GDT: 2024-2025 Training Camp

[Honour Over Glory]

Nice heads up shot by Koivunen and tip by Puljujarvi. Oh look, movement results in a goal, it seems like this team’s top players love to be static while the rest move around.

I don't think Puljujarvi meant to put that puck in like that, I think he just didn't receive the puck well

Really nice movement on their powerplay. Broz and Koivunen were moving the puck very well on that PP, I want that duo to stick together.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Our d team powerplay is better than our a team pp lol

They had 3 quick touches and a shot on net with someone near the front - It’s not rocket science, but Sullivan & Co sure make it look that way.

Sabres have a lot of regulars in their line-up, to lose to this squad is comical if you’re Ruff.

 

[Empoleon8771]

You can definitely tell that Koivunen isn't a great skater, but the hands and IQ are just phenomenal.

Also love Blomqvist's mask.

 

[Gurglesons]

Lol talking about weird bias and then you showing yours with Glass, yeah no logical bloke thinks Glass is going to be a 2C, especially used as a RW when he should be playing 3C to grow into something more.

Puljujarvi with the PP goal.

The point is glass had success in the top six as a 2c. Using him in the bottom six is opposite of what he has had success in the NHL in.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Benson wasn’t tripped up, he lost a battle, MSG with the blind ass bias.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Why am I one of the few here that like Jesse P?

Cuz he's a ham n egger

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I’ve liked Broz as a prospect and he just has the look of a player that will be a solid NHL’er the more experience he gets.

 

[Al Smith]

Hollowell tied up a Sabre's stick in front of the net. We need to break this habit. Nice work by Broz on the boards to win the puck.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Why am I one of the few here that like Jesse P?

I don’t dislike Puljujarvi, I just don’t think Sullivan really wants him on the team.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I’ve liked Broz as a prospect and he just has the look of a player that will be a solid NHL’er the more experience he gets.

Yeah I'm honestly shocked with Broz, I know he had a strong year last year with Denver but he looks miles ahead of where I thought he would be. Same way in the rookie tournament.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Fantastic PK, barely survived 5 seconds lol.

 

[Gurglesons]

Absolute shit play by Howe.

 

[Pancakes]

I’ve liked Broz as a prospect and he just has the look of a player that will be a solid NHL’er the more experience he gets.

I was just gonna say he looks like he has NHL speed and hands so far in this one. Looked like he was making snap decisions with the puck too which I think was a weakness sometimes in the past where he'd hang on the perimeter and not be decisive enough.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yeah I'm honestly shocked with Broz, I know he had a strong year last year with Denver but he looks miles ahead of where I thought he would be. Same way in the rookie tournament.

I think with some usage in all situations in WBS and under MacDonald, he could be an early call-up. I don’t see him struggling in WBS.

 

[Gurglesons]

Yeah I'm honestly shocked with Broz, I know he had a strong year last year with Denver but he looks miles ahead of where I thought he would be. Same way in the rookie tournament.

Maybe that says something about how you track our prospects more so than the prospects.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Based on the little I've seen from Blomqvist so far, it seems like a good decision that the Penguins didn't go into this year with him as the backup. He looks very raw as a goalie, he's insanely athletic but I've already noticed him scrambling and giving out leaky rebounds a couple of time.

He's going to be a very good NHL goalie in 2-3 years, though.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Nice redirect

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I like Blomqvist as a goalie prospect, but he is way too deep in his net and makes himself smaller.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Maybe that says something about how you track our prospects more so than the prospects.

It's not exactly a hot take to think that a guy just coming out of college that didn't light it up in college isn't expected to look as good as Broz has been so far.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Graves looks better so far, glad to see it even though I know most here hate him.

 

[Gurglesons]

It's not exactly a hot take to think that a guy just coming out of college that didn't light it up in college isn't expected to look as good as Broz has been so far.

Anyone watching Broz knew he had potential as a prospect.

He hasn't been "as good". He had a hot prospect camp. Nothing else.

Young Pens can not be doing this against an NHL squad.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Still not a fan of Ludvig.

 

[Gurglesons]

As per usual Graves looks like the worst player on the ice.

Can't believe some of you guys thought he was going to be a good player for us lol.

Peterka, Kulich, BEnson is such a dope ass winger future for Buffalo.
