GDT: #6 | Capitals at Flyers | Tuesday, October 22, 2024 | 6:00 PM Frenzy Time | ESPN

[Maurice of Orange]

Imagine introducing new people to hockey and bringing them to watch our games...

I wouldn’t subject new fans to live punishment at the WFC.

I haven’t gone to a game since before covy.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

This first period reminds me of one dale weise.

 

[Danko]

I fell asleep. Legit.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Don't worry guys, the average fan and media says Tortorella is the guy to establish this team to contend in a few years. As we can see on the ice, there's a lot to be excited about

 

[sa cyred]

This team looks night and day difference losing 2-0 with Nicky D playing 49 seconds so far

 

[GKJ]

They’re still hopelessly pathetic

 

[Juicy Pop]

Oooh, or maybe they're actually just trying to get Torts fired?

I can't believe that I enjoyed Hakstol days more than anything we've seen so far.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

I forgot Chychrun was a Capital. A 3rd and Jensen. A year after Utah traded him for 12th overall and two 2nds. Timing is everything selling high in a rebuild, eh?

Jensen was shit last season for the Caps but seems to have rebounded with the Sens so far.

I fell asleep. Legit.

Don’t worry you haven’t missed anything. Good game to fall asleep too.

 

[Magua]

That's where you wish Michkov was a wee-bit faster.

He’s quite unique in how he chains multiple plays together to consistently make his impacts, but it’s hard to be a below average-average undersized skater and be a number one 5v5 option. He can be. But for a team that prefers having only one star, it’s worth noting that it’s asking a lot from his skill-set.

For the better Kucherov talk, people might be shocked to learn Kucherov pops 90+% speed.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Well this would be a good year to have a high draft pick.

I also don’t think Torts lasts the season if it gets away from them early and in an ugly fashion

If Couts isn’t just starting slow then the season could be ugly. Lots of talent at the top of the draft though

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Hell ya 4 scoreless periods at home to start the season

 

[ponder719]

Oooh, or maybe they're actually just trying to get Torts fired?

I can't believe that I enjoyed Hakstol days more than anything we've seen so far.

Where have you gone now, Alain Vigneault? Our city turns its lonely eyes to you, ew ew ew...

 

[MrGuyPerson]

Well Zamula's gotta come off the powerplay. I will again request the below :

Farabee - Coots - Mich

Coots and Mich looked pretty solid at the end of the perio. I'm still not sure why Tippett is glued to Mich's line, but I guess we can see how it goes the rest of the game?

 

[Juicy Pop]

Oh well, if this is what they're gonna be, I'm fine with it... but Briere and the FO better realize that they need to do a full rebuild... which I'm 95% sure they won't do.

 

[Magua]

Half the East had to disappoint for the Flyers to still choke and miss the playoffs last year. A lot of improved older teams (like the Caps) or young teams back on track. They really have zero margin for error.

 

[Rebels57]

We are gonna have a shot at Hagens, Misa, Martone, and McQueen

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Hoping for a 9-0 game. Ngl.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Drysdale gets worse every shift. Where's the bottom?

 

[Magua]

Okay, announcer mixing up Tippett and Deslauriers is funny. And accurate right now?

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Nic D Hathaway and Cates the best shift of the game? You know things are going well.

 

[Danko]

I've seen quite enough of Zamula. I understand he needs to translate but would be nice to have a translator similar to mlb teams.

 

[Magua]

Drysdale gets worse every shift. Where's the bottom?

“They really wanted the 2025 2nd and Drysdale was the sweetener. Gauthier loves Disneyland more than anything, and he left them no options. He would’ve walked…..to Pirates of the Caribbean.”

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Drysdale gets worse every shift. Where's the bottom?

He’s a bottom pairing guy.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Imagine willingly playing Laughton with michkov

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

How am I just learning that Dany Heatley, 50 in 07 himself, is one of our pro scouts?
