GDT: CAPS @ CANES

[Roboturner913]

Martinook is a penalty killer, period.

He reminds me of Stalberg

 

[Tryamw]

To hear the Caps announcers you'd think he had anally violated him

Just the Tip .... (referring to Methot)

 

[Unsustainable]

In house entertainer is tall, and hot.

A couple 2nd intermission thoughts:

• McLovin needs to be a regular on this team. He brings all the energy of Nordstrom, but with an actual offensive presence
• Would love to see more of the Zykov - Aho - Svech going forward. I can totally see Zykov being the Tlusty-type compliment to our two most talented forwards.
• Necas can FLY
• Hamilton can SHOOT
• De Haan - Faulk pairing doesn't look great
• Can't knock Mrazek too much since he's only let in 1 goal, but he's looked a bit shaky to me. Similar to Darling the other day, he's looked out of position on plays where the shot just didn't get through. Still my choice for Day 1 starter.

Co-signed.

They just flashed an intermission stats package that showed shots, PP TOI, etc. They included a line to show the EV TOI for each team. Someone probably needs to think that one through.

Mrazek finishes 9/10

Ned in for the third

I'm going to guess they were equal? I don't recall any team playing a man down by choice.

 

[HisIceness]

Go Ned go

What are you like 3 minutes ahead?

I heart Foegele, too. I just worry that it's too early in his career to pigeon-hole him as a fourth liner. I can see a scenario where he gets second line and power play time in Charlotte and develops into a middle-6 guy. Plus ... so many rookies (Svech, Necas, Zykov) ... I'm just worried.

As for the de Haan/Faulk pairing, I think it's almost goes without saying that any issues with a blank-Faulk pairing is the Faulk part. I really hope Justin gets something going long enough for us to trade him.

And I'm *still* not talking about the goaltending, but let me just say that I think "pretty" is a little too high a bar for us this season. "Shaky but OK" sounds like a more reasonable goal.

Foegele is probably better than McGinn, but I don’t think he passes Ferland or Z on the left

 

[Tryamw]

PP time.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I have ESP.

 

[Unsustainable]

Damn Necas has wheels

 

[Wolfpuck]

Wallmark robbed by the knob of the stick

 

[Unsustainable]

Svechnikov with that accurate shot

 

[Unsustainable]

Kuokkanen looked better with Staal and Williams vs McGinn

 

[Tryamw]

3rd period going fast.

 

[bleedgreen]

Like I mentioned earlier, if Foegele loses a spot to Martinook I’m cracking skulls. He belongs in the bigs, he’s the closest thing we have to what brindy would want for “culture change”.

 

[Boats Ahoes]

My HF crashed for a minute. Did Tavares score a goal?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Ned finally faces his first shot

Why can’t we have both?

Z - A - S
K - S - W
F - N - T
F - M - P

 

[emptyNedder]

Kruger scored for Chicago--wonder if the opposing D threw it to his stick?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I have ESP.

They show hockey?
