GDT: Preds vs Kraken 10/15/24 7pm "Third Time is a Charm" edition

[hido]

My two cents on tonight:

• We're close to the oldest team in the league and we look it. Just no speed as a team.

Agreed. Albeit through three games.

My two cents through three games:

- it would be a whole lot cooler if Juuse was three inches taller.

Went to bed hopeful at the second intermission... What the heck did I wake up to?

I waffled on Fabbro, but deferred to him getting scratched a bunch as evidence of something I can't see, for some reason.

Maybe it's that Fabbro tries to be somewhat defensively responsible. If he'd just forget that completely, he might get a ton more TOI.

Goaltending has been brutal to start the season. Offensively I don’t think we’ve been terrible and we’re generating chances pretty consistently just not converting. Defense has also been pretty rough but that’s exacerbated from not getting bailed out by the goalie at all. Schenn and Lauzon both aren’t great but we also have no one else anywhere in the system that is close to NHL ready and brings some physicality so I don’t know what else we do there. Maybe Zadorov had no interest but in hindsight seems like we should have thrown money at him instead of Skjei. I was skeptical of the Skjei signing at the time but I agree with others he looks like a middle pairing guy not the high end guy for the contract we got.

On the bright side we’ve got Draisaitl and McDavid next game which always goes well for us. I still think this team will get it together but hopefully we don’t dig ourselves too big of a hole here early on in the season.

Seattle players wanted to score not only on ice, but on the bench too.
