Oh man, If Gillies is any indication of what we can expect out of our goaltenders....3 goals within like 3 mins, all high blocker side. Boston has him pegged.

Gilles isn't a starter, barely a backup

yeah, but he is fighting for the role of backup. I hope we have better prospects than that...

Just finished watching that game. Pretty entertaining and what a show for the Shenzhen fans. Overtime and a shootout. Great showcase of the game. Sure, the play was choppy as hell, but what do you expect for a split-squad preseason game?

Would have been nice for Gilles to show better than that, but I'll reserve judgement on him, since that's an awful situation for a goalie. Bad travel, one practice, bad ice etc.

Not sure if he woukd ha e been third or fourth on the Flames depth chart. Fair to say that performance didn't move him up any, but not sure it moved him down either.

Anyone know what the Chinese TV audience would ha e been? That's the point of all this right? Growing the market for NHL on Chinese TV.

Wonder if the boys left town already. The typhoon is pretty close to HK now.

**ExtraSlow** · 09-15-2018, 12:59 PM

They said the flight was immediately after the game for that reason.

**spikerS** · 09-15-2018, 05:31 PM

/slantyeyedstare no so sure....

LOL, no, it's my buddy. He just moved back there a couple days ago. Had fun teasing him about it on FB.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt a bit what with the travel, one practice, and iirc his first game ever on the big international ice. That said though my complaints about him from years ago remain and that's that he plays so deep and small in his net for such a big guy. Challenge a bit more and those two high blocker shots probably get saved rather easily

Looking forward to the game tonight! Will be in attendance, first hockey game for me since moving to YVR. Hope I don't get beat up with my red jersey.

Thats the plan. My wife will be sporting a Canucks jersey. Should be fun.

**rage2** · 10-03-2018, 01:05 PM

I'm once again worried about goaltending this year. We haven't had a playoffs run caliber goalie in a decade.

**adam c** · 10-03-2018, 01:13 PM

The management is relying too much on our current backup goalie situation, I have no confidence in what we have in the works except maybe Parsons but he's years away

**ExtraSlow** · 10-03-2018, 03:51 PM

The whole goalie situation is what's giving me the most heartburn, until I figure out with five or six forwards are underperforming anyway . . . .
