GDT: 11th Anniversary Edition of "2006 Was A Fraud!"

Anyone listening the aftermath just now? Really funny call

 

[The Stranger]

I agree if we're talking about the UFA goalie market. There's usually not much ever which is why we targeted Darling to begin with. But at some point we're going to have to bite the bullet to give up the assets to solve our goalie problem. We can't keep doing the Lack/Darling specials.

Canes have Ned, Booth, Helvig, LaFontaine, and Makiniemi in the pipeline.

Draft, develop, and retain.

Much better than "biting the bullet" and accepting the winner's curse.

"Why are you so negative all the time?"

She should read this board.

I hope we hold on to McKeown. I'm scared of our right side depth if Faulk and/or TVR leave in the future. I hate having d-men play their offside. Unless they prefer it, it's usually always a disaster waiting to happen.

There is Luke Martin, I believe he will be a good R side D for us in a few years, so maybe we can keep Carrick, he is pretty good. Actually I like both of them, it`s a good problem to have IMO

"You should just recognize that girgensons is a good player!"

Attendance 14k tonight. Slowly but surely attracting more and more people to games.

My anecdotal memory says once Christmas hits, they usually have a pretty big boost from gifted tickets. I'm sure someone has access to data that shows I'm wrong.

Unless you have a top #5 goaltending prospect in the world, you can never go wrong acquiring a proven goaltender. Even then, this is arguable depending on the goalie you can acquire.

None of those goalies you listed particularly inspire confidence in the future. Deciding to just roll with one of them can set you back years.

Carrick is a lefty though.

I like Martin too, though. He appears to be another solid pick. I fully expect him to turn pro next year.

Has Faulk just been trollin us for 35 games?

naw...he was like I'm gunna score 2 goals for my boy on his burfday!

More like his shooting percentage is starting to normalize.

I know he has been quite bad defensively at times this year, but offensively he has been insanely unlucky.

 

[DougieSmash]

it's feeling faulking good. merry christmas to everyone.... canes forever!

 

[Stickpucker]

Housley facepalming after the penalty is hilarious

Most likely because he realized our whole team shaved and his didn't leading to this loss.

 

[Stickpucker]

This.

I've been hugely critical of Cam. But watching Darling become a headcase is even more unsettling. I'm being 100% honest here when I say I've never seen a goalie regularly have such bad body language every time they give up a goal. Darling pouts way too much for my liking. I understand his unique story and that it's his first time as a starter in the NHL but grow up dude. I get shelled 10x worse than you 2x a week, and sometimes I have to pay for that honor.

So you frequently give up 16 goals? ...I wouldn't mind playing for the other team?...Otoh...maybe start a pay to score program?

 

[Stickpucker]

We have the same amount of points as Pittsburgh with two less games played

How the **** did that happen

Poor Garnett will prolly lets us know.

 

[Stickpucker]

I think he assumed he’d be retired by now. He inexplicably won 2 cups and felt the need to keep going.

He owes us a nice desperation trade on his way out.

Merry Christmas good chap.

Was at this game. Super fun game.

Although, every time I go into the Eye i'm reminded how horribly it was designed

True dat. When the proposed arena renovations came out line two years ago they included taking out half of the box office to extend the eye.

It's almost impossible to move in there. They need to renovate it whether or not they renovate anything else or not

 

[JCLA]

it was nice of the hockey club to give us hope for christmas even if they dash it in the new year

i'll take hope over deflation any day

God the more I reflect on that call when I heard it the funnier it gets. WHY ARE YOU SO NEGATIVE, GIRGENSONS IS A GOOD PLAYER! yeah... aside from the fact that Skinner had more points last year then he's had the last 2 combined + this year to date.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I didn’t hear the call, but now I wish I had.

Girgensons has a career high of 30 points. Skinner has had more than 30 goals three times. They really aren’t comparable.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Any Metalocalypse fans here?

Every time I hear the name Zemgus Girgensons, I imagine Skwisgaar and Toki saying it over and over back and forth to each other.

"Zemgus Girgensons."

"Zemguses Girgensons!"

"Zemguses Girgensonses!!!"
