GDT: 2023 Running Preseason Thread

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Ok, it's that time of the game again, time to collapse... But Greaves keeps it out.

4-1 STL gets on the board, nothing Greaves could do about that, wide open net as they get the puck to the other side. (Maaaybe Greaves overcommitted originally, but that kind of a pass should never go through the defense.)

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Unlucky there

 

[MoeBartoli]

Too much sustained pressure. I thought Severson was slow to react

I think he thought Hayes had actually got a shot off but it just went on by to Vrana. Definitely overcommitted.
But he's doing his job. I'm not worrying yet.

They are giving it to Voronkov and the dude just calmly continues to do his job without a blink. Love the selfcontrol. Doesn't look like the 4th line goon that'll take dumb penalties. Reminds me more of a Tkachuk/Marchand type controlled pest ( -skill, +size)

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

A rare 2-on-1 against CBJ (or 3-on-1 even) but what I found noteworthy is that right after the initial situation, there's all five Blue Jackets standing around the goal. (Literally standing though, but we'll take it...)

Red alarm

I mean, is there a franchise with worse goaltending situation than Columbus ?

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

4-2 STL PP Sammy Blais a bit too much time on his hands in front of Greaves and slides it under him. This is on Greaves but I think the D should've applied some pressure too.

Oof moment doesn't need Elvis I think. And now another penalty, yup, going according to the script here again.

 

[Seedtype]

OOF, Greaves wants that one back, heh.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Looking like the last game. Get a lead and then dive into a funk

 

[Seedtype]

Did the coaches tell them to start taking it easy???? lol

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I feel like I watched this game already on Saturday

 

[I3LI3]

laine winning 6 of 9 draws so far is a positive

 

[Jaxs]

Don't make me have to retract my earlier post Jackets!

 

[NotWendell]

After both goals Jet gave up, he just calmly skated away from the net. Didn’t even touch the puck.

You really like this team? LOL

 

[Seedtype]

Alright alright, let's just have a good third period. We need to keep it clean.

Since before they existed.

Nice

I will be shocked if Voronkov is not a regular bottom 12 player by the end of the season. He looks absolutely massive out there with decent skating for his size

I think he looks like he's in sludge. The Blues are a very slow team so it seems fine for now but I think he'll have a hard time keeping up with our main competition. I'd like to see him drop some fat to get his energy up, come up in December. Jarmo thinks he's on the starting roster but there's about 16 guys that have the same or better odds.

Showing poor discipline

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Severson with a mean streak

 

[aRussian]

Team needs a late game diaper, it seems

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Our PK blows

Possibly. I certainly didn’t think he was 240
