GDT: PS #1 | "Midnight" | Jets @ Oilers | Sept 16 @ 7:00 PM MST

[Shathar]

Draisaitl just retired in mine at age 40. McDavid finished his career in Winnipeg. I took over the Oilers in 2034.

I"m discovering that I'm very cheap and when people don't sign the lowball offers I give them, I trade them for young potentially good dudes!

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Persson is solid.

Last time I was impressed with a surprise Dman out of nowhere like this was Tom Gilbert.


As badly as I want Bouchard in the AHL, he's making a solid case he's NHL ready.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Khaira can pack his ****. Doesn't care enough

His line looks great tonight. What are you talking about?

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

LOL Flames already disappointed in Talbot and Looch

Talbot lets 2 weak goals in 11 shots...while Flames have 34 shots

Looch looks like Looch

 

[CycloneSweep]

Persson, Klefbom, Bouchard and Lagesson all looked good.

Nuge, Neal, Nygard, Sheahan looked good on the forwards

Based on preseason game one, Khaira and Benning probably dropped down a few spots in the depth chart.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Talbot has allowed 2 goals on 7 shots against a Canucks team of AHLers.

 

[BigTime99]

What happened to nygard?

 

[Garbo Man]

Persson, Klefbom, Bouchard and Lagesson all looked good.

Nuge, Neal, Nygard, Sheahan looked good on the forwards

I'd add Haas to the list he had a pretty good game. Seems to be good on the dot too. Cave is good on the dot and i like that since we've been so bad on faceoffs for so long. Benning was bad, JJ looked sluggish most of the time and lazy to be honest. Chaisson looked really rusty as well.

I more or less agree. Lagesson looked a bit better than I was expecting.
Bouchard looked good but he still needs to clean his play up. Don't like how he looks when skating backwards.

Looch looks like Looch

He looks like if I put a pair of skates on my fridge and tossed it on the ice.

He's in mid season form.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I like Patrick Russell. As much a team first guy as this org has.

 

[ujju2]

Again, the one important bottom-9 name missing tonight was Granlund. If Khaira loses his spot, Granlund likely slots right in there. Jurco is hanging around too, but Granlund is the bigger name who I'd expect in the lineup on opening night anyways.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

He looks like if I put a pair of skates on my fridge and tossed it on the ice.

He's in mid season form.

That's why I call him fridgeman

 

[Skolman]

Hahaha Flames fans already blasting Looch and Talbot. They are your problem now friends

 

[McTonyBrar]

Lagesson looks noticeably better than Jones.

Pretty poor game by Jones.

Well... he did have to carry around the pylon Benning so..

 

[oobga]

Need Terry Jones to remind me that this wasn't a game against a full NHL roster before I get too positive about anything.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Well... he did have to carry around the pylon Benning so..

Judging by this game.

The only D that should be cut is Benning.

Jones looked meh but he was also with benning.

 

[MessierII]

I think Juj is getting a bit of a bad rep. He was casual but had some nice moments on the PK. Every line had its moments. We had the significantly better team and played as expected. I’m not taking too much from it.

 

[Skolman]

Just realized Gryba is with Calgary to, not sure how I missed that

 

[CycloneSweep]

Well... he did have to carry around the pylon Benning so..

Lagesson showed tonight why Jones played so well with him. Just a very solid, no nonsense defensemen.

If we found a way to have say Lagesson replace Russell on the bottom pairing and we trade him and replace him with a middle 6 forward the org could be better for it.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

The good news about Looch though, is we have proved that the contract IS tradable.


XD

I thought he was fine, would like to see more from him in preseason though.

 

[McTonyBrar]

he reminds me of Ozolnish a bit, the way he moves. hopefully he plays better defense.

I was thinking of the player to compare Persson to and that's who I was looking for. Plays some of his game like Ozolinsh

True but you have to remember how many guys we have that are fighting for forward jobs. Only guys who are locks are Nuge, Drai, McDavid and Neal. Everyone else is fighting for a roster spot and those are the guys who need to have good showings. It may be meaningless to us but with all this competition, a bad game or two can drop you down the depth chart in a hurry

That’s a little rash no? What if 10 games in whatever rookie plays with Klefbom loses his confidence and starts drowning. I don’t want more than 1 or maybe 2 rookies on the back end at absolute most.
