GDT: Preseason Game 7, Oilers at Kraken beer leager. Oilers + 8 PM

[Vagabond]

Damn... and I thought Rodrigue had potential. He's had a bad camp and a terrible preseason.

 

[onetweasy]

Lol he's going to be the start or splitting games in the AHL let's not hyperbole. He's just not ready for NHL shooters.

Okay…..I won’t use hyperbole…..the guy is a career AHL’er.

 

[22 The Maestro]

Seattle board a little boring? Talking with the other 3 fans must get boring.

It is boring over there. Just here to enjoy a pre-season game. Don't take it too seriously.

I thought he's been pretty good most of the camp and preseason.

He's been garbage tonight though.

Happens.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Rodrigue is not ready.


Josh Brown SUCKS

 

[McFlyingV]

Anyone still worried about Rodrigue clearing waivers?

Oil have a solid period with strong territorial play. Poor goaltending. Aided by Kulak chasing out of position followed by a weak Brown effort with a puck that should be stopped.

Really like Dermott's game tonight. Puck transportation, jumping into o-zone soft ice. Arvy with a real solid game.

Very quiet night for Hyman and Skinner.

I think Skinner's had his best game of the preseason. Couple nice cycle plays with puck protection, nice passing play with Arvidsson to Drai on the Dermott goal. He's starting to learn how to play off Drai and Arvidsson.

Okay…..I won’t use hyperbole…..the guy is a career AHL’er.

Very possible. Career AHLer isn't far off from a career NHL backup.

Josh Brown is worse than valley Connor Brown was last year

Just means we have to wait until round 3 or 4 of the playoffs for Josh to break out. Patience.

Can't wait. It's gonna rock

Listening to the Seattle intermission crew they are showing on the NHL Network is interesting. The analysis is as shallow as a kiddie pool.

Yeah, they are not great.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Couple years back I thought Rodrigue would be a legitimate NHL goalie. Too bad

Big jump from AHL shooters to NHL. I think watching Dustin Wolf go through that transition as a slight goalie is a reference point. Rodrigue reminds me a bit of Olivier Roy who was a good junior goalie with slight frame who became exposed high against pro shooters. Not saying Rodrigue is a wash out but it's still a ways away to becoming an NHL level back-up.

Rodrigue is not ready.

Why you heff to hAtE bRoWn?

I've posted before that I'm not worried about Skinner. His game is finding soft ice and getting kill shots away. I'm looking for some shot attempts tonight.

 

[oobga]

If Josh Brown is here to distract everyone away from Nurse, then I totally understand the signing.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Yeah, they are not great.

Man it's gotta be interesting to root for a brand new team. No history. No legacy. It all starts here and now.

What's that like? It's gotta be cool.










Wait, was that hard dump and chase by Skinner a set play?

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Can't stand that stupid fanatics logo on the back of the jersey. Really distracting.

I've been a fan of another team for 30 years. And a huge Mario L. fan before that as a kid. It's exciting to see a team build from brand new and see what they can do over the next 10 years. Come in with no expectations and see what they can do.

Edit: fun to root for a bunch of mid-level players to see what they can accomplish.

Makes sense! Reminds me of friends I have in Winnipeg that went from being Jets fans to Oilers/Leafs/Flames/Habs fans before going back to being Jets fans.

I hope the Kraken become better than the Canucks so Canucks fans will finally shut up

On this, we can all agree. Cheers!

Did you mind it when it said CCM? KOHO? Reebok? Or Addias?

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Man Derek Ryan looks f***ing cooked so far.

 

[Cloned]

Brown makes at least one mistake per shift.

 

[Sanchez]

Might be 2 penalties but for sure the high stick was called

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I hope the Kraken become better than the Canucks so Canucks fans will finally shut up

I hope the Kraken, Sharks, Ducks, Flames, Knights and the Kings become better than the Canucks so Canucks fans will finally disappear.
