GDT: Game 3: Carolina @ Winnipeg, 7pm

Yeah but the Wizard is now safetifying players or somesuch. Unable to pass on his skills due to fears that such things may be unsafe

I plan to be at least moderately invested emotionally in the outcome of this game. it's a risky bet, let's see if it pays off

 

[Joe McGrath]

Remember when the Canes hired Muller and the PP was supposed to magically be unstoppable? Then it wasn't?

The personnel on the PP means so much more than the coaching it's borderline ridiculous. Or have the Caps had the same PP coach for the last 10 years and I'm missing something.

Agreed. I watch other power plays and they move the puck well compared to ours. The other team only fears Faulk at the point the rest of our team isn't feared at all. No one drives and is able to dish no good overloads (Cause it's going to Faulk on the backdoor). I'm shocked that they don't do an overload and have Aho or TT on the backside for the score. Skinner would get attention unless there was asome good passing (Also missing) to break down the D beforehand. I guess it just feels like opposing D's feel they can press w/o regards to safety cause we haven't shown we can beat them. and until we do well might as well do it.

Yeah I agree with the above. Our PP is very passive and teams can play aggressively against it without much risk. I will say our entries have been a lot better recently than in years past. Personnel is also a factor and a big body would be nice.

 

[Wolfpuck]

We haven't played a game in so long, I've basically forgotten what hockey is.

Maybe I could be the power play coach.

 

[Novacane]

Looks like Darling is starting based on the updated game page

Good.

It's nice to see Peters sticking with him as the starter (for now). The real test comes after a bad game.

Will you make them score a f***ing goal?

 

[Wolfpuck]

I will put the fear of God in them.

He’s the hero we’ve needed

Nope, Cam is going to play some games.

That's Pastor Bill's job.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I don't really care if they fire Rod or not at some point, but I'm not convinced that it would do that much to fix the power play.

It won't. Pp takes skill and talented forwards, which the Canes, while improving, still lack.

 

[Wolfpuck]

That's Pastor Bill's job.

Well he ain't doin a good enough job

I seem to recall a 6'4" 220 lb center on the roster...

Seriously, I'm sick as **** of Jordan Staal never putting his ass in front of the net. He's very effective when he does it, but he only does it once in a blue moon. And given his lack of interest in doing stuff like that, I'm still really pissed that we made him quasi-captain.

 

[MinJaBen]

The four on three in overtime last game really ticked me off. I've seen goal posts that moved more than those four on the ice for the first shift.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

move on the powerplay?? but there are more of us they cant guard everyone

 

[RodTheBawd]

Look forward to seeing Necas should he play. Seems like a good opportunity. Fire Rod.

I don't really care if they fire Rod or not at some point, but I'm not convinced that it would do that much to fix the power play.

Hey f*** you guys.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Carolina called a time out for their 4-on-3 in OT. Aho, TT, Rask, Faulk I believe.

They spent 45 seconds passing the puck around, not a one moving. Then Aho got it below the circle left (goalie view), waited until the BJ jumped at cross ice pass and tried to roof one past Bob.

Was that the play they called in the timeout? I hope not, it was awful, you wasted near half your powerplay for a low percentage chance against one of the best goalies in the League.

 

[HisIceness]

Just f***ing win please.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

5-1 lo-

win
