GDT: [#9] Chicago Blackhawks @ Dallas Stars, 2:00 PM CST (FS-SW) - The first Janny grudge match

[The Tourist]

That was a couple really good shifts. Zadorov is so slow and stiff.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Wtf cogs

Why shoot the puck when you can try to dangle 5 guys to get to the net?

He's too good at that for his own good and takes it too far sometimes.

It reminds me of how Taylor Hall was in Edmonton, he'd do all this fancy work to get around and through an entire team, but then would go into the zone, do a spin by one of the faceoff circles, and lose the puck.

Cogs looks like the Mighty Ducks 2 kid trying to stop.

 

[Kcb12345]

Robertson is looking wayyy more confident now...

I don't think he is very good with it, because after his first move he isn't in good position anymore and is scrambling to try and keep the puck which forces him to extend and try for more moves.

Basically, he does one dangle which forces him to do multiple dangles because he can't control the puck after the first dangle.

It's like dangle dominoes.

It was an intentional slew foot. Right in front of the ref. Moron.

I truly don’t understand why you guys gripe about a Klingberg so much. Him taking chances like that is why he generates so much offense. That’s the thing Heiskanen needs to learn from Klingberg. If you have the skill, use it.

 

[WhoahNow]

Oettinger has looked a lot more confident

 

[BigG44]

Damn dude .... Oettinger is feeling it this afternoon.

 

[serp]

Nice of Soderberg to gift us that

Because he is better served at dancing the line or driving down the wall, trying to force it down the middle of the ice into 5 defenders has a very small chance of success but a very high chance of turning it over for an odd-man rush the other way.

<3 Oettinger

Typical early game.

Turning the puck over in front of the other team’s goalie is not a meaningful risk. You’re way overstating it. Trying to beat “play it safe” into a guy like Klingberg would be the worst way to handle him. You’d take away the very thing that makes him great. Him dangling and dancing is why he’s tied for the team lead in assists. Embrace it. This is a good thing.

 

[BigG44]

I mean ... this is a clinic in tracking the puck.

 

[Kcb12345]

Wish we could combine Gurianov and Robertson

Looks much better today

 

[Smelling Salt]

What did I miss

 

[Satan]

What did I miss

a few shots and a few saves

 

[Smelling Salt]

Damn Delly nice

 

[serp]

Idk about that Jamie . I get defending the rookie but thats not a good trade

 

[Nikki Potnick]

That's my captain.

 

[ugrakarma]

Iirc he has history with Zadorov.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Rev it up, there you go Benn!
