GDT: Preseason Game 1: Islanders @ Devils - 7 P.M. - MSGSN2, MSGSN

Hey the AHL line almost did a thing

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Palat has been pretty bad today

 

[Bleedred]

I've read he's a real piece of shit in real life so I don't feel too sorry for him. Him being WCW TV champion should have been a sign that they were doomed lol

I know a lot of people will claim they were Team WWF/Raw all along, but I was Team WWF/Raw all along. Not WCW/Nitro. But I watched the first hour of it before Raw would come on and watched Thunder, Saturday Night and some of the pay per views.

But I was already over the guys I considered the stars of yesteryear who had invaded WCW. I found Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart so much more interesting than Hogan, who was already 68 years old by the time he came to WCW (or at least he looked that old) and having the WCW belt for as long as he held the WWF one the decade before. And Flair, who was probably 53 years old by that point. And the total HGH package Lex Luger. Sting was cool and still somewhat younger, but had to ride shotgun to the old guys and some of the WWF defectors. I even liked watching Vader more than them. He was one of the guys who went the other way from WCW to WWF. I even liked watching Yokozuna and all 600 pounds of him more than most of what was going on in WCW.

Macho Man actually being allowed to come out from the commentary table to compete again was pretty sweet.

Man, I LOVED wrestling in the 90s and even the 00s. I rarely watch it anymore. I was told when I was 11 or 12 I would grow out of it by 16 or 18. I grew out of it, but not until I guess my mid to late 30s?

Old people need more time to get warmed up

 

[TheUnseenHand]

This is scary

 

[My3Sons]

Same with the other team too.

yes. So both teams are going to be off on play style and such

 

[Hisch13r]

He's been warming up for years now I guess.

Stillman has at least looked okay. The other two look like...well AHL guys.

 

[njdevils1982]

The lineup is a mess. One actual line and three mix and match.

but, but ..... lets fly to f***ing europe on sunday for two games!!! weeee!!!

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yeah he had some positives, his partners have not

 

[Hisch13r]

but, but ..... lets fly to f***ing europe on sunday for two games!!! weeee.!

It also makes no sense we're flying out Sunday but the main team is only playing 3 preseason games. There's 4 games before they leave. So they're just skipping one?

 

[A1LeafNation]

yes. So both teams are going to be off on play style and such

Yup, like I said chalk it up to preseason

 

[MadDevil]

Empty net game in regular season form already.

Congratulations on becoming an honorary Albertan.

Some of these guys are not taking the trip I'm sure

 

[BostonDevil]

What we learned tonight:
- Dougie is back
- Worse than Isles
- No playoffs
- I want Cotter to change his number
- Mixed reviews on Rachel

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yeah they been playing quarter speed this period. Bratt briefly turned it back on and it was night and day

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

We’re so back

 

[Bleedred]

Really a meh game. Thought we could muster up more than 2 goals and 1 even strength goal with the guys we had out there, against the guys and two AHL goalies they had in there.

Goaltending was gigantically questionable again with each goalie allowing a weak one for us. I also thought we gave up some high quality chances, though those ones didn't actually go in. Really not much offensive pressure at all when we were down 3-2.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Another game sunk by goaltending

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Good to get that first loss out of the way immediately

 

[Emperoreddy]

THE PRESEASON CURSE IS BROKEN!

 

[Dylan9z9]

Love the passes to nobody .... hahaha

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Let's argue!

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Another game sunk by goaltending

I mean, it's kinda true. That goal against Daws was horrible
