GDT: YST G1 | Oilers vs. Canucks | 8:30PM | Streamed

[McMozesmadness]

My thoughts:

Extremely Impressive
- Braden Christopher

Very Impressive
- Joey LaLeggia
- Eetu Lurikainen
- Leon Draisaitl
- The stream quality (serious props on this one)

Impressive
- Mitch Moroz
- Darnell Nurse (2nd Half)
- Ben Betker
- Kyle Platzer

Average
- Everyone Else

Brutal
- The play-by-play team... LOL. I love Gene but he's an idiot.

 

[McDynasty]

Keep in mind, he's trying to get a spot on the canucks. Running his mouth, running people, and not backing it up is just what he's got to do to make the NHL team.

I'm pretty sure he made a impression on Linden, I could see him in the NHL next year, maybe not full time but they may give him some games.

 

[nabob]

Snowman!!

Now to crush Calgary tomorrow

 

[McPuritania]

Nice to see us ream the Nucks.

Good stuff.

 

[Giggleplex]

I'd 8-2 be a nucks fan right now.

 

[Nugey McNugeson]

I'd 8-2 be a nucks fan right now.

Go away Gene!

 

[RipsADrive]

The current Canucks aren't exactly a team on the up and up.

Are these guys their hope for the future?

 

[Supermassive]

Best meaningless rookie romp ever.
Lots of good impressions made by bubble guys.
LaLeggia looks like a real prospect, I dub him FutureSchultz.

FutureSchultz is insulting.

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

Boy that was a bullet from Platzer to close it out.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

My highlight was when draii got the puck and when he saw shinkaruk was going to check him he opted to just fight him off with one hand and skate the puck out instead of clearing it.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Boy that was a bullet from Platzer to close it out.

As I said, he's scoring 20 in the AHL this season.

He. Scores. Every. Game.

 

[McAsuno]

I want to see Draisaitl, Slepyshev, or Platzer on a line with McDavid. Get Moroz and Chase to a different line.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Don't mind Moroz on McDavid's line. He grinds and hits things, which is necessary because people are taking runs at McDavid, but he's got Belanger hands, my god.

Slepyshev was not average.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I guess it could be a compliment to schultz but why would someone do that?

He has hands of Horcoff 2007-2013

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Slepyshev was not average.

He scored goal and hit the bodies.

Think Platzer could be our Marty Reasoner in a couple of seasons.

 

[Up the Irons]

I can't believe how wide Drai is. One shot of the bench, he took the space of two guys!

 

[KlefDown]

I definitely think McDavid will need protecting in his first season or so in the NHL.
the 'goons' won't be the only ones taking a run at him, it'll be the stars too.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

I think that's who Moroz reminds me of.

An extremely less talented Horcoff who thinks he can fight.

Yeah.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

I can't believe how wide Drai is. One shot of the bench, he took the space of two guys!

Drai looked so great tonight. I was very impressed.

"Get out of my way." - LD all night.

It doesn't translate as well in the NHL, but it was nice to see tonight.

 

[McAsuno]

He scored goal and hit the bodies.

I was chuckling when he just stood still and had his stick lifted waiting for a pass in the 3rd period.

I think he will be fine. Kid can take a hit. Can't protect him his whole career.
