GDT preseason Hawks at Pens

[pens_CT]

I'm on the Harry Z bandwagon. I hope he makes it. He has above average speed, he's feisty, he's fearless, he's physical, he's what we need on our 4th line. I'd take him over Glass anyday. His pest-like play will at least provide the sandpaper we lost in Cooke.

So long as he doesn't take stupid penalties like the pre-suspension Cooke.

A SOG would be nice.

Johnny a little dab will do ya...........really

[murphydump55]

You're playing a team of ahl players don't care if it's preseason it's a complete joke if they lose this game

It's pre season, I have faith in Bylsma.

It's like Fleury, he'll be fine.......for the regular season, then the playoffs will roll around and we all know what happens to those two then.

[Gaucho]

Aaaaaand another penalty.

No, it's "little dab Oduya"

Aaaaaand another penalty.

This team hasn't got to their game this preseason.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Not to go Disney on y'all, but maybe the problem is simply that the Hawks have more players fighting for jobs in this game.

Whatever.

[Brugrabud]

Fire Blysma?

This team hasn't got to their game this preseason.

So I've been saying forever that Fleury is a headcase and hurts us. Many continued to support him and are now coming around.

I've been saying for the last few years that Bylsma isn't a good coach and that his systems and refusal to adapt also hurt us. Many disagreed and continue to support him. Well maybe this year the Byslma supporters will finally see the light. I hope he learns something from Martin and we're successful, but if it's the same old, same old, he's gonna have to go.

Not saying it won't be fine but this is a pathetic performance a team of stars against ahl players that aren't even trying it's a joke to lose this game

SAVE US MARTIN

I think that is gonna be my motto for this season.

The boys are mailing this one is, so far. Wouldn't mind seeing an inspired third.

[farnham16]

I'm not going to get concerned because its the preseason, but the team has looked incredibly lethargic so far this preseason.

[BuckintheLou]

Anyone else out of market and have this game blacked out?

It's supposed to be on NHLNetwork 215-1 (yes, alternate) on DirectTV, but it is blacked out...

I called DirectTV, and they stated that the "ownership" of the team chose to black out this broadcast because the stadium was not sold out in time...

Wouldn't say 'blacked' out here in STL. Just not available on NHLN. Mo-mo's are showing Broons/Craps.
Might not be a bad thing though the way folks are commenting on here.

I get the feeling in about 5-10 years there will be a book or an interview where it is revealed what exactly is going on with this team in the locker room or behind the scenes. Something is off, very off, and I get the feeling it is similar to the issue in Washington where the room is divided and the coach just isn't addressing it. I could take a stab and guess it is a Letang/Fleury/xxx vs Crosby/xxx/xxx vs. Malkin/Neal. Not as simple as a russian clique in DC.

I don't really care that they are losing. I just hate that the effort is piss poor. They look like they can't even be bothered to be there. That annoys the crap out of me.

I'm not saying it's aliens.

You have guys fighting for jobs vs guys fighting not to get injured. It's not that surprising they're losing.

Precisely.

[nocera]

Nice shift. Malkin and Neal passed to each other so I'm guessing they're on the same team in this locker room civil war that we all know is happening.
