GDT: Williams night: Canes vs Kings

[Wolfpuck]

I start to wonder if this team have legit #2 center (Couturier, Trocheck and etc)... could he win the Stanley?

We already have a #2 center; Aho.

 

[Highest Boss]

So pace with Darling 62 P. Pace without Darling 101 P, now would be 78 P.

If aunt would have balls she would be actually he-

If...just if.

I was thinking about this since we're playing the if game. If we didnt try to resurrect Darling we probably wouldnt have McElhinney

 

[RodTheBawd]

f*** Phaneuf.

 

[robbieberns]

Man, I love these top two lines. Ferland-Staal-TT especially. Jordan looked like he did at the very beginning of the season, playing like a giant wrecking ball with big and powerful strides towards the net. He’s a perfect foil for the playmaking qualities of TT.

I honestly think re-signing Ferland is the only high end move we’d need to make this offseason up top. Keep Williams around and I think we could roll with a top 12 next year that looks like:

Nino - Aho - Svechnikov
Ferland - Staal - TT
Martinook - Necas - Williams
McGinn - Wallmark - Saku

 

[vorbis]

Quite possibly. The way he was skating off the ice to me indicated more of a back injury though, at least from where i was sitting

also if you watch the highlights or whatever, he's seen grimacing during one of the goal celebrations, and in another he's skating rather gingerly. so I think the back injury theory has merit.

Darling getting hurt which led us to claim McElhinney is probably his greatest contribution to the team, sad to say.

 

[Lempo]

I like how you have to slowly peek out the last one like they do in the Finnish variant of Five-Card Stud.

So yeah on this educational video they don't do the personal peeksy stuff for the final card that's dealed face down in the Sökö variant, but I can't not post this as it seems to have the Canadian Stud Connor McDavid in a TML jersey.

edit: either I forgot to add video, or it got justifiedly deleted for being in French. I can't remember what I did.

 

[SvechneJerk]

Even though I’m glad he’s not here anymore, because of Darling we have Svech & McStarter. Those 2 things alone are worth a video tribute, dontcha think?

Footage of all the softies he gave up with “I will remember you” playing in the background.

Seriously, though, I feel kinda bad laughing about the situation given what he’s currently going through. Hope he gets better.

To be clear - not having a fun with his situation.

But, yeah, we could look back on all of those gaffs MUCH DIFFERENTLY than we did when they were happening.

Necas X Williams
Martinook Wallmark Mäenalanen

 

[Plevna]

Nino-Aho-Svech
Ferland-TT-Williams
Necas-Staal-Maenalanen
Martinook-Wallmark-X

?

 

[RodTheBawd]

Not sure if someone else talked about this previously, but I loved how unabashed(?) Forslund was about shitting on Kovalchuk. He was ruthless every chance he could get.

Oh and f*** Phaneuf. There is not a single guy I hate more in the NHL than that bird looking f***.

 

[spockBokk]

I'd like to see:

Nino Aho Svech
Ferland Staal TT
Necas X Williams
Martinook Wallmark Mäenalanen

With Necas added, I’d like to see:

21-20-14
37-11-79
86-71-88
13-42-48

 

[SlavinAway]

With Necas added, I’d like to see:

21-20-14 = -13
37-11-79 = -53
86-71-88 = -73
13-42-48 = -77

I'm kind of annoyed by Hamilton's comments after the game when they asked him about the dust up shit late in the game. He said he was an idiot for going for a hat trick in a game like that, shouldn't have, and deserved to have those guys come after him. f*** that shit. They were gooning it up before anything else, we should have kept pouring it on. Oh, and f*** Phaneuf.

 

[Stickpucker]

They didn’t actually announce Faulk would not be returning until after Ferland. I honestly didn’t even notice Faulk wasn’t gone.

I really think Ferland hurt his forearm. When he went flying across the crease he had his arm out to break his fall and all of his weight appeared to come down on it. It must have been something really painful to immediately rush off the ice while the team was celebrating the goal.

I had a similar injury playing soccer getting pushed down in the box. I ended up having a hairline fracture that hurt for a day but was fine shortly after.

Let's hope the same for Ferdaddy.

 

[A Star is Burns]

At his worst Slavin was at -18 on December 29th which was 37 games into the year. After starting the season +2 he had a 33 game stretch where he went -20 and had only 3 games where he finished +.
Since December 29th Slavin is +18 in 27GP. During that stretch he has been a negative player only 5 times.

	# Negative +/-	# Neutral +/-	# Positive +/-
Games 1-37	16	16	5
Games 38-63	5	8	13

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Not many better examples of the team gelling than the Slavin-Hamilton pair. They both got a bit less selfish and both became better offensively and defensively.

Hamilton reiterated very firmly last night that he thought his early season injury was the biggest factor in his play then as well.

Calgary fans (or the section of the fanbase who vocally did not like the man) cited as a concrete indiscretion a postgame interview of a 6-3 loss in which he seemed elated because the 3 Calgary goals were scored by him. I think that history colored his words.

 

[MinJaBen]

One thing that really stood out to me about Hamilton’s post game interview was how much he was saying all the guys really liked playing together and for each other. For a guy that has a reputation (true or not) of being aloof or a loner, that says a lot about the buy in on his part. Makes me think that if we want him when his contract is up, he will not be a hard guy to resign.

Quit being lazy.

Quit being lazy.

Actually that was hard, took me a good minute or two to remember Mckeegz numba.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

So we got there during the national anthem and we didn't see a thing for Williams all night.

Was it only on TV or did we just get there too late?
