GDT: Preseason #2 | Flyers at Canadiens | September 23, 2024 | 7:00 PM

During yesterday’s broadcast someone said that Tortorella was not going to be behind the bench for at least the first two games so I guess that Lappy is the guy tonight.

Can’t expect a head coach to actually do his job.

 

[deadhead]

The first two games are primarily AHL types or CHL types that will be in the AHL next season.
The NHL guys are just stretching their legs in these games.

After these games, probably the first group of cuts and then games become more like NHL tryouts.

Seems like an important thing for the coach to be participating in.

Yeah, the coach of the team that most will be playing on this season.

No, that does not provide any utility for the NHL team. He has all season to see them.

Nobody is taking performance by NHL talent against scrubs as a measuring stick of their progress.
These games are more for getting a look at players like Bonk, Luchanko, etc. before they get sent back to the CHL.

Once the first round of cuts are made, the games get more serious b/c you're playing against guys fighting to win NHL spots.

You do. Hell, you weigh such performance in practice as valid and good.
