GDT: Game 28: Avalanche at Panthros - Thundercats are Loose!

[Foppa2118]

Barrie tries to do the Girard spinorama on the breakout, gets knocked off balance, and takes a 4 minute high sticking call.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I miss Mcginn

 

[UncleRisto]

Haha, yeah Nikita!

 

[Avsavsavsavsavs]

Varly looks pretty sharp these last few games.

 

[Alexmandu]

Shouldn’t that be slashing on McGinn?
If that was someone else certainly they would call slashing on the hands

 

[agentblack]

Ok that Bourque bit was funny

 

[Foppa2118]

Don't tell anyone else that. You're only supposed to use 17 games worth of save % to judge that.

 

[The Kingslayer]

terrific kill by Z , Landy and Compher there

 

[Freudian]

Denis Potvin's semi-drunk musings are a bit entertaining.

It apparently can't be a trip if the puck is there.

 

[dahrougem2]

Hope Mikko isn't hurt

 

[The Kingslayer]

Barrie can skate he just proved it right there. Why doesnt he skate like that more often.

 

[dahrougem2]

Oh man if Landeskog had his head up there instead of trying to stuff that puck on the backhand he had Jost wideeeee open in the slot

 

[Vaslof]

Still playing well. Nice PK.

We REALLY need to find a way to get that 2nd line working. Too much pressure on 1st line to score all the goals.

 

[Foppa2118]

Because he was already moving at full speed, and all his passing options were skating the other way, so he didn't overthink anything like he usually does.

He just skated with the puck and almost set up a great scoring chance for himself.

The Comeau - Soda - Nieto also need to contribute for some offense as well. I'd like to try Ghetto on that line instead of Nieto.

I'd like to try Ghetto in the stands for a game or two. If Bednar is scratching Yak for multiple games, he needs to keep it fair and do the same with Ghetto who's been just as bad for just as long.

I like Terri, but every time he has the puck he panics and gives it away. I don't think Ghetto has been as bad. Yak really needs someone like Duchene to feed him passes in optimal shooting areas.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Makes sense. Reimer was going one way and puck went the other.

 

[Foppa2118]

Ghetto's been a turnover machine for a while now. He constantly kills plays with bad puck management habits, and the occasional lack of effort.

I agree Yak misses Duchene on his line. Unfortunately, it seems as though he hung his head after he was traded, instead of trying to work hard with his new line mates.

He's got the same amount of on ice lapses in effort as Ghetto IMO. That's why if Bednar is being fair in his approach with players, he needs to scratch one if he's gonna scratch the other.

 

[The Kingslayer]

rantanan had a wide open net if he would have focused there. When Girard is on the ice just be ready for a pass.

 

[The Kingslayer]

5 odd man rushes in 2 minutes

 

[Foppa2118]

How many odd man rushes have they given up? It think that might be 6-7 in the last 10 minutes or so of game time.

 

[NothingLikeAnEJ]

Such a low IQ hockey team.

 

[JoeSakic13]

I was wondering if Kerfoot got a stick on that one, nicely done!
