GDT: 2024-2025 Training Camp

[Ugene Magic]

That... sounds like DK is stretching awful hard there to me. And I'm not like... super sold on Groats like a lot of you seem to be. Like it could just be that the Sabre made a nice play at the line ya know?

It's not like him or Yager were top 5 picks. People are way overrating these guys as possible 1st year NHL'ers.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

lol OK DK

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I’ve somehow ended up on a Pirates stream

 

[BusinessGoose]

We don't need more than 3 preseason games. This is archaic and a waste of time.

7 is just dumb. Nearly 10% of a regular season. In pointless scrimmages with one team being a try-hard

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Same. Hell with all this. Time to go play some Helldivers.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Acciari having some jump, lol, dick riders on the pbp team.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Pleasant enough new radio voice, but he's devoid of any life.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Well Poulin is definitely done as a Penguin, Sullivan is never going to give him a shot now.

Yeah it’s just DK being contrarian to pour water on someone fans are really excited about.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Oh also before I leave it looks like NHL.com has a much more complete highlight of the "unacceptable" play by Groats on the Sabre's tying goal and I STILL have no idea what DK is talking about. Like... could Groats have MAYBE gotten to the wall faster to make a play there... maybe? Possibly?

Dude loves to grind his axes.

Tbh I don’t really feel like Poulin is really doing much from what I’ve read.

Kinda sucks but is what it is.

Yeah maybe it would be more clear if the clip was about 10 seconds longer, but it seems like a huge stretch. Especially because it was an awkward bounce on a point shot on the other side of the ice.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lol, getting dunked on by 3 jobbers on the Sabres.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Jobbers get the job done. That's what they're known for.

We gave him the attention he wanted, mission accomplished.

Good for DK getting his 36 extra clicks from the demographic bored enough to pay attention to a Pens preseason game

I hope he’s reading this

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Damn it Jarry.

 

[Goodleaf]

Typical Pens. Score, then immediately give up a 2 on 1, then take a penalty, and get scored on.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Also also that was a nice sequence by Glass there on the Hayes goal. Did like 75% of the work on that one.

OK ok time for some divin'

If DK is reading this - DK go get Yohe and Rossi and then go f*** each other out of existence.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don’t even know if I want to give credit to Glass or Hayes there, it wasn’t even a particularly nice goal and they look like they don’t care.

This team is just a bore to watch. Yes, I know it’s preseason but still.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Graves might still be very very bad. Thank god Sid and Geno aren’t 27.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Sloppy defense, sloppier goaltending, Pens are already in mid-season form.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

So far this preseason am worried about the feasibility of:

- Graves
- Acciari
- Glass

As everyday players you rely on.

Hayes actually looks ok for right now.

A lot can change though, both games have been really bad hockey.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Typical Pens. Score, then immediately give up a 2 on 1, then take a penalty, and get scored on.

The Pens don't even need to practice, they are ready for the season to start.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Yikes Hayes you're bad

Glass getting back to back games on the top line because Sullivan can't help himself with his bias, is hilarious, and yeah, I wasn't even remotely excited for this season and I don't know where I sit right now, I am probably more invested in who the Penguins waive and get claimed to see them succeed elsewhere.
