GDT: Rolling Preseason GDT | Game 8 | at Chicago | 9/29 8PM | NHLN

[thebus88]

Pumped for hockey. Good to see ANY of the players play together, especially some we/I haven't seen very much of.

I'm still on the Swedish JD bandwagon, although this is 'make it or break it' time now.

I see Davidsson, Vigneault, and Robinson impressing. I have varying levels of hope for Duclair and Milano. I have hope for Sedlak to surprise or at least be able to show a bit more with some extra ice time also.

Merzlikins looked "surprisingly" good in the time I saw him play in TC, will be interesting to see how he handles some better shooters.

Game 1 of Unsustainability is upon us.

Man Kukan can fly

 

[Hello Johnny]

Dubois laid that guy out.

 

[Theo Von]

PLD just BODIED that Sabre infront of the net. Holy moly. What a hit.

Milano and Dubinsky are buzzing out there.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Dubinsky looks fast , Milano has looked very good, and Pld just separated someone’s soul from their body . Also Matiss has looked very good

 

[KJ Dangler]

Abramov

 

[MoeBartoli]

All right! The PowerPlay is already in midseason form

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Man Kukan can fly

Speaking of Kukan, what is the correct pronunciation of his name? In Cleveland, I've heard the first syllable stressed most of the time, but McElligott stresses the second syllable.

Messy game, but that's to be expected. I'd wait until after they work on systems before we judge the technical play as a team, though

According to this it's pronounced "KOO-kahn."

 

[Theo Von]

As expected, most of the Jackets look like they’re skating in knee deep quick sand.

 

[Viqsi]

Savard doing the redemption thing.

 

[Peanut]

Did Kivlenieks get injured I thought he was gonna play the whole game

 

[KJ Dangler]

Thiessen is bad

Don’t think so, just pulled him a little early , I’m thinking

 

[stevo61]

Cross, Theissen and Clendening should pack their bags

 

[Viqsi]

I swear to G-d, Justin St. Pierre keeps managing to skate into the play rather than away from it.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Thiessen is bad

Is there an accountant in the stands we can warm up?

 

[Viqsi]

Thiessen is bad

He's been really good in the AHL in the recent past. But yeah, having a 0.000 SV% is not a good look.

...and as I type that, he manages to make a save.

Damn you are right totally misread the article on NHL.com

You jinxed him and broke his streak.

 

[Hello Johnny]

- Savard looking good
- Dubinsky looks motivated
- Kukan having a good game
- Abramov might still need some time but has a ton of potential
- Wanted to see more of Kivlenieks
- PLD is a force

God, I could watch this for hours.

Abramov has been selfish with the puck tonight, IMO. Which can be a good thing and a bad thing... Also, Davidsson has went unnoticed aside from absorbing a decent collision in the first.
