GDT: [#20] Dallas Stars @ New York Islanders, 12:00 PM CST (FS-SW)

[Dynamite Time]

Unfortunately down 1-0 after 1st but that’s what we need; offensive pressure, attack, chances, etc.

40 mins to go.

 

[Duffeldof]

Am I the only one who feels like there is no plan in offensive game?

It feels like only danger changes come with luck or by two player making one good move together.

And this same exact thing transforms into PP too. It is also more like players making random moves thinking everytime "what do I do know" instead of everyone being on same page and reaction timely and correctly.

Dallas is defending well but opposing team has always more puck control and gets better attack with more speed.

 

[Dynamite Time]

3 dman on that 2nd PP unit?

Dickinson, Hintz, Nichuskin, Pitlick, Faksa...? Place one of the bigger guys in front of the net on that 2nd unit. Not Ritchie of course. A change however is needed, something different I guess.

 

[serp]

Well Ritchie is scratched today so he wasn't anywhere is this game.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Well Ritchie is scratched today so he wasn't anywhere is this game.

Missed that. He’s our 12th fwd today. Ha. He always seems to be anyway.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Lindell!!!

Klingberg who.... jk I miss Klinger

 

[Dynamite Time]

Got it.

 

[Troy McClure]

Ritchie going from top 6 minutes and 1st PP unit to all of a sudden possibly being scratched. Good for Monty. Hitch would've kept with it

And that was coupled with Monty singing Ritchie’s praises. Makes me think it was all Monty trying to build up Ritchie’s confidence hoping it would lead to better play.

 

[Blindsummit]

Esa!

 

[Satan]

Nice shot by Esa. Quickest release he's had in a while lmao

 

[serp]

Great shot by Esa

 

[Magic Mittens]

Hintz baby!!!!

 

[Robert Kentwood]

Hintz!!!!

 

[Dynamite Time]

Got it again. Why can’t we play this way regularly.

Congrats Hintz!

 

[Blindsummit]

Give 'em enough Roope!

 

[Magic Mittens]

Wonder who gets the puck. Spezza with 900 points or Hintz first NHL goal. I'd imagine Spezza would give it to Hintz. Would be different if it was his 1000 point

 

[Smelling Salt]

Could only hold back someone with that flow for so long

 

[serp]

Jordie Benn just scored .

Great for Roope still confused by the number

 

[Magic Mittens]

Nichuskin is scoring today

 

[Robert Kentwood]

Great start to the 2nd. Forechecking is 10x better and we're winning all the lose puck battles.

 

[Blindsummit]

Too many Polaks! There can be only one!

 

[Dynamite Time]

Nichuskin is scoring today

I was just about to say now it’s time for Nichuskin to get his 1st... for the season.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Lindell again!!!

 

[Kcb12345]

Got home and started watching just in time for Hintz's first NHL goal!

 

[Dynamite Time]

Let’s go Esa, let’s go.
