GDT: 2024 Prospects Challenge, 9/13-16 at Harborcenter (BUF, BOS, CBJ, NJ, OTT, PIT)

[Chainshot]

Koivunen makes it 4-3 Pens with a mid-slot shot.

 

[Chainshot]

Murashov in, Gauthier out. Gauthier's been good. *shrug* Pens are splitting the game.

 

[Chainshot]

My, this officiating has been very Penguins-esque.

 

[Ehran]

My, this officiating has been very Penguins-esque.

It's in honor of Crosby resigning (for a fraction of the price of typical Maple Laffs top line players)

 

[Chainshot]

Some energetic 5-on-3 kill there with Helenius-Novikov-Laaouan.

 

[Chainshot]

5-3 Pens. That was... odd.

 

[HOOats]

I remain lower than most on Johnson. The skating isn't as good as expected whenever I see him in person. Novikov ahead of him by a fair amount.

 

[Chainshot]

It's getting muggy out there. Oh, and the Pens get called for it.

 

[Chainshot]

Some good pressure. That steal from Kulich was nice. Nadeau continues to be a presence in the net-front.

 

[Dingo44]

Kulich has the shot for sure but I really think the power play runs through Rosen. He's 100% going to be an NHL player.

NGL: It feels troubling that we are getting beaten in a prospects tournament by a team who's last high draft pick was so long ago the Dead Sea was only sick.

Penguins have a nice little group. Not one that will blow the doors off in a "prospect ranking" list, but those guys always overvalue prospects.

True, though they are only running five defensemen, one of whom wasn't around for any practices.

Does anyone know what happened to Brunet? He was on the ice for the first game but with Panocha and Bodin both getting dented, that's three of the seven defense they started with out.

He's stood out in a negative way. I'm not reading too much into it.

 

[Chainshot]

Neuchev from the slot moving left to right and it's 5-4.

 

[Chainshot]

Cool to see Miedema and Neuchev cutting up on the bench after Neuch's goal.

 

[Chainshot]

Cool that they are giving Leenders the third period.

Maybe you should try lying instead...

 

[Chainshot]

A rough shift from Komarov but Leenders bails him out on the 2nd mistake.

 

[Chainshot]

Helenius going to the crease and winds up in a wrestling match.

 

[Zman5778]

Helenius involved in a little scrum is nice to see.

 

[HOOats]

Helenius accosting a much bigger Penguin.

 

[Chainshot]

Dude... Broz.

6-4.

 

[Zman5778]

I think that was RJ that let Broz get behind him on the Pens' 6th goal. Whoops.

 

[Zman5778]

Laaouen just obliterated Koivunen. Just destroyed. Cleanly too.
