GDT: Game 36: Vegas Golden Knights @ Columbus Blue Jackets | 4:00PM | Silence The Cannon

Good news, bad news I guess.

Good: Malcolm played well and Flower got rest. 5/8 on the roadie ('spose that's okay). Now four at home.

Bad: Patches hurt (again). Weak Pacific teams keep winning.

Hopefully go on a tear these next games at the Fortress. Gotta get these homie points now, especially as I'm looking at the standings and see most of the Pacific have games in hand.

I'm particularly worried about the habs. But, as the Kings showed us, no one we face is going to just lie down.

Was Patches healthy before this injury? He hasn’t scored since November 29 and has missed a couple of games. Before that he was on fire.

As Montreal fans love to mention, he's a streaky scorer.

I was marking everything up to streakiness, but he may have been playing less than 100% too.

Personally I don’t really care that much if the team was tired. They actually showed plenty of life in the 3rd period. And I think to separate yourself from other teams you have to find ways to get points in these types of games, especially when you’re trying to chase teams in the standings.

Overall you could say the road trip was okay but the team lost ground in the standings. Calgary won 3 straight, and the Sharks and Ducks won 4 straight.

OTOH the Knights have played the most road games in the league and the rest of the schedule looks pretty favorable. The team needs to make a run these next few weeks. Win the home games and beat LA (the Kings and Knights will play 3 times in the next month).

Yeah saying he hasn’t scored since November 29 could just be a coincidence so I wasn’t sure. The fact that he also missed another game was a bigger deal to me.

We have won only two games this year when I take vacation. Thankfully this is the last for a while. Be back for the game Saturday.

I think i read somewhere last night, if Vegas keeps the same record away and the same record at home they are on track for 97 points. We definitely can not afford to drop home games, hopefully we can show better on the road. Also compared to last season we also have had a pretty front heavy schedule, and I think Jan and Feb we have lighter loads in GP than last season.

Yes, I talked to your boss and you are now only allowed time off during the offseason

 

[hangman005]

Had a hunch you would be the first one to blame it on me.

If not me, it would have been someone else at they might have sucked at it.

Enough with the recreating already then!

I'm just really disappointed that I have to think over another name for the kings GDT... can't go "Happy Hauladays" again if Haula is injured.

The wolves would be a bit easier... We wish you a pirri Christmas hahaha

So confirmed GMGM and Turk read these boards and Pirri was recalled for an easier thread title.
