GDT: Calgary at Vancouver April 13th , 7pm MT - Johnny Hockey and Arnold!! SN-W

[Nordberg]

And of course they score...
Give an assist to that heroic referee?

 

[DCDM]

Many draft
Such top 5

 

[MC Ride]

On the bright side, at least we're picking 4th if we lose.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Lol. Not gonna lie guys. This game is feeling a little tanky so far.

 

[MuffinMerc]

No Brodie = terrible PK

 

[Mr Lebowski]

Gaudreau looks very good. Adds a few pounds he could easily be an NHLer next year.

 

[Fantasy Billionaire]

That's a penalty

Ref supporting the tank.

 

[Anglesmith]

Both goals have been heavily influenced by puck luck. If you're going to lose for a tank, that's the preferable way to do it.

 

[MuffinMerc]

Monahan kept the puck against the wall surrounded by Canucks...

 

[austeane]

Well, that was vintage Sedinery

 

[Mr Lebowski]

Well, we've got the draft to look forward to. Again. Well this time it's 4th overall.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Gaudreau looks very good. Adds a few pounds he could easily be an NHLer next year.

Let's not get ahead of oursleves. Its one thing to add the weight but another entirely to learn to play with that extra weight. I wouldn't be averse to seeing him spend some time in the AHL next year.

This is a very bright spot IMO. With rumors that both the oilers and panthers like Draisaitl there is a little chance 1 of the top 3 guys fall to 4 (us!). Even if one of the top 3 guys fall they won't make it past 4, so this one spot could make a big difference

 

[The Red Mile]

For the greater good of our club, i want to lose this game.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Gaudreau looks so impressive. He's incredibly shifty, his vision is a step above everyone else's (his linemates are going to need time to adjust to how smart he is), and I knew he was hard on the puck, but I'm amazed at just how tenacious he is against NHL players.

Pick 4th would also make it less likely the Flames reach on a Ritchie, Virtanen or whoever.

 

[MuffinMerc]

Shea Weber doesn't like Gaudreau

 

[Mr Lebowski]

I phrased that wrong. I meant if he plays well at training camp it's not far fetched for him to make the roster. Because before nobody really considerd him starting in the NHL next year. I also think he should have a uear to adjust to pro in Abby.

 

[Flamesarmstrong22]

Heard from many oilers fan especially that mactavish loves Drasaitl and that if Ekblad is gone which now that Florida is picking #2 and I think they will take Ekblad that the oilers will take Drasaitl. That means whichever of Bennett or Reinhart that buffalo doesn't choose will fall to #4… so overall this is the only time in history I have hoped the canucks would beat us

 

[Nordberg]

Super impressed with Gaudreau so far. He will drive defenders crazy.

He's been good so far but I actually don't think he's fully playing 'his game' out there. Not skating that much, looking a little lost with the puck in our end. Overall very impressed so far, so so shifty, great nose for the puck.

 

[TychoFan]

I'm impressed by how quickly Arnold and Gaudreau were brought in the lineup. At times, Gaudreau (I forgot Arnold's number already) looked a little off, but that was with like a day of practice? I agree with other posters, he looks great, with some conditioning, he will be really impressive next year.

I don't really mind the two first goals, I just want to see how Gaudreau plays, I don't care if we win or lose.

Bennett or Reinhart. Man oh man the draft is going to be fun.

 

[Calculon]

Gaudreau's ice time in the first was 6:18; Arnold had 5:22 and went 3 for 6 on the draw.

 

[GetThePuckOut]

If Calgary loses they have a 31.3% chance of picking 5th. That's better odds than Buffalo has of picking 1st.

Let's wait for the lottery before locking in the 4th pick.
