GDT: 2024-2025 Training Camp

Pretty much. They're meeting expectations lol

This isn't me blaming the core, but this team looks like the team with a late 30s core and nothing but negative value additions in the off-season.

They are what we thought they were

@Le Magnifique 66 beat me by a second.

"That was supposed to be a one-timer for Malkin but Letang put it in the wrong spot."

No way!

No way!

So, in other words, is there a way to blame Malkin?

Rakell is such an empty suit as a forward. If he ain't scoring he ain't bringing anything. Never understood the new contract for a 30 plus soff player. He puts the graves in forward.

 

[Gurglesons]

That goal lolll

Really weird take on Rakell tbh.

 

[WickedWrister]

Ok that was filthy

 

[Zirakzigil]

Woot!

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Jesus, would it be that hard to play like that more than 4 minutes in a game. When the puck moves like that it's still so beautiful to watch

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Alright alright even I can't find anything snarky to say about that sequence. Very nice.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

I just realized the on ice jerseys are made by Fanatics.

When will we see a jersey just disintegrate during a game?

 

[akapidots]

Gotta keep Geno and Bunting together

 

[Pancakes]

Move that man to wing he's washed up

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

Here I was joking about necer watching preseason games, now look at me watching this game.

 

[Gurglesons]

Still really liking Pickering’s game.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Malkin may be the only forward on the roster with any deception in his game.

Still love the guy.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

I love that pairing, but Rakell doesn't fit.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

The goals are nice of course but it's also good to see Malkin continuing to create turnovers. The good kind, I mean.

 

[Duffy13]

Sportsnet is just so awful, I can't wait for proper homer glasses broadcasts.

 

[WickedWrister]

Larsson looking good

 

[Empoleon8771]

I've been entirely unimpressed with Grzelcyk so far.

I do like what I've seen from Beauvillier though. I think Beauvillier on L1 and O'Connor on L3 is the obvious decision to make, I think O'Connor really beefs up that 3rd line.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I still don't understand the hesitation for many to buy into his potential.

 

[vodeni]

I liked Pickering IQ on that shift

Eh. I disagree on this. Beau has done nothing to make me thing he should play above DOC.

Gryz has been dog shit tonight.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

He was a Hextall pick, and therefore, nothing positive can ever come from his time as GM, obviously.
