GDT: GDT Game #III Pens vs Flames 1900hrs EST: The BlindWillyMcHurt Banishment Edition

[BobCole]

Great period. Flames netminder stood on his head.

 

[Jobeycool]

If not Harkins - who would be in the lineup? This team seems really thin when injuries come to play.

Harkins definitely needs a lucky bounce to score a goal.... that is who I picked to score lol...

 

[Pancakes]

I thought that was a horrendous period by Crosby's line and Letang.

PP looked good though. Malkin/EK look good

 

[66-30-33]

Atleast our backup is already doing better then our previous backup would do so far.

 

[canadianguy77]

Comparing 36 yo Letang to 33 old Karlsson isn't fair these years are exactly when players usually start falling off.. However, i'm concerned of Letang's game he certainly haven't looked better than last year which was a big step-back

I think they need to take a long look in the mirror. They’re playing him like he’s a number one guy and he’s clearly not that anymore.

 

[PaulD]

impressive new Pens - Smith, Karlsson, Eller

unimpressive new Pen - Graves

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I dunno wtf Huberdeau is doing with that dumb pass when he's in prime shooting position

He's like Thornton, Voracek, Oates, Backstrom etc...
Pass-first to the point of hurting the team at times.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Sprong has more goals than anyone on this team except Sid lol…

I always wanted to give Sprong a fair chance but geez.. Boeser has more goals than anyone eh

 

[The Grim Reaper]

4 periods of pretty good hockey. They’re capable of more though. Chemistry is starting to form better the players.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

He's watched film of the Pens 2020-2022 PP....

 

[SomeOldDude]

Sorry but Getzoff and Colby have radio voices

I miss Errey!

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Based on what I saw yesterday I'd go with Pitlick. But what do I know.

He may have the most offensive upside, but also the worst defense of all those guys listed.

 

[Andy99]

How come every netminder stands on his head against us? Can we get one lucky bounce for a change?

We need a Hornqvist.

No love for Ned? he's been solid so far including preseason.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Markstrom has been great for the Flames so far. Not surprised hes zoned in tonight. Happy to see our PP actually look deadly for a change. Keep it up boys.

Some bad shot location choices today and inability to bear down. We're making Markstrom look better than he is.

 

[Pancakes]

I don't mind Getzoff and Colby so far. I do think Errey is far more exciting as a color guy.

Mears I didn't hate but his relentless optimism and his attempt at creative goal calls last year....well I wasn't a fan of either of those qualities.

 

[TNT87]

Scoreless but the effort is clearly there. Not a dull period.

 

[vodeni]

we can't have all three playes on L1 taking it easy, not with what we are getting from L3 and L4. At least last night Rust was flying, tonight all three are just kind of there...anyways they all need to tighten up this a little bit...
Our chances were grade A, need a little bit of luck

 

[Andy99]

I always wanted to give Sprong a fair chance but geez.. Boeser has more goals than anyone eh

Sprong could’ve been signed as a cheap free agent who fills a weakness we have, lack of finishing, except he’s not “defensively conscience” enough for our head coach or something like that, and he doesnt PK lol

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Sid's gotta do better on faceoffs.... Lost a few on the PP that lead to clears. Lost a defensive draw or two also.

 

[Pancakes]

Extremely disappointed in DOC so far. I had him pegged as our breakout player this year and he's just disappearing out there again. He's capable of much better than he's showing.

 

[PaulD]

I think they need to take a long look in the mirror. They’re playing him like he’s a number one guy and he’s clearly not that anymore.

Sully plays Rust like he is a first liner. "Who is clearly not" ...ever.

and remember Sheary? Cant make any teams third line since leaving. But he was on Sullys first line.
Simone ? lol

More exciting. More insightful. Funnier than Colby even.
