GDT: Preseason Game 1. Oilers Jets beer leaguer.

[JordanGalhanth]

I luv Podz game! That was a game crushing hit that lead to the W! Might he a legit player there.

A good hockey hit from gritty effort, huh?

No wonder he didn't fit on the Canucks.

Leafs board is already on the edge of the cliff

Imagine unironically being a Leafs fan.

Thought that was a pretty good first game by the team.

We didn’t have many of our NHL players and neither did the Jets.

For our forwards I think all the guys who you would like to have a solid game did. Lavoie, Philp, Savoie, Podkolzin,
O’Reilly all had positive games. Hamblin, Cagguila and Wright were also good.

I thought the defense in general played pretty well and moved the puck well. You would expect it though against the forward group the Jets just iced.

Hopefully the goal gives Lavoie some confidence for a good camp. He picked it up after that goal. Podkolzin will be a lot more physical than Holloway was and his skating looked better than I expected.

Overall good first step.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Hockey's back, boys. Looking forward to this season and posting some memes.

Lavoie is more than a shot. He was good at throwing his weight around in the AHL in the 10 plus games I saw.

Pod reminds me of Kostin a bit

I mean, they're still the Coyotes at heart

Lavoie is more than a shot. He was good at throwing his weight around in the AHL in the 10 plus games I saw.

He's a little bit slow so he doesn't get in on as many hits as he could but he is strong for battling with big defenders.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I saw a tweet that Emberson looked good. this true?

 

[Senor Catface]

Yeah, he'll have trouble at this level having the same effect on pressure into the o-zone, but he has the frame to fight off guys on the cycle.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Not really noticeable so far.

Career story.

Foreshadowing?

Terrible uniforms and name. Its like a joke all the way.

Even the state name. What is a Utah?

Well this didn't clear it up for me:

Etymology. The name Utah derives from the name of the Ute tribe, meaning 'people of the mountains'. However, no such word exists in the Utes' language,


ummmm...

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Nice showings from Savoie, O’Reilly, Podz, Philp, Carrick, Dineen, and Gleason.

Lavoie had his moments but man his boots are slow. Brown isn’t good. Hoffman has one skate in retirement.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Reinforcing the sad reality he must face that he beat himself in a game of chicken and must pull that shit jersey on every night when he should be competing for a cup.

That really is a shit jersey and logo. Its like they landed on that one and somebody said this is just temporary till we find something. They never found a logo.

I take it you didnt watch the game.

I take it you didnt watch the game.

Couldn't get it anywhere. You're onto something sir. hehe

I tried and then nothing was working for a feed and gave up. I take it he played well.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Was that Collin Delia in our net? Had no idea he was at camp

 

[McFlyingV]

Was at the game. Really good showing from Emberson, O'Reilly, Savoie, Philp and Podkozlin. Some good moments out of Lavoie, Caggiula, Dineen, Nicholl, and Wright. The D moved the puck really well and the forwards played a great 2-way game in the neutral zone as a whole. Brown was underwhelming. Don't expect much out of Hoffman either, a warm body to fill a spot while Jarvente heals up.

They signed him this summer to be the back up in Bakersfield.

In this 1 game he stopped at the front of the net rather than doing a fly by more than McLeod has done his entire career.

Thanks. It sure wasn't something he'd be doing in Vancouver. Maybe the water is different here.

Saw some chatter about us not having much LD depth (mainly when Giordano and Dermott were discussed). But I’m pretty sure Gleason is a NHL dman if we get a injury on the left side.

That Podkolzin hit was dastardly.

 

[McFlyingV]

I saw a tweet that Emberson looked good. this true?

Yes he was excellent. Good skater and quality puck mover, definitely a step up so far on anything I've seen from Ceci with regards to puck retrievals, pivots/edge work, and break out pass. Not as big or strong as Ceci, but showed several instances of excellent defensive IQ reading lanes, good gap control, and good stick work. Very much in the M.E. Vlasic style of defender.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Yea i just saw that...RIP OAD lol

How pathetic that they have to around ripping down streams when they don't offer one themselves. Kind of shitty. Explains why I couldn't get a working stream anywhere. I mean this is first preseason game. Imagine them shutting down streams. lol

Gleason had some good moments tonight. Good skater and puck mover. Dermott was similar. The Oilers D as a whole all moved the puck well tonight outside of Brown.

This of course, in the context of the first preseason game of the year when you expect a lot of sloppy passes. I was pleasantly surprised with the puck movement.
