GDT: Sens @ Leafs - 7pm SBA

[DarkKnight]

Point shots on a PP, who knew.

 

[supermann_98]

The fact Klingberg gets a low hard one-timer clapper on net makes me like him on the PP already. Love Reilly but his lack of a reliable point shot never made me love him on the top PP

 

[GrizzLeaf]

He brought out the puck and made a zone entry... and now he just got an assist on a great point shot.

When I posted that it was right after the pk. He fired it into the zone and it rang all the way around and back into tje Leafs zone. Zero iq play

 

[Aashir]

McCabe instead of klingberg huh

 

[ToDavid]

I know first pre-season game blah blah blah but what exactly does Klingberg bring to the table?

He would have been a good bet on a cheap deal if he was unsigned late in the summer. Don't understand how he was a $4m+ guy on July 1.

Yeah... that's overanalyzing a fairly innocent play to get a puck deep.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Cowan is so good at hockey.

Puck moving ability, skating and a great shot.

 

[Aashir]

I didn’t like that 2 minute shift

I liked that move by bertuzzi

The shot threat from the point is an important factor regardless of what people used to argue before about "distributing." You can still distribute the puck with a guy who can shoot from the point, but now defenses can't just collapse on Matthews and Marner and close the passing lanes so easily.

 

[Stephen]

Imagine Bertuzzi bumping Bobrovsky a few times in that Florida series.

 

[MSZ]

F**k. Even if it's preseason it still stinks.

 

[Aashir]

Giordano played that so awfully

 

[PromisedLand]

LMAO good stuff there Gio

 

[ToDavid]

Doesn't look particularly fleet of foot out there. I'll give you that the other two are situational and hard to evaluate in one game.

I see a guy who looks far less dynamic than Rielly.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Gio is beyond cooked

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Gio is cooked boys, Bundy better be on the horn

 

[notbias]

Was offside, but oh well. Sens' player didn't have control.

 

[fahad203]

Gio was bad there but that rebound tho

 

[LastOne2100]

Was offside, but oh well. Sens' player didn't have control.

I thought so too, but it seemed to actually be onside on the replay.

We look disinterested, and I'm sure we are.

 

[PromisedLand]

aight I've had my fill of pre-season already LOL

let the regular season begin already

 

[m1ker]

dejavu on that OT winner

 

[Leafidelity]

Chychryn pointing at the crowd with the goal in game 2 of the preseason is the most Ottawa Senators thing Ive seen in a while, lol

 

[LeafalCrusader]

6 more to go

We really must be watching a completely different player if you don't think his skating is smooth and agile. He isn't Cale Makar here but it's definitely above average. Made a few nice plays at both ends of the ice due to his skating.

People already hate Klingberg to the point where they've made up their made for some reason. It won't matter. Nothing about his game tonight suggests he was an issue... but people just want him to be one.
