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.

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?

 

[RECKLESS]

Watched the first two periods.
My god that Victory+ feed with the graphic black tail on the puck, the moving square on the PK unit and the floating players names so you can't even see some plays lol!

Scrambly game as expected. Justus made some great saves and looked solid. I think he moves better laterally, got to a puck with his right skate to deny a surefire empty net chance right on the goalline which was awesome.
