GDT: Preseason games 2024-25

[Lt Dan]

There is no Brad Doty

How dare you

 

[kingsboy11]

3 goals by that line tonight, 2 goals for Laffy. Good sign for them

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Ducks look really bad

 

[ru4reals]

Hoping for a huge year by Laf.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Man I kind of want to go into the booth for one of those bl**j**s

 

[Lt Dan]

Jacob. There is no Brad Doty

Brad Doty is a playoff legend

 

[kingsboy11]

kind of feeling like we've taken our foot off the gas

 

[AbsentMojo]

Brad Doty is a playoff legend

legend

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Clarke doesn’t need to play more than 18 min this year

 

[Lt Dan]

They are trying to hard to get Laff the hatty

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Laff shooting at empty nets like Modry

 

[Telos]

Not a while lot to reach into a little bit a preseason play, but it is nice to see some lines clicking and building some chemistry.

 

[bland]

With Kaliyev out, I wonder if Helenius might edge out Fagemo as the 13th forward.

With Doughty out, I wonder if they still lean towards 8 defensemen with Jones getting the nod.

Fagemo isn’t an NHL caliber 13th forward. Dude screams AAAA talent.

Doesn’t do anything exceedingly well to garner top-6 deployment, and certainly doesn’t have the sand to be a bottom 6 contributor either.

I’m not the biggest fan of Helenius, but at least he is big I guess.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Edmundson had a number of really bad, unforced turnovers in his own zone.

Caleb Jones I thought had a good game. Had the wheels buzzing. This guy hasn't show it yet but he does play a chippy game – at least he did when he was in Chicago.

It's only been 2 pre-season games but Fagemo's one timer is already the most predictable thing on the ice. NHL goalies are clearly not fooled when it comes.

Good first 2 periods for LA but the they really let their foots off the gas in the 3rd.

Can't be....Fagemo predictable? f***....I mean we heard all summer that he was the one, if it wasn't Kaliyev (who is just as predictable) it would be Fagemo, and I mean the guy did score 48 goals in the AHL.....that is translatable to the NHL....the whole board here said so.

 

[Surf Nutz]

Seems like they told Fagemo to just get it on the net as quick as possible and they anticipated the rebounds that were there,

He had some other chances too.

Something to build on.

Jones does a lot more than Moverare.

Maybe Laff will work out but its about consistency and the regular season

 

[Johnny Utah]

Englund played better than Edmundson. Kings could have just used that 2.85 million difference elsehwere.

Laffy was impressive. Same with Caleb Jones.

 

[lumbergh]

Fagemo Samuel (FA-geh-moh, SAM-yew-ehl) from NHL pronunciation guide- thats one reason I wont mind if he waived. His name is annoying.. no announcer gets it right

It’s actually Fa-geh-moo, so none of us get it right. Hear his fellow Swedes chant his name about 40 seconds in:

 

[johnjm22]

You can't judge a veteran's pre season play. They're not playing for anything. It's a warm up.

But if you've just signed a new contract with a new team you probably don't want to look like complete shit.

The narrative on Joel all season is going to be "we got him for the playoffs." Hmmm. Where have I heard that before?

haha - i actually remember that now. Well when guys come over sometimes they anglicize their names a bit.. but maybe the NHL just got it wrong https://media.nhl.com/site/asset/public/ext/2023-24/2023-24PronunciationGuide.pdf
