Preseason GDT 8: Leafs vs Red Wings L4-2

[Madferret]

So, is it time to sum up the preseason?

1.  Special teams: still Wilsonian in their effectiveness.

2.  Leafs forwards: Not fully present except the Mac/Grab/Kuli line.

3.  Reimer not all that stellar; Gus has played as well or better?

Scrivens has been the best goaltender in camp.

Perhaps he will be this year's Reimer......

Remember Ed Belfour that one pre-season?

That's a good reference. Let's cross our fingers......

Comparing Reimer to a HOFer is not a good reference.

It's a good reference when you are attempting to judge the amount of water in your glass.

Who do you compare your goalies to?

How great does that Zibanejad look?  And it's in preseason so you know it's legit.

"This is a tough pill to swallow"

Really Healy?

The Leafs, without Connolly, Grabbo, Macarthur, Schenn, Franson, Gunnarsson, and Lombardi playing his first game in a year on the top line, and AHL players like Zigomanis, Crabb, really must be devastated that they lost tonight.

I'm sure they're shaking in their boots at the thought of having to play a real game on Thurs.

What an idiot.

I am a pretty easy going guy that doesn't take many non-life threatening things very seriously but I am really disliking Healy as well.  It is odd for me because I haven't liked announcers/commentators before but I don't think that I have ever disliked one before.

Swiss Cheese but this year looks like it could be American Cheddar.

"HennyTweets Paul Hendrick
Mike zigomanis wins 19 of 22 draws for an 86 percent success rate tonight."

I know, the Adirondack Wings, but still pretty good.

Brandon Bochenski great.

Malone looks like he'll get 8-10 games. Ouch.

[Deebo]

I am never paying to see a pre-season game again, ever.

That was so boring I left with 10 to go in the 3rd.

Millen or Healy - who is worse?

I say Healy. Healy is arrogant and often uninformed... plus annoying. Millen is just sometimes uninformed plus annoying... I don't pick up much (if any) arrogance from him.

Healy goes out of his way to be anti-Leafs since he wasn't given the GM job.  However Millen insists that he is right about everything, and denies being wrong even in the face of video evidence.  I can't stand either of them and I have no idea why a team like the Leafs can't have remotely better broadcasters.

You left out Bozak, who was the best Leaf in camp until he got hurt. Just an oversight I'm sure.

I'm not worried about Reimer. He just needs a string of games to get into the groove.

Or some decent defense or special teams. He doesn't look like he's changed his game much, just the D needs time to settle down.
