GDT: Wild Things

[VAcaniac]

Khudobin is yelling at his defense on the ice right now for turning the puck over lmao

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Oh, and I say this after every game I see live, but Jesus, our ice is terrible. We really need to find someone who knows what they're doing.

 

[VAcaniac]

Pens won 3-2

He’s got 70 points on the year now. Last time the canes had two played score 70 points in one season was Staal and Whitney on 08-09.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Nice to see .

 

[dmonk]

Just got home.
Canes played well, but Wild were out of gas in a back-to-back situation.
Staal line was the best line of the game.

Tomorrow's game is even more important. It will be a huge moral boost if Canes win and a lot of breathing room. The loss will be bad with a very tough remaining schedule.

If it ends to be a 3 point game, Columbus should start looking into booking golf resort vacations.

As president, CEO, and assistant undersecretary of the Sky Wasn't Falling From Collapsing Against the Best Team and the Canes Will Be Fine and Respond Club, I approve of this game.

Perfect punctuation. Impeccable.

I have no idea if that's true. I always did well in English class, but I still feel like this. I just try hard and hope for the best at this point.

You did better than like 90% of Americans would do and thats not an exaggeration.

 

[Stickpucker]

Huge thank you from a die-hard Canucks fan, I love the Cans!

I like Cans too. The larger the better!

Too big, and they go all to shit after 40.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I'm really liking Staal's game right now. He looked a bit slow before the injury. His skating legs are back and it makes a difference. Staal creates space drawing in defenders closer to the net in the offensive zone and pushing defensemen back on the rush. Teravainen is doing damage with that space.

 

[Cane mutiny]

So far I'm appreciating Rod the coach as much as I did Rod the player, I think. Keep it going, Roddy.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

GLORIOUS VICTORY!

VENGEANCE WILL BE OURS!

warren foegele's -19 is getting pretty much no airtime. was he fools gold last season? he's entering "well at least he forechecks hard" territory, and you never want to be there. it's weird how most of the rookies we anticipated being awesome didn't do much for this team. zykov, foegele, necas.... and wallmark of all people has carved out a nice little nhl role.

Yeah, but he's still here and playing every night so Rod must see something in him he likes. And if you went through all of his minuses in the last 2-3 months, I think you'd be hard pressed to find many where he directly contributed.

Brandon Sutter had 1 goal in his first 50 games.
Victor Rask scored 11 in his first full season.

Warren has 7 with absolutely zero puck luck. He could have 12-15 easy....

It takes a while to get acclimated to the NHL!

 

[GigaChad]

Go Canes Go!!!!

 

[andy500]

Great bounce back performance!

Win tonight and I think we can stop looking down at the teams chasing us and start looking up and thinking about finishing as high as possible in the division! (especially with the Caps double header)

He reminds me of an earlier vintage Brock McGinn in that he frequently just makes the wrong play. Whether it be passing when and where he shouldn't, taking a wrong read on a play, etc...I notice it frequently with him. Speculating, but maybe it's because he's so focused on working hard, skating hard, and forechecking; since that's what got him to the NHL, that he's not using his head enough. He seemed to excel on that stuff in the AHL. Could also be that he needs more seasoning for the game to slow down for him as his mind isn't keeping up with the rest of his gme.

I'm not really worried about the lack of scoring from him right now though, but want to see the rest of his game come around.

 

[Incubajerks]

Forslund gearing up btw...

The majority of that minus came from the foegele/Staal/Williams line I think.

He’s super raw, but he’s got some skill, as he can beat a defender 1v1 which is rare. He may be out of the nhl in 2 years, he may be a 15 goal guy. It’ll be interesting to see him in camp next season.

Wallmark has done a great job being that Riley Nash style dependable player. Same with him, he could be out of nhl in 2 or carve out a nice 7 or 8 year career.

With the increase in skill level on the roster it’s going to be tough to earn a top 9 spot next season.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Yeah, but he's still here and playing every night so Rod must see something in him he likes. And if you went through all of his minuses in the last 2-3 months, I think you'd be hard pressed to find many where he directly contributed.

You have to go back all of 1 game to find him getting on the wrong side of Callahan to give up the game winning goal.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I don't recall when the switch was made off of that line, but here's Foegle's numbers by month.

	GP	G	A	Pts	+/-
October	12	3	2	5	-3
November	13	0	0	0	-6
December	13	1	0	1	-5
January	12	2	2	4	3
February	13	1	1	2	-3
March	8	0	0	0	-5
