinostroza will the first call if they need a bottom six guy.

Ruhwedel and Shea will be the 6/7 defensemen unless POJ is banged up enough that it's worth keeping Smith instead of Shea. Smith didn't do enough on his own to win a job outright, but he'll be first up if an offensive defenseman or a left sided defenseman is hurt.

I think Friedman is just to chaotic for Sullivan to keep around.

it was more than just those goals, but they did have some good moments. just not enough.
