GDT: Preseason Game #4 | 10/01/24 | 7:30 PM MST | VGK @ COL

[Bill Peckerskull]

Mack scores on George!

 

[sethro109]

What could we realistically give for Swayman?

George+ Ritchie+ picks. Then we'd have to move someone else to make the numbers work.

 

[Go19]

What does the score have to do with anything in the Makar getting shifts right now?

Preseason is about getting reps in and getting minutes under you to prepare for the season.

Because this is "need to make the squad" time for some idiot on VGK - and I don't think we need to see something stupid happen at the hands of some AHL scrub.

 

[Avs9296]

I wanna see Georgie wack Mack with his stick. Just for the giggles afterwards.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Would love Swayman, honestly, anything resembling a franchise goalie would be a godsend

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I'm worried that Innala is going to get praised by Bednar, reassigned to the AHL and never heard from again, similar to Jedlicka.

 

[wayninja]

It's good to feel the old georgie revulsion in my veins again after a sleepy summer

6giev?

That can happen at anytime in the pre season. If you think like that you may as well not play any of the top guys until Game 1 of the season.

They still need minutes to shake off the rust.

 

[drhiii]

Hm.

 

[wayninja]

Avs should all just start shooting at georgie. Really break the guy before the season

 

[JLo217]

George sucks. I know it’s preseason but I’m legitimately concerned about the first 20-30 games.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

MacK putting his goalies on notice, he will not be denied in a single game this season.

 

[sethro109]

6giev?

He's just trying to copy FatMan from Sunday.

 

[Balthazar]

George sucks. I know it’s preseason but I’m legitimately concerned about the first 20-30 games.

Why only the first 20-30?

 

[the_fan]

I'd settle for Mitts, Colton, O'Connor, Ritchie, Toews, Girard, Manson and a change in net.

What we are watching tonight is not a professional league roster. This severely limits the fun of watching to me as a fan. I'm basically just trying to spot and watch single players for complete shifts. Gotta be careful who I pick though because it has been depressing a time or two.

I’m just looking at the big picture. We might be fine in the regular season, but without Val and Landy we’re not going far in the playoffs like the last 2 years. We really need those two back

 

[chet1926]

What a f***ing joke, like I get preseason, but this was f***ing pathetic.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Would be totally down for tanking if this was 2026 with McKenna available, but this isn’t the year to tank boys

 

[Arch angel]

Honestly -

MacK putting his goalies on notice, he will not be denied in a single game this season.

and another one at home. Good for him.

 

[The Merchant]

I really hope Mikko is just not giving a shit, because his game looks worrisome.

Mikko and laziness have gone together like PB&J for a few season now...

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Kovalenko was good... Thats basically it. Defense is a disaster outside of makar. Steinberg might carve out a 4th line role if he peaks physically.

 

[Balthazar]

Outshot 38-25 against Vegas' C team

 

[sethro109]

The lack of effort and grit from our tweeners that are supposed to be desperately trying to make the team is kinda concerning.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I’m just looking at the big picture. We might be fine in the regular season, but without Val and Landy we’re not going far in the playoffs like the last 2 years. We really need those two back

At this point, I'd be betting huge we know how Landy is doing by the Christmas trade freeze and will definitely be prepared for the trade-deadline as a result. However, with Nuke we have option other than to hope he's serious and getting clean or hope he gets caught as quickly as possible so we have his space available to use at the deadline or sooner if something can shake loose.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I’m ready for the regular season to start so I can be disappointed for real
