[GDT] Preseason Canucks @ Flames. 7pm MT. SN 360

Prosvetov: 5 goals on 19 shots.
Cooley: 3 goals on 7 shots.


Waiver wire watch.

Vladar wanted to stay. I understand the Flames moving on because they didnt want to give him more than 2 years but at least have a plan. If Wolf goes down this team is in serious serious trouble.

[Goriders]

That was not a thing of beauty.

Scary part was it was our vets looking like garbage.

Hopefully Huberdeau isn’t out too long.

100%. Breakaway generator.

Was behind the other team’s net half the game.

Didn't watch but the one thing Huberdeau was elite at was the PP and I thought it would always translate. Maybe his game has just fallen off a cliff.

Who’s our EBUG? Get him on the horn.

Vladar has played relatively poorly for Philly this preseason, for what it's worth

That’s not what happened. Vladdy left because he wanted to be a starter

[Gaudreau is a Ninja]

Just a pre season loss, I’ve seen worse. Move onto the next one.

Rough game for most of the team. Especially the goalies and defence.

The only forwards I thought looked pretty good at times: Zary, Frost, Backlund and Gridin

Really did not like any of the defence tonight. Very disorganized and out of sync. Hence all the stretch passes that got behind them.

Can definitely see the raw skill of Parekh. Always looking to move the puck up hard and quickly. Players often weren’t prepared to receive the pass - especially with how hard he passes the puck.

Tough to say who is the best defenceman to pair him with. The typical thinking is to use players like Bahl or Pachal. Defensive defencemen to compensate for Parekh being aggressive up the ice. Only problem is that Parekh is often setting up his defence partner to make or continue a scoring play in the offensive zone and the play pretty much dies on those players’ sticks. Saw it a few times tonight where Parekh created some space and moved the puck to Pachal and you could tell Parekh wanted the puck back to move in and open up some scoring/passing lanes but, instead, Pachal just threw the puck towards the net and it was blocked or deflected wide. Possession lost and puck cleared. Ultimately, I think Weegar is the best fit but he likes to pinch and makes dangerous plays in the offensive zone so it could be an adventure with both him and Parekh on the ice.

This isnt true at all...he wanted a shot at being a starter and knew that wouldnt happen with Wolf. His words

Or maybe it was a preseason game

I thought Vladar gave the Flames a chance to match Philly's contract offer before leaving

I spoke to him personally in December. He wanted 3+ years and wanted to stay.

[TheScorpion]

I'd just go with Prosvetov and use him exclusively on back-to-backs. Cooley is firmly below NHL-calibre at this point.

[Badgers Nose]

Are we seriously lamenting the loss of Vladar? Should we have over paid to keep him as a back up to talk him out of his starter dream? Give me a break. We need higher standards folks.

Who are you? He said in an interview "I want to be a starter and I know what Wolf is" in June

Just a guy who ran into him while he was at a christmas party downtown.

[Erick Estrada]

Lots of overreaction to a meaningless preseason game.
