GDT: 10/29/19 - 7:30PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ New York Rangers

[Five Alarm Fire]

This is my first full game of the season and I have no clue how you guys have been watching every night lol

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

The ice seems pretty bad. Puck is bouncing a lot to.

The World famous Madison Square Garden!

 

[Master P]

That was a weak call. Ranger player tried to take a shot at the puck and tied up Sergachev in the process.

 

[DFC]

We had a strong 15 minutes, then decided the Rangers weren't worth playing hard against.

Thats kind of it. I'm sure there was a concert or something a day or two ago which is why the ice might be bad.

This looks like Gretzky's Oilers compared to the Canes game.

I don't think we've looked good at all this game tbh. Everyone looks slow.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

That was a crap period but I'm not surprised, I wasn't expecting them to show up against the Rangers. Vasi looks good tonight though

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

As Pierre said, Maroon never came back. Makes this game that much more important for Verhaeghe to hold off any possible idea at an injury call up. Fwiw Gemel Smith has 7 points in 6 games and Volkov has 3 points in his first 3 games back down in Syracuse.

Aside from the goal, Everytime the puck goes near Kuch it's a turnover. I'm getting sick of that shit.

What are the odds we send him down? Do you think any other teams have Dom's Chart and claim him?

 

[Tampacuseforever]

The good thing is he's progressing and he's got the rest of the season to work on his game. For me, the real deal is the playoffs which is obviously a different animal. He's got to get to the point where he can take playoffs shifts, and he's responsible enough defensively where you're not holding him on the bench for spot duty.

We are not going anywhere unless our stars show up in the playoffs. Adding a tough AHL player will not move the needle in any way. Maroon has some attributes Witkowski does not. IMO.

This team is so boring to watch. I thought we had a lot of skill but right now I’m not too sure. With Kucherov playing badly it’s easy to see how painfully average most of our forwards are.

Idk. Right now with the current line up, he's the 13th forward and essentially the new Danick Martel and that's a safe position to hold. But with openings caused by injuries, he's got to prove himself and hold off any challengers clawing for the opportunity down in the AHL.

If it's a day-to-day situation, maybe it doesn't matter, but if it's a long term thing, then I think you look at all options.

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

concussed

 

[DFC]

Hard to think it's anything but a concussion.

Let's see what Volkov can do.

 

[Master P]

I was worried that he might have hit his head on the ice when he went down.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Elsewhere Caps lead Leafs 2-1 & Muzzin takes a run in from Wilson



And Boston is taking it to San Jose 5-1. Shots 33-11.

 

[Master P]

Hard to think it's anything but a concussion.

Let's see what Volkov can do.

The future is NOW

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Hard to think it's anything but a concussion.

Let's see what Volkov can do.

Don't like Volkov in that role. Would rather bring up Gemel if it comes down to it. Roll the dice on if he gets picked up if we send him down after.

Is that not a charge?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Something to consider too is we have a trip to Sweden coming up. Bolts need to have their roster in order before they cross the pond.

 

[Sky04]

Don't like Volkov in that role. Would rather bring up Gemel if it comes down to it. Roll the dice on if he gets picked up if we send him down after.

Who cares, any NHL time is good for a prospect looking to make the jump. He's not going to break the top-6 right away, starting small and seeing if he can create at the NHL level is fine.

 

[DFC]

Anybody still hold their breath when Stamkos slides into a post?
