[GT] Flames vs. Squids

I take it nobody's really standing out in a good way?

I would say so, Zary has been noticeable, good zone entries with the puck and looks much quicker.
Not much game flow at all though, d corps having a rough go tonight.

I thought it was just me seeing that, I'm glad someone else saw it as well.

Vali quit on the play after getting beat...in his situation it boggles the mind. If he would have stuck with it he would have easily prevented the goal

Defense can’t handle puck or make a pass which has made it hard on the forwards.

Zary and Milano probably stand out the most in a positive way. Pelletier has struggled a bit with the puck but has looked great on the PK.

Phillips is skating hard but hasn’t really had much time on the puck. You can tell Eakin is a vet, does all the little things right.

Klapka is raw but he has skill, size and can skate…probably not this year but there might be something there.

Dube hasn’t stood out and made a poor play on the SH goal against. Ruzicka looks lazy to me.

Mackey best of what’s been a bad night for the defense. Valimaki needs a sports therapist and to stop overthinking every play.

Overall it looks like a team that has a handful of guys with actual NHL talent playing against a more veteran team.

Zary, Milano, Phillips and Pelletier are the ones skating hardest and putting in the most effort IMO

Well i learned from my last trip there that the homeless are their dominant demographic.

Perfect assessment!

Ruzicka looks like he can't handle a pass.

Vladar
Zary
Milano

Are my 3 stars so far but it's a low bar...I still can't believe Vali played that 2 on 1 so poorly.

That being said goal one shouldn't have counted and goal 2 was easily preventable

[Sandman]

I thought Mackey looked nice and steady in that 2nd period.

Has Boyd signed yet?

I think Dube has stood out!

I can’t believe I paid $200 for the Sportsnet package and am watching another stream. I can’t use the app on my computer (to cast, or hdmi) and there is no app for my flatscreen. Watched the first half of the game on my phone until I got frustrated and just fired up a free stream to see it on the big screen. I think I’ll have to buy an Apple TV to make the limited connectivity work. And the SN app is painful to navigate.
Sorry for the rant.

Kraken advertising coming down to watch their training camp, meanwhile....

[SuperMatt18]

One thing I’ll add tonight is you can see that Phillips is clearly focusing on his defensive game.

Some small mistakes but he’s really trying hard defensively

Who's 79? Had a nice shift

Was kinda hoping Valimaki would take a step forward this off-season. He's not even a tweener anymore.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Schwindt with the crossbar.

PP needs Michael Stone.
