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

[McTonyBrar]

Stecher and Dermott have been awful.

Brown belongs in the legendary group of pukeworthy and terrible

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

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

The 2 most recent goals against he failed to stop a cross crease pass taking neither puck nor man and the other goal a loose puck was there for the taking in a danger area and he was slow reacting allowing for an easy puck retrieval directly into a high quality scoring chance.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

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

Wanner and Kemp? Hell no, not yet for Wanner anyway.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

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?

Yeah new system new coach etc

 

[CycloneSweep]

Who is Brown's partner tonight?

Dermott, who looks better

Wanner and Kemp? Hell no, not yet for Wanner anyway.

I know. And yet, I still think they are better lol

To be fair he isn’t some unknown player, this is who he has been for almost 300 games.

Hopefully he cleans some of that up after getting going. Not the first time that a vet struggles in preseason.

 

[foshizzle]

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

The three years still makes no sense, Bryan. Usually those guys get 1. 3 years is for those you need to add years to make sure he signs with your club.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Dermott, who looks better


I know. And yet, I still think they are better lol

Impressive how you've been able to focus on both games at the same time. Do you have a split screen feed?

 

[JeffSkinner53]

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

Huberdeau 3 assists tonight lmao

 

[foshizzle]

Yeah new system new coach etc

New coach isn’t impacting his skating or puck skills.

 

[Dakinjor]

So does anyone want to explain the Eurobeats during the home game intermission?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

It does if you want them to clear. 1 year and someone might claim him. 2 years a little less of a chance. 3 years very unlikely.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

How is Dermott looking? Hoffman too?

 

[Sra1974]

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

Oh ok then, thank you very much.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I have both games going yes. I’ll also rewind one of I missed something

 

[K1984]

Only guy that should be upset with Brown getting 3 years is Katz. For everyone else it couldn’t possibly be less relevant.

I’m digging this “season fever” song

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I realize it’s preseason, and I realize it’s early preseason at that, but if I’m the scout that advocated for Josh Brown I’m currently packing my shit.

Dude is about as mobile as a tank with no tracks. He makes Desharnais look positively light on his feet and graceful.

 

[foshizzle]

It does if you want them to clear. 1 year and someone might claim him. 2 years a little less of a chance. 3 years very unlikely.

That makes it even a dumber signing. “Let’s sign him to three years because no one will be dumb enough to claim him is a bad way to do business”.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

German music night tonight.

 

[McSomnii]

So to no one's surprise, you can't expect fringe defensemen to take a regular role in today's NHL.

I still chuckle when I recall Bob Stauffer trying to hype up the Josh Brown signing, as if it was ever remotely noteworthy. He should be a fine fit as a veteran defenseman in Bakersfield.

 

[foshizzle]

Oh ok then, thank you very much.

Maybe you’re right and he’ll turn into Ekholm by game 4 of the preseason despite what history has told us

 

[Sra1974]

Maybe you’re right and he’ll turn into Ekholm by game 4 of the preseason despite what history has told us

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m suggesting.

Stauffer loves his coke machines though
