GDT: HURRICANES AT ISLANDERS, BEAT THEY ASS INTO NEXT SEASON EDITION

[Stickpucker]

also, why was the gdt taken away from mrazekrevenge?

He was on sabbatical in the shed of vengeance studying a fusion of the art of war, hockey, and the kama sutra.

F*** afternoon games.

 

[Unsustainable]

never heard so much fellatio from an "unbiased" announcers for a team

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Svech-Aho-Guentzel has been 4th line material at 5v5

1 GA, 0 GF.

xG is 2.56 to 2.48

 

[Svechhammer]

Also cut it out with the whining about not calling a penalty for the Aho trip. The refs are never calling that in playoff OT, especially when it would potentially eliminate a team. We were going to have to win that game 5v5.

We can't rely on the PP when it gets to OT. We are going to have to score even strength

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I'd go back to SAT, put Guentz and Jarvis with Koko (yes, really)

 

[Brock Anton]

Also, put Guentzel-Aho-Jarvis back together.

F*** afternoon games.

Our games this series have been a ratings dud so we will keep getting the crappy times if there is an option.

 

[Stickpucker]

I've heard of gripping the stick too tight the boys were holding the stick too loose today.

Need to tighten things up like this girl for the next game

 

[Svechhammer]

Quite frankly KK had the series on his stick and he hit the post. At that moment you had to kind of know the Isles were finding a way

Exactly. 0 goals 5v5 in 80+ minutes of play tonight. The fact that this is still a problem is wild to me.

 

[Reijo29]

Refs cost this in OT, didn't call the trip and tackle on Aho, and Piles should have had the extra guy in the box.

Also the bias of the f***ing announcers is so bad

Do you expect the announcers to be rooting for a sweep? The Canes are a ratings dud, of course the network would like a little more excitement.

I'm of 2 minds on this. I half agree and I was annoyed Aho didn't attempt to get up faster like he was waiting on the call.

But also Boston or NYR would've gotten that call OT or not.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Fun fact Martinook has almost double the 2nd highest person for individual expected goals 5v5. (aho is 2nd)

 

[Stickpucker]

I thought Turbo had a quietly good game today and Jarvos was good.

Staal needs to find another gear. If you aren't going to score much at least win some faceoffs and if you aren't dong that you needs to be the moose and wreck some people.

I'd expect some sort of professionalism, not for the actively trying to get to the bench and suck their dick between shifts.

Of course he does....it's playoff Martinook and if I were RBA I'd put him on the first line.

Also shows the 1st line ain’t doing much. Svech is 9th, a third of Martinook’s number

 

[Reijo29]

Between everyone here, I don’t think they’re playing that great. And this was before todays game. They are so far superior to the Islanders on paper

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Two things to accomplish next game:

1. Score at even-strength
2. Win a goddamn faceoff.

Also, it’s a bit concerning that Barzal has found his scoring touch. That’s not good news for Game 5.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Missed call or not, we shouldn’t be relying on the refs to beat the f***ing Piles.

They’re not playing well at all. It’s 3-1 solely due to talent differential. Game 1 was 50-50, we dominated Game 2, Freddie won Game 3 and today was another 50-50 (at best) game.

If we play like this against the Rags, it’s not going to go well.

 

[dogbazinho]

Missed call or not, we shouldn’t be relying on the refs to beat the f***ing Piles.

I actually think the officiating overall favored us. We got handed a couple of free icings, and Orlov very easily could have been the only one penalized going into the 2nd OT.

The faceoff discrepancy is alarming. We need Staal to be dominating in the circle, because he's still got a couple years left and if he starts getting cratered on faceoffs, it doesn't bode well for how that contract will age

Wasn’t Pageau like 80% in the circle?
