GDT: Game 5: Bruins @ Coyotes | 6:00 p.m. PDT | FS-A | 620 AM

[Summer Rose]

"Raanta! Nooooooooooo!!!"

"You know what we have to do, men. We must find Private Marek Langhamer."
"Where is he? Where can we find him?"
"Deep behind enemy lines. His last known position was... the AHL."

"So you're telling me we have to go to... Tucson?"
"I got a bad feeling about this one."
"When was the last time you felt good about anything?"
"He better be worth it. He better come up and pitch a shutout, or at least win us a damn game."

"Hell, these guys deserve to get called up as much as I do. They've fought just as hard."
"Is that what I'm supposed to tell your mother when she has to watch you get sent down to Fort Wayne?"
"You can tell her that when you found me, I was with the only brothers I had left. And that there was no way I was deserting them. I think she'd understand that."
"Come on, let's go. We need you."

Picture of a bunny with a waffle on its head for no reason:

If we lose, I'm blaming Dasyotesfan92 since a Saving Private Ryan GDT was his idea. Hopefully you guys don't think it sucks.

Awesome GDT again Lady Macbeth. Probably more entertaining than the game will be.

 

[Matias Maccete]

That's a great movie. Hopefully this game is a lot less bloody than the movie though. I don't see a victory, but we should stay in it. This should be a good test, we looked good against Detroit, but Detroit isn't great.

Do I see a tank somewhere in that GDT? Foreshadowing?...

I'm going to blow up this post with a sticky bomb.

Svechnikov has 10 goals in his first 8 OHL games as a rookie import.

He's the 4th or 5th best prospect coming out then?

2nd. There's a Tkachuk and a top rated Swedish puck moving RHS D also in the top five.

That is one ugly uniform mash up.

You know we have no shot picking second. Why are you torturing yourself again? Generational players go first and second and we aren't allowed to have them.

Tkachuk or Boqvist is also fine.

Last game of the Rinaldo suspension. I wonder if they would let him suit up for a game or so.

My gut says yes.

Hope this game isn't FUBAR.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I'm going to this game with this "cringing" feeling up and down my spine. I've calmed down from last week when I wanted the team to hit the reset with a new and experienced coach like Sutter, but this pond hockey style of play is just awful. Never thought that I'd miss a structured game so much.

 

[Grimes]

When is the last time we beat the Bruins?

It's just poor execution. The question is whether it's due to a lack of ability or a lack of experience. If it's the latter, we'll make great strides this season. If it's the former, might as well pack em up and move em to Houston.

When we played them in Prague, I think.

October 9, 2010.

The Coyotes won 5-2. The game was played in Prague. The winning goalie was Ilya Bryzgalov. We got goals from Eric Belanger, Taylor Pyatt, Scottie Upshall, and a pair from Radim Vrbata.

Boston is starting Anton friggin Khudobin tonight. We're seen as a joke. Rightfully so. Still, a garbage backup. Hope we don't piss away this opportunity too. Hope our backup is less trashy than theirs.

Yeah. I don't have much use for Rinaldo myself but especially if they keep losing Rinaldo will see some game action.

First game of a back to back for the Bruins. They're at Vegas tomorrow so given an 0-3-1 team tonight and a 3-1-0 team tomorrow how would you play it??

 

[awfulwaffle]

Not going to make the game tonight if anyone wants a single.

We're still miles better than Vegas. The records mean nothing.

What if it's not from a deficit in execution or ability but rather a poorly conceived system of play? If that's the case, we're going to look bad until the coaching staff is replaced.
