Predators Hockey Discussion 22-23

[Scoresberg]

3-1. Evangelista on a break-away. Nice goal from him.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Evangelista can finish. No doubt about that. That was smooth.

Boy...that line is head and shoulders above anyone else right now. Either side of the ice.

That was an impressive goal from d-zone to net.

 

[Soundgarden]

Paarsinen!

 

[Scoresberg]

What a pass by Evangelista and Pärssinen makes it 4-1. Brillian stuff from that line.

That was a beautiful sequence from him. Good decision and placement on the dump in. Excellent retrieval. High level execution on that sequence all the way around.

Kondelik can't buy a goal. He's too use to passing the puck his stick doesn't understand shoot.

 

[triggrman]

Prokop looks good for a dude that big......

Nice.

 

[Scoresberg]

Huntington. 5-1. Hausinger again causing havoc in front of the net.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Mutter wants to fight

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Parsinnen is excellent on the PK

 

[Soundgarden]

Huntington again, nice looking PP.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Another slick touch pass by Evangelista.

 

[Soundgarden]

Nice win. Holt looked solid after a shaky beginning. Really excited for our future after tonight.

 

[herzausstein]

Braden Holt played really composed in the 3rd and shootout

 

[triggrman]

Another slick touch pass by Evangelista.

yeah, that kid is a player for sure.

 

[Scoresberg]

If Evangelista’s offensive game translates.. watch out

 

[Scoresberg]

Some clips from today’s game:

 

[Flgatorguy87]

I'll say I don't think it's any coincidence that Evangelista had his best game playing with Afanasyev and Parssinen. Parssinen sees the game extremely well and it seemed to be almost immediate Preds possession when he was on the ice. I think that's also a factor for the strong tourney Afanasyev had. Players feed off each other, and that seemed to be a really nice fit today. If they don't make it, I hope we see that line in Milwaukee.

 

[herzausstein]

Didnt see Holt on the roster for main camp. Any chance he could be added? Anyways on 2 days till full camp begins

 

[beardawg]

Aside of the obvious standouts, I was at the game against Carolina yesterday and really noticed Del Gazio on the ice. Could be a solid bottom pairing, PP2 guy

I will be a little surprised if Milwaukee isn't a "powerhouse" this season. I mean, it's always hard to really predict with AHL teams. But if all of these guys are there and we have a whole raft of top AHL veterans to go with them and coach Taylor back...

 

[Olderfan]

Glass has to be pretty darn good to win out over Parssinen if it comes to that. And Afanasyev is as ready as anyone I’ve seen lately. No offense meant to Tolvanen or Tomasino but Afanasyev looks readier than they did and they were pretty good last year. A couple of these rookies need some NHL ice time to continue the youth movement. Certainly I think I’ve seen better players than Cousins and Kunin; just less experienced.

 

[nine_inch_fang]

Luckily, Cousins and Kunin aren't taking up space anymore.

Ditto. but ask Viqsi. There are some teams who are going to bury a lot of NHL contracts or are getting a lot of quantity. (looking at you Bruins).

I hate to do it like this but Afanasyev and Parssinen are waiver exempt and glass isnt so glass might get priority when it comes to roster spots as he might be a easy waiver target due to draft pedigree and performance in the ahl last season.

It might get him the first look but if guys behind him are ready and playing better, they’ll take his job
