GDT: Pre-Season Game #2: Toronto @ Montreal | 7pm

[notbias]

I was just gonna say this. He's always been one of those guys I admired from afar, but him in B&W just feels right. Healthy, he's probably our 3rd best winger.

I think people are underestimating what he can mean to this team if he can stay healthy, we will have some of the best forward depth if Nylander can move to the third line and drive it

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Not to pile on top of him, but what does Wayne Simmonds do exactly? His forecheck is lacking and offensive zone plays just die on his stick.

Ya I don't know how management could look at his play last year and think of giving him a 2 year 900k contract with NTC/M-NTC...

Kampf and Kase do look like 2/3 of a decent 3rd line, but Gusev doesn't look like he belongs

 

[TMLeafer]

How many tap ins did Dvorak have courtesy of Marner. I remember that 2 on 0 drop pass.

Add Mikeyev to that line.

 

[NinjaKick]

I just got in sire. The wife kept me out the game. That's hard.

My question is, has Richie been thuggin in out? He finna be our realest killa for life this season. See for those powerplays too sire, he finna play the second unit.

we all know your wife was making you do the laundry. work hard and get that twerk hard

[Guided by Veseys]

Semyonov is quite the player. Nice vision and has a really quick play style.

Not doing himself any favours today, considering he was already on the outside looking in.

Wife finna keep him off the pole

 

[TiMo15]

If just based on tonight game, Hill shouldn't got protected by the expansion draft.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

It is nice to Ritchie in the crease with the Habs defenders having trouble clearing him

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I feel bad for Holl. Going from Muzzin to Dahlstrom can't be easy

 

[Morgs]

Not doing himself any favours today, considering he was already on the outside looking in.

Crazy how a guy can be THAT good in the KHL and just not be even 4th line NHL level.

 

[Nylander88]

Ho-sang > Gusev

 

[fahad203]

One of Marlies that Dubas brought in and raised. He has a soft spot for all his Marlies players

To be fair though, hes only right handed shooter has NHL experience

 

[LastOne2100]

Honestly, no one has impressed me at all tonight, aside from SDA - who I hope can become a real player in a couple years.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Crazy how a guy can be THAT good in the KHL and just not be even 4th line NHL level.

He is essentially pretty slow and pretty weak. Smaller ice definitely makes it more physical

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Crazy how a guy can be THAT good in the KHL and just not be even 4th line NHL level.

He was on a 50 point pace two years ago in his first year in the NHL, and that was on NJ. I think he got hurt last year and he just hasn't been the same since.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Dahlstrom might be the worst defensive defensemen in terms of defensive awareness ever.

 

[Stephen]

Ho-sang > Gusev

Gusev isn’t very good.

 

[2 Slick]

Gusev sucks.

 

[Morgs]

He was on a 50 point pace two years ago in his first year in the NHL, and that was on NJ. I think he got hurt last year and he just hasn't been the same since.

Even when he was producing he was getting crushed in the underling metrics iirc. Just seems like he doesn't have the space and time like he did in the KHL like @Ziggdiezan just said.
