GDT: Carolina @ Dallas 8:30 EST

[Canes]

If not for that penalty I would have forgot Jordan Staal is still on the team

 

[Joe McGrath]

Gardiner sends Svech on a breakaway.

 

[GoldiFox]

This team can't consistently run a system as aggressive as Rod wants. Breakdowns happen constantly all over the ice. Whether they are too weak or too inexperienced or not smart enough, it just isn't working out.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

would not be shocked if we still won this. that's how absurd this team is. not pretty to watch tho...

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Jesus Christ. All of you blaming Mrazek. Big hockey fans?

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Also this team sucks

 

[HisIceness]

Well, the last time they were down 3-1 they came back and won. So, lightning strikes again?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Jesus Christ. All of you blaming Mrazek. Big hockey fans?

Hmmm who is blaming Mrazek for us being down?

 

[Rad ChaLose]

Shoulda been a penalty on whomever tripped Svech there..totally prevented a clean chance

Edit: Also...they suck

 

[The Faulker 27]

Bottom line is Mrazek isn't going to bail them out if he faces too many above average shots, like more than 2 or 3, so they need to wake the f*** up and play better team defense, and do a better job of managing the puck. It would be really great if we had more than 1 scoring line.

I really don't buy all 'we are too young'. I mean, we are not most expierenced team but i wouldn't call any player 'green', except Svech and Necas

 

[hurricure]

Jesus Christ. All of you blaming Mrazek. Big hockey fans?

I can blame a millionaire goalie for letting In crappy goals all the time yes... i can also criticize the whole team ( as I have) when they play putrid... I’ve been watching hockey for almost 4 decades thanks

 

[Stickpucker]

Stars be some dirty ass munchers.

Just broke Ahos stick and who giv a f***.

See boys play like men not little stick tappers and the refs won't call you.

Wrong personnel for this system. You can't tilt the ice in transition and thus, on the forecheck with 3 defensemen that can move the puck.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Remember when we used to outshoot teams 40 to 20... that wasn’t all Hamilton... something is wrong with this team

They have 3 good forwards all on one line and 9 forwards who are shit. Not rocket science.

 

[Negan4Coach]

I get it... he’s made some nice saves... so does my floor hockey goalie... it’s the **** goals he lets in and playing outside his net that bother me

Yeah, for real. Other teams have goaltenders that step up when things get tough. Sometimes even TWO who do that.

"Sometimes, you just have to make a f***ing save"

 

[Stickpucker]

Wtf happened to our speed forcheck game... have teams figured out how to stop us or have we just gotten away from it... we look like 3 gears slower

Lot of guys don't really forecheck well.

Dzingle, Necas are prime examples.

Then some guys have been a lot worse than last year so we get less o zone time.

Staal, Martinook, McGinn, Nino, hell even Aho

*I'm just referencing these guys aviliab to forecheck and win 50/50s in the ozone.

 

[hurricure]

Same team we had - Hamilton that was skating circles around the league for a good portion of the season... so ya, might not be rocket science but still confusing

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

The stars are on pace to put up like 45 shots with probably 10+ ‘scoring chances’ but yes, let’s blame the goalie.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Let's hope for a better 3rd. We need another Vegas comeback.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Can somebody explain to me what Nino Niederreiter brings to the table that he's out there every night for 12 minutes a game?

Haula, Staal, Dzingel and Niederreiter have combined for *zero* shots on goal so far tonight and *one* shot attempt.

Then you should focus your attention on the skaters tonight...because they’ve been ass. Mrazek has been pretty damn good. You can only make so many 10 bell saves. Even in floor hockey.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Dallas has been the consistently better team in this game. We are losing because we deserve it.

In particular, we aren’t getting dynamic puck movement from the back line. Breakouts are dying in the neutral zone because it’s obvious where we’re going with them. We’ve had like 8 icings. Mrazek has about 3 times as many quality saves as Khudobin. We’re not getting our asses kicked, but it’s close. And it’s still quite conceivable that they make a push to tie, because hockey.

I’m not blaming the f***ing goalie... Jesus.,. He’s let in two goals most goalies would have stopped... he’s an average goalie at best who CAN step up occasionally... let’s in backbreaking goals... defend it all you want, I don’t care, yes the team is playing shitty and yes he’s made nice saves but a great goalie keeps us in games like this... if your comfy with the cam Ward three great saves I shitty goal style of goaltending that’s fine... I’m not fine with it

Go back and read my comments... skip over all the ones where I’m flagrantly sucking the forwards off please!!
