GDT: Preseason Game 2: Devils @ Canadiens - 7 P.M.

[Guttersniped]

The other team was icing more than like 3-4 regulars. Talent can sometimes overcome stuff like that. They also had two less penalties.

The Habs had a full 2 minute 5-on-3, with a Siegenthaler in the box for it, and a PP1 unit with NHL regulars (Caulfield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky-Matheson).

The board would’ve lost it’s mind if the roles were reversed and our top guys couldn’t do jack squat with 2 minutes of 5-on-3 vs the Laval Rockets.


The one disappointment is that the Utica Comets didn’t get more shots on Hughes, the Habs had more jump at the end.


Well that and Hatakka being an intriguing tease who is incapable of staying healthy.

Nemec shmemec. Where did you have him compared to Hutson?

He's a significantly better defender than Hutson, but I expect Hutson to score more.

Overall I'd take Casey without hesitation.

our season is the opposite of the preseason so this is shaping up nicely

Honestly I wouldn't expect that game to be a win given how 2nd tier-ed that lineup was. It was a shell of a team.

That being said, I would have liked to see some goals just to find out who can rise to the challenge playing in a roster like that.

Your answer is no one. I guess we have to wait for Gritz.

Labanc and Halonen couldn’t convert but both were getting a lot of good looks

Halonen was somewhat unlucky on his stint up here last season. I remmeber him missing a huge goal opportunity right before our playoffs hope were dashed.

Those are the two id expect to be more of a highlight, with Labanc and his experience already.

I watched some of the game. Didn't recognize many jersey numbers. Looks like Utica more than the devils. I was hoping to see Jack with Temo and Mercer.

No Jack, Nico, Bratt, Meier. There is not a chance in hell I am watching tonight.

We lost.

*The Comets lost.

Any official updates on Santeri Hatakka?

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Could care less if they win any preseason games. Win v.s the Rags while remaining healthy would be a huge plus.

The Rangers game will be a full Utica lineup. Not even a mostly one like tonight. So winning that would be pretty funny.

At home or MSG? Gotta dress some of your stars when playing at home or charge your STH and whatever actual "walk up" or day of ticket buyers AHL prices. Of course that isn't going to happen but, it should.
