GDT: PS #7 // Flames @ Oilers // Sept 29 @ 1 PM MST // Streaming

What's up with that line?
Tmac messes with the only line that is working. Jesus christ man. Work on that God awful powerplay setup.

Rattie has a "minor injury" so they are experimenting with Rieder and possibly Aberg in the top 6. Only for tonight's game... unless it turns out Rattie has a shoulder injury cause you know Oilers.

Saturday game against Calgary late in the preseason when most of the prospects and AHLers are cut?

This game should definitely be on TV.

Sportsnet cheap as f*** this season so far. Wish we had a TSN deal like the Eastern teams.

 

[Del Preston]

Sportsnet has contracts with both teams and decided not to put the game on. Good job.

without looking I can guarantee there's darts on

 

[fuswald]

Rattie is day-to-day with a minor injury. Rattie will be back on the top line as soon as he's healthy.

That'll teach him for not coasting.

 

[McDrai]

Of course they televise the Toronto game later, you know, since they are the center of the universe.

 

[Canada Drai]

Haven't seen any updates apart from the topline of Rieder - McDavid - Nuge

His left index finger looks insanely long.

I bet every decision Sportsnet makes always precludes with the question “but how does this affect Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs?” before they ultimately decide anything lol

My LG HDTV Smart TV is not as smart. It can't even find internet. I've even had a tech in. They said it was outdated My Bluray is also supposed to connect, it doesn't it stopped, and I need to download updates to it when it can't connect..haha I've tried everything copy program on flash, run through HDMI, it won't even load updates..won't find my network, won't hit wifi, cheap crap. They always want you to buy a new one.

I have LG smart TV and it works great , I have had it since 2014 my wifi works great and I just use wireless dock from my computer to watch on big screen , you must of got a lemon LG was originally RCA who invented the TV , I have owned them all my life and never had one problem with them

Lucic!

Damn, I hear all the griping about him, and I get it, and I know it’s based on merit ~ how he’s performed. However, I also think it’s 95% poor coaching.

I believe he should be on a line that chips and dumps the puck in >50% of the time; and anchored to the front of the net on the PP. Get him engaged on the forecheck, separating bodies from pucks, and punish Dmen enough that they start to think twice about their gap control. Lucic getting a pass at full speed when entering the zone should probably never happen - much better to get the puck to an area he can barrel into.

The ineffectiveness of this coaching staff to work with the strengths and weaknesses of their players is worse, in my opinion, than any of the GMs moves (other than not having the balls to either fire TMac or get him the right players for his system in the first place).

• We saw it with Schultz being played over his head.
• We saw it with Eberle being the first option on a break out that never worked (hey, let’s ring the puck around the boards to eberle, so what if never works, that’s the system).
• And we’re seeing it with lucic - here’s a guy who made his name causing havoc in the Ozone, now let’s put him with two of the best controlled entry guys in the league, so you know, he never gets to do what he’s good at.

Mine is even older, I hate saying that, because it just leads to so many lines... The exact manufacturing time of mine is that my product may or may not be so smart. Some of the same model had built in smarts and others you had to buy a stick which they don't sell...

Its also plasma HDTV but works great in dark rec room. I still like it. Riding it till it breaks down.

Whoo! Nice saturday for finnish hockey fan. Hockey's been on about 6 hours already

I agree he can be an effective player on the team but he gets played in weird situations. Hopefully coaching staff will learn. Who am I kidding we still have the coach that playing him on 3 on3 was a good idea

Our biggest rival and a team with the art ross winner late in the preseason but Sportsnet couldn't be bothered to broadcast. What a joke.
