GDT: PRESEASON - Game 6 - DEVILS @ Flyers - 7PM EST

[Zippy316]

Just to have 4 even pairings I think. He won't be here when the final cuts happen.

It's Helgeson not Gragnani.

Regardless, don't like Helgeson either.

 

[Bleedred]

Good to see the penalties still continuing.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

The biggest concern going into the season is definitely the lack of discipline.

 

[Zippy316]

How is that not embellishment.

 

[liquid1988]

wow this is turning into a terrible ending to this period...way too many penalties

 

[Bleedred]

There's the obligatory Matteau penalty that we seem to be getting at least once a game.

I was just getting ready to say we haven't even seen that yet.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Matts got his stick in there, but that was embellishment too.

 

[vtdevils2k]

love seeing Larrson joining the rush...playing with so much confidence now

 

[Emperoreddy]

Lots of young guys, will take some time, but Hynes seems like a no ******** kind of guy.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Apparently when you feel a stick touch your skates you need to just go down now.

I agree. It's a young team with a new system. There will be growing pains and mistakes. We just have to hope they don't find themselves down early in games.

To be honest, I don't want him making the team. Way too ill-discipline.

 

[John Pedro]

What's the point on keeping Zacha to play 4th minutes and no PP time even on the preseason?

Flyers way too physical and our team is soft as butter.

I understand that being a trip, but Medvedev seriously embellished that. I don't say that often either.

But I hate these penalties. I guess maybe they're going to start by calling penalties hard but it seems any physical contact is a penalty now. I still don't understand how what Helgeson did on his penalty was interference. He bodied out the guy from getting the puck and then when he got the puck, he knocked him down. Maybe he tripped him, but he didn't interfere.

So he can practice with the team and get some pro experience before he goes back to juniors.

It should of been a 4 on 4. Matts tapped his skates and he went down. Is it technically a trip? Yes, but he also sold the hell out of it.

 

[DirtyJerzey]

i didnt know this turned into a soccer game

 

[John Pedro]

I don't think so. Almost every team already sent their kids back to juniors. Keeping Zacha to play 4th line and no PP is just bad. He won't learn anything with that cause he's supposed to be an offensive force, not a grinder.

 

[mtnet]

the embellishment really is silly early on

and medvedev looked like he felt a breeze graze his skates then crossed his own legs up for the dive

You do realize more goes on then just preseason games right? They practice, run drills, do skills practice etc...

 

[Emperoreddy]

Flyers take the dumb one.

 

[liquid1988]

RICO!!!!! First Preseason goal I think!

 

[Bleedred]

Power play goal for the Islanders!

 

[Emperoreddy]

Excellent PP. Rico!!

Palmieri on point > Zajac on point
