GDT: 2023 Running Preseason Thread

Severson isn’t playing well either

Atleast he has moments, Gudbranson is just Gudbranson

 

[MoeBartoli]

Gudbranson is actually getting worse as a player

In hindsight Elvis was a bad signing; Gudbranson was a bad signing at the moment ink hit the paper.

He and Bean are not a good pair, granted Bean is playing his first game, but dang.

No doubt, almost $10M between them a year!

 

[stevo61]

Hopefully Vincent has the balls to sit Gudbranson from time to time, hes one of those vets that get away with things over and over that would get young guys sent to the minors

 

[NotWendell]

Slammed his arms down on his pads in frustration. Then turned and forcefully jabbed at the puck with his stick in an attempt to get it out of the net.

The rest of the team feeds off that (the softie and the reaction) unfortunately.

 

[Jaxs]

Will Elvis get the game against Washington or might we see young Mr. Greaves?

Bean is playing his first game since November 2022. He was injured again in the camp.

Id imagine Martin gets in even if its just as a backup

Feels like Korpisalo from a few years ago. I doubt players care too much if a goalie has a reaction to a bad goal, just like they react to missing an empty net or something like that. They'll probably get the "here we go again" feeling if it continues at a high rate though

My bet is the goalies will be Martin and greaves.

 

[Jaxs]

I haven't checked, is Martin backing up tonight?

 

[stevo61]

I think its Cajan

 

[Viqsi]

Well, during the intermission I got really lucky treasure hunt results in a Roblox game I've been playing (it's my nephews' fault), so at least I'm in a good mood.

 

[stevo61]

I feel like our PK will really struggle against teams with huge shots from the wings

 

[Seedtype]

Good kill good kill.

 

[CBJ goalie]

I'm an Elvis fan, but I can see the confidence in his game is waining.
He needs to get back to basics. Make the save look simple, just stay square to the shooter.

 

[Seedtype]

YES.... FANTILLI?

EDIT YES

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

4-3 CBJ FANTILLI. Huge blast from the blue line almost, I was sure this ain't going in but it's a slapper and seems to hit something on the way.

 

[Viqsi]

Was that Fantilli? Obviously deflected but I couldn't tell who deflected it.

 

[stevo61]

Atta boy Fantilli, hopefully loosens him up a bit

 

[NotWendell]

THE SAUCE IS IN THE TOASTER!!! (I’ll explain later)

 

[Viqsi]

"New strategy. Collpase in the SECOND period. That way you have time to recover."

 

[Seedtype]

Even it didn't result in a goal it was still another great forecheck by that line.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Fantilli announces I’m here!

new?
