GDT: 10/15/2019 Game 6: Detroit Red Wings @ Vancouver Canucks (10pm EST)

What has Hirose done to earn PP1 duties?

 

[SoupGuru]

GREAT decisions on this PP

 

[raymond23]

Why the f*** is Hirose doing the pp1 entries? Is this a joke?

 

[Realgud]

The amount of bad passes today is just ridiculous.

 

[NervousPerson]

Poor looking PP.

 

[raymond23]

You have Larkin and Mantha on the ice and you’re relying on Hirose to enter the zone. Just silly.

 

[TheMule93]

I'm glad I went to bed and didn't watch that horrendous powerplay

 

[Winger98]

well, that power play just killed my remaining enthusiasm for a west coast game. I think I'm calling it a night.

 

[NickH8]

When will Hronek take Hirose's place for PP1 so we can have a threat on both sides of the ice so teams don't just cover Mantha?

 

[canucks20]

Why is Cholowski on powerplay one over Hronek? Just curious since I'm a big fan of Hronek and have always felt he is one of the better young offensive dmen in hockey

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

So Blash puts AA-Nielsen-Flip out there, a line a suggested ~2 days ago....hmmmm

EDIT: & just like that Hirose & Glenny back w/AA

The real question is

When will Hronek take Hirose's place for PP1 so we can have a threat on both sides of the ice so teams don't just cover Mantha?

I agree with your assesment of Hronek since Day 1...reason being is LHS Cholowski can feed Mantha for the 1-timer easier than a RHS Hronek can.

 

[Gniwder]

Greened again....

 

[NickH8]

This could get real bad real quick for AA, both financially and developmentally. The mental game is super important for goal scorers and I could see him getting tired of this real fast.

 

[Gniwder]

Nice coverage by Nemeth...

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

I know it’s been said here but Hirose needs to see a few games from up high. He’s been really not great so far and he needs a reset if he’s going to make anything of this year. Line 2 needs a shake up asap

He literally lucked into the team hitting a hot streak. His point production from last season was in no way sustainable. He's a rookie with only a handful of games in the NHL, and he looks like it. That is not a knock on him, its just a fact.

 

[odin1981]

Damn just realized it was 2nd intermission thought it was over lol. This is gonna get ugly.

 

[NervousPerson]

Let's see a good powerplay here for once.

Woah. 5 on 3.

 

[Reddwit]

Hronek has developed so much swagger. Love it.

 

[NervousPerson]

Woah. 5 on 3.

Nope.

 

[Bankerguy]

why did Mantha headbutt him? does he do that often?

 

[Shaman464]

That was pretty pathetic. Hirose has no sense what to do with the puck it was always just cycle it to whoever was at the top of the circle. Instead of reversing the cycle, or passing it to the far man.

 

[Gniwder]

Green is just horrendous today. -2 and in the box for 2 more. Should just sit him and play Bowey.
