GDT: Stars @ Avs, 2024-25 Preseason game 1, 7:00pm MT

[hockeyfish]

You mean Phillips took one or you mean it’s the 54th penalty in the game? Because there have been tons of penalties in that game

I guess it's possible it was Phillips. Literally no way to ever know.

Some ESPN exec strolling into the truck after a long day negotiating a new contract with the NHL and seeing the snail trail.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

The radio feed crapped out, too. Getting nothing but music now

 

[Bender]

I was listening to the radio broadcast and they just played a complete rock song during the penalty - lol

This is the new normal - nobody cares about garbage production

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Well, just came back on, but sounds like listeneing to your friend when talking between two tin cans connected by a string.

Stars starting the season as they ended. Going to OT

 

[hockeyfish]

Ritchie nearly got one.

 

[the_fan]

Ritchie got the goal instead of Megna?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Goal as time expired?

 

[SB]

Ritchie got the goal instead of Megna?

I think that was another screw-up; pretty sure he had the primary assist.

 

[hockeyfish]

LOL, Stars win.

 

[the_fan]

Yeah Megna clearly scored that goal

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Stars score with :00.02 left

 

[RoyIsALegend]

We lost with a second left on the clock?

Fkn hilarious

 

[hockeyfish]

Thank god, saved us from OT.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

We lost with a second left on the clock?

Fkn hilarious

Not a second, but 2 tenths of a second left

 

[the_fan]

Losing with 2 seconds left is such an Avs thing to do

 

[hockeyfish]

I've seen a lot of hockey games, and that was certainly one of them.

 

[Foppa2118]

Not a second, but 2 tenths of a second left

Oh now they care about the time.

 

[wayninja]

Well, that was a lot of fun

 

[S E P H]

12 minors and counting so far.

Sounds like a Diddy party.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Brutal game to watch.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Well, since I was forced to watch that game, here goes…

- Foudy…what a disappointing performance. Looked soft and uninterested all night long.
- Olausson had real flashes but for a guy who has a great shot, can’t hit the damn net.
- Kovy looked like he was focusing on playing smart defense given the line they put him on. Real chance that could be a 4th line. He drew a penalty and thought they called it on him so Tynan had to come rescue him. Think he got one shift in the final 10 minutes because of penalty fest.
- Ritchie didn’t do much at ES through two but definitely perked up in the 3rd. He was a real weapon on the PP too.
- Liked Behrens
- Brannstrom was all over the place, not in a good way
- my god Middleton sucks
- AHL guys were very good but simply not going to get fooled by them. Can’t imagine a universe where Bednar plays 4’2” Matthew Phillips

How was Ritchie in terms of keeping up with the play? Did he get matched up against Johnston much?
