GDT Penguins At Sabres Preseason Game 2 MSG WGR 550

[Randall Flagg]

Nice play from ERod! 

It's nice to see successful cycles. 

[...]

E. Rod is looking good.  

Hutton, I like Hutton.  I feel good about his play.

[Andrew Amerk]

Can we be done with Zemgus now? He’s bringing nothing. Looks lost out there. 

[Randall Flagg]

Risto playing like he hasn't faced top lines for 55 minutes per game for the last 3 months 

Gorgeous little play from Dahlin to get us out of the zone.

[Thorner]

So is Rodrigues the Sheary replacement with Mittelstadt, and Pomiville the Reinhart placeholder?

Skinner - Eichel - Okposo

Rodrigues - Mittelstadt - Reinhart

Nylander - Berglund - Thompson

Wilson/Smith/Girgensons - Sobotka - Pominville/Bailey/Baptiste

...Is that too much youth on line 3?

[Scottysabres]

I LIKE EICH!!!!!!!

[Randall Flagg]

Jacky boy!

[Thorner]

YEICHEL!

Never.

And assuming things don't change, Okie isn't gonna work on line 1/PP1. drop him down a spot in each case. 

[...]

Eichel made it look EASY.

[Cityo'Rasmii]

I like Eich

[Andrew Amerk]

#9!

[...]

I don't know if I like Okposo on the first line. Just sayin'.

[sabills]

Eichel literally didn't take a stride after the blue line on that goal

I've really liked how steady Pilut is. I thought he was going to be a lot more lost. 

[darksabre]

Mitts with another nifty shift

[Thorner]

The vision of Mittelstadt.

His shoulders would be good for a different line, but just like last season, he doesn't continue enough plays - too many are over once they hit his stick. 

He should be in Pommers' spot with Casey once the season starts IMO.

[Andrew Amerk]

Roddy seemed to be watching that play happen, instead of being a part of it.

Is it me, or is Pittsburgh getting their elbows up on the head when they have a Sabre against the boards?

Also, I hate to mention it, but Crosby, Malkin and the Pillsbury Dough Boy aren't out there.

[North Buffalo]

They have tried more passes in this game then all of last year... kidding should say sucessful passes..

I'm just going to enjoy that we're winning a preseason game against an objectively worse lineup ?

[North Buffalo]

Dhalin seems to be a little cautious in this game.. playing smart.  Pilut playing really well kid has some moxie. Borgen is a beast.

It's not just a meme that "of course" we would lose this game - this is the exact type of preseason game we lose literally every year.
