[GDT/PGT] Canucks @ Kings - Sep 21st 2019 - 6PM from Salt Lake City Utah

[Trebreh]

we win this one comfortably if we had goaltenders that could stop a beach ball tonight.

 

nevertheless, good showing from AG, Quinn and Leivo.

 

Boeser/Petey looked bored af and looked like they were just going through the motion.

Put Demko in net and this is 5-2 Canucks. Time for some real cuts guys. Let both clubs start forming their lines and building chemistry before the season starts. 

This was game 5 of 8 preseason games.  There will be more cuts, then another game with a line up like tonight followed by more cuts and 2 final games with close to the final line up.  At least that's the way I would do it

Tonight's game ...

 

 

Is this a pic of Justin?

[Junkyard Dog]

Gaudette had a good game offensively, poor game defensively. Seems to like to play the Kings.

The only good thing about the horn going off is that I can finally shut off the two LA idiots calling the game.

 

Look forward to the Monday's game against OTT!

Going to the game. It’s in Abbotsford. Looking forward to an hour shorter drive to watch the game. Should be pretty cool.

Graovac looked decent as well....

I wonder where this leaves Gaudette. You don't want him playing a limited role but he's showing (again) that he can play in this league.

 

I imagine he gets sent down still, but I wonder how good his case will be if he continues to produce. 

If he does get sent down it won't be too long before he gets the call up. 

[JeremyCuddles]

Leivo had a nice snipe. Really all I can say about the game. Although if we're being honest I was not paying attention.

So good gotta see it again and again 

 

At one point I think all 5 Kings were staring at and most chasing him. That kinda chaos is money.

Jake played the last 60 seconds with Gaudette and I noticed him.

He played the entire game with Sutter and they were all invisible. 

It is because Sutter is a foundational player.

I guess they have to score 2 goals a game for people to notice them......

[appleboy]

It will be interesting to see who stays. Will there be any trades?

How will they assemble the lines.

Should be a fun year

You got me but I think we need another offensive minded forward rather than having two shutdown lines.

Agree completely.  The Canucks have too much talent now not to do this.  However, this doesn't mean that they don't go with Pettersson-Horvat-Sutter-Beagle down the middle.

 

Incidentally, I think that playing Horvat and Pettersson in the same game will make both better.

What a play by Quinn. Kids got skills. 

[ForestFalcon]

Well, that's probably a good game for the helping the team make decisions on who stays up. At least we got to see a whole bunch of offense, kept things interesting. Makes me happy we have Markstrom and Demko for our NHL goaltending duo.

 

Also, wtf was the commentator going on about after Gaudette's first goal, saying he's from a "sketchy university". That's definitely what he said, I went back a couple times to make sure that was legit. Was a weird thing to hear, that's for sure.

[Ossi Vaananen]

Gaudette making it hard to cut him. Tossing out the idea, I think we'd have to cut like 4 waiver eligible guys to keep him around.

 

Baertschi - Horvat - Miller

Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser

Pearson - Sutter - Gaudette

Motte - Beagle - Virtanen

 

2 of:

(Schaller, Goldobin, Leivo, Eriksson)

 

Maybe get some value in a trade for someone.

I assumed Utahs University doesn't like Gauds Alma Mater.

47 pages and counting for a Preseason GDT! Gotta love the passion here! 
 

Can’t wait for the regular season to start with our regular lineup!

Gaudette will be the last player cut.  His last 2 games have been good

[appleboy]

I have said it before.

Sutter is not a center. He is a winger who can take face offs . He dosen't create offense.

Jake is a one dimensional winger with speed and a good shot. He needs to have a real center.
