GDT: Game II Pens vs Caps Oct 13th 1930hrs: Friday the 13th

Yeah I think Graves hasn't quite hit my expectations for him, but purely in comparison to Dumoulin he's a huge upgrade.

 

[K Fleur]

Cooley is gonna be a beast.

He’s gonna come home too. Just like Saad

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I see the concern about Graves but he's an upgrade to Dumo for sure.

He's not sliding aimlessly on the ice and can make a pass or two.

Though I have seen some stupid plays/roving.

And I'm not a size queen but...

Heavy shot, too. Probably won't score 20 goals or anything but he'll get pucks on net and hopefully low on the goalie's pads for rebounds.

Wait, I thought Acciari was suppose to be the answer, still waiting.

Acciari is just fine. 2 SOG 2 Hits and 2 big blocked shots.

He be fine my man

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Arizona looked good. I watched the first 20 mins. It was like a different team.

Cooley looked great in the preseason. I'd like to see them in their tiny barn.

 

[K Fleur]

EK is just so awesome.

It’s gonna be a whole season of me singing his praises and ignoring any faults.

 

[vodeni]

I thin in 25 games people are going to love Graves. I think he is just nervous and really wrestling with decision making.

In about 25 games people will be diggin.

he's been super solid tonight, the first game was a mess, but tonight he has been good

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Heavy shot, too. Probably won't score 20 goals or anything but he'll get pucks on net and hopefully low on the goalie's pads for rebounds.

Goal scoring from the D is hugely underrated. Especially in the playoffs.


If we make it.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

He’s gonna come home too. Just like Saad

That would rule.

...

Hey wait a minute that didn't happen!

 

[ColePens]

EK is just so awesome.

It’s gonna be a whole season of me singing praises and ignoring any faults.

Amen. He plays a position passive defensive game. I can see why people would be frustrated from time to time because it looks passive but it's with purpose.

I'll gladly ignore his flaws because his movement is beautiful.

FINALLY SMITH!

GENO 4 PT

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Huge. Hope that gets Smith going

 

[Empoleon8771]

What an absolute snipe from Smith!

The 2nd line getting rewarded for having a great game

 

[vodeni]

it worked finally

 

[SEALBound]

There it is! Atta baby Smithy!

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

"Alex gives you so much more than just goals"

Like f***ing what? Charging?

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

This team is special

 

[WickedWrister]

I muted whatever the advert was and then they come back and make like 5 excuses for it. I've never heard marketing like that.

They will have to adjust some start times but I think thats a relatively minor inconvenience. NHL marketing is painfully vanilla, but I'll at least check it out. Get to see every goal from every game . Better than a Toy Story broadcast.

REILLY SMITH LFG!!!

Geno 4 pt night

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Smith finally!!!!!!!!

 

[The Old Master]

That would rule.

...

Hey wait a minute that didn't happen!

every off season

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Smith was so due

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Great play Geno!

And Smith finished!

 

[Fordy]

and he gets one. 2nd line was huge all night

 

[OnMyOwn]

Finally. He’s been generating a ton of chances. Great game by G tonight.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

f*** yeah Smith!

Damn Geno don't hurt 'em

 

[WickedWrister]

What a backcheck by Geno! Sully is probably fully erect right now
