GDT: Canes vs Pens - back to the well once again

[HisIceness]

Good they didn't let the momentum swing get them down. Regulation win against division foe is always a good thing.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Keep 7 and 77 separated and we may never lose again.

Did Jarvis just find a group of college girls to throw the puck to? Good boy.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Who the stars are don’t matter but Raanta was the first star by far

 

[MisterDobz]

I dunno, our line clicked….

maybe because Rod took TiVo off the 4th line and put him where he belongs…

Well did TDA and Orlov play in the third prior to when we saw them split up? They each had a shift about halfway through the period. I didn’t remember seeing them before then. Rod may have just rolled the top four, then gave some guys breathers for a second working those two in and that was it until the game was decided.

Smart man.

 

[cptjeff]

Smart man.

He'd be smarter if he wrote his phone number on the puck first.

 

[Borsig]

I saw skjei with tda and orlov. Not sure what the pairs were supposed to be

I saw Orlov with Slavin once and I tgiought I saw Tony-Skjei before the Svech no goal.

Once they got that extra timeout I think he was done with the both of them.

I get that Skjei's in a groove, but it shouldn't be hard to make a "3rd pair" of Skjei-TDA and just have Skjei play 3-4D minutes overall. If Orlov wants to play a more offensive game, have him with Pesce so there's fewer high-danger chances.

It's the big conundrum with this team. Our PP looks so much better with TDA, but... how do you incorporate him at 5-on-5?

Yeah, you can run Skjei-TDA and Orlov-Pesce as your standard pair but give Skjei-Pesce some extra shifts together.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I guess there really can be an adjustment period with this system. First Hamilton. Now Orlov. He’s better than the player he’s been. Just have to give it time.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Orlov-Pesce looked great the few shifts I saw from them

Caleb Jones said as much in that interview with the Avs people. It certainly seems to be the case.

 

[Joe McGrath]

The idea that Slavin wasn’t one of the 3 stars of this game is just pure insanity to me.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Jarvis has 7 goals so far. He had a total of 14 last year.

It's always interesting to see takes from the other board.

 

[Daeavorn]

So Svech mad he got a goal disallowed huh? Sure does suck for whoever we play next that he may have scored two hat tricks against last year.

Jarvis/KK/Svech/Necas all being in the same cohort is the main factor behind why our window of opportunity is so long. If Nikishin pans out into a top-4 piece, that'll be yet another cherry on top of the sundae.

It's okay, I hear their goaltending and defense are much improved okay I can't type that with a straight face.

I’m watching the highlights on NHL Network. The 2nd Pens goal - I’m 99.9% certain that it wasn’t just offside, it wasn’t even close.

Unless it’s late and I’m just way way off.

Wow. You’re 100% right.

Bit of a rough and ready screenshot from the NHL app goal replay, but 58 has not tagged up yet in this screenshot and you can see the puck is WAY over.

Assuming I’m not going crazy either, bit of a shocking miss from Huffine and co. Not knowing the way the game ended up shaking out, that was a potentially massive, momentum swinging goal.

EDIT: the only thing this doesn’t show is Karlsson actually touching the puck - when watching the fast motion replay he does kind of push it ahead of himself which maybe gives 58 the time to tag up. Without a better highlight watching tool though I’m at a loss lol.

If you recall, there was time after that goal that RBA and the coaches were reviewing the play by the bench and decided against challenging it.

I believe Letang did tag up before Karlsson touched the puck, but even if he didn't, getting a wrong challenge there and possibly having them score on the ensuing PP? That would have been killer.

You keep him away from orlov.

Dont laugh at cbj. That's exactly the kind of team we lose to. I have tix to the tbl game so that's an autoloss.
