GDT: Preseason Games 2 & 3, Oilers Flames in a Double header beer leaguer

[CycloneSweep]

JOSH BROWN, PACK YOUR SHIT TO BAKERSFIELD

He already has his name in stone for the roster.

 

[oilers4life5]

Holy shit is Brown ever bad. He is absolute trash. That signing is mind-boggling

Agreed. He sucks.

What's going on with him? Bad passes or bad D?

I was told he was only bad cause he played for a bad team…

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Woof … 5-1 in Calgary.

Please no injuries

 

[Garbo Man]

Is it like...German night at Rogers tonight or

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Lavoie and Podkolzin look like NHLers, so does Philp but he needs to be better on draws than he has been tonight.

 

[ZJuice]

Barrie just boxed out the great Savoie during clutch time ! What’s going on here

 

[CycloneSweep]

What's going on with him? Bad passes or bad D?

He coughs up the puck a lot. Isn’t a great skater, isn’t even a decent passer and has pretty low defensive iq. He is big though!

It's so bad I'm going to watch Stephen Colbert

Part of Leon's new contract states that this is the new song to be played in intermissions.

 

[foshizzle]

What's going on with him? Bad passes or bad D?

Both. He can’t skate well, can’t move the puck well, and his pivots to turn to retrieve the puck are about the same radius as a WestJet plane. That last goal, Brown couldn’t even make a simple ring around.

That helps in the playoffs.

And yet we signed him for 3 years and his spot in the top 6 is locked in stone.

That helps in the playoffs.

Not if you can’t do anything else.

REally does not matter if waived no penalty to cap

 

[sepHF]

I really like Podkolzin so far

 

[Oilhawks]

Flames win the first round of the only Cup they’ll be close to sniffing anytime soon, the Preseason Toilet Bowl

Many new inbreds wi be conceived in Calgary tonight

 

[Bryanbryoil]

And yet we signed him for 3 years and his spot in the top 6 is locked in stone.


Not if you can’t do anything else.

Until/unless we get an upgrade via trade. Funny how everything has been quiet on the Schultz and Shattenkirk fronts

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Oh no they're losing a pre-season game. Just no injuries, please.

 

[Sra1974]

Agreed. He sucks.

I’m so glad we can make a decision on a guy after a few minutes of preseason. I’m not saying he isn’t bad but perhaps we could slow the roll just a little bit? Or is it necessary for us to have this decision made tonight?

 

[foshizzle]

I know, but why the three year contract. Makes zero sense

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Who is Brown's partner tonight?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Until/unless we get an upgrade via trade. Funny how everything has been quiet on the Schultz and Shattenkirk fronts

Imho all of Stetcher, Wanner and Kemp would be better options

 

[Bryanbryoil]

It does if you want him to at minimum be on the farm team for depth and toughness.

The decision was made on his many years in the NHL and he is showing what we all knew. He isn’t going to turn it around, this is who he has been his whole career
