GDT: Despite what it sounds like outside, we are not playing the Cardinals tonight, it’s the Hawks

[MinJaBen]

How many games in a row can we give the other team chances instead of putting our foot on their necks? Who needs thumbs anyway? What's the over/under on the number of games together before Tripp goes deaf after a Maniscalco goal call?

Should be fun.

*sorry i stole this bit but I hadnt seen it in a while and wanted to bring it back*

I’ll just wait until the lines come out so that I can irrationally complain about them.

I did apologize ahead of time and recognized it was stolen. Ill include 'with all due respect' next time to be covered by the Geneva Convention as well.

Such a weird feeling to wake up on game day and feel immediate excitement that the Canes are playing later

Just ****ing win please and don't piss away points against a team that should easily be beatable.

 

[Daeavorn]

Hawks don't seem as bad as people were saying. Need to pay attention and not be sloppy tonight. Two points again tonight would be very useful in securing 1st place.

Unless you’re Steve Allen, you’re stealing my bit.

I watched their first game, they were that bad. They have greatly improved since game 1.

 

[AD Skinner]

Lankinen makes a huge difference from subban and whoever else they were rolling out there. Chicago's not terrible

That's uncanny

 

[HisIceness]

Look I don't care if the Blackhawks invent a time machine and turn the clock back to 2010, just f***ing win please.

This game is for the birds... However let's hope the Winds Ground them.

Absolutely but in the first game their skaters were bad too. They had little possession and when they had Ozone time their chances were pretty weak. I saw part of a game of theirs before we played them and they looked like a completely different team, as they did against us.

In the last game, the Canes didn’t play particularly well, but I think they should have still come out of the game with a win in regulation. Two of the three CHI goals came off of d-zone mistakes, the Slavin turnover and the Martinook/Skjei collision. If they clean up those mistakes, they “should” take the 2 points tonight too, but I guess that’s why they play, right?

Marty and Slavin had some, you know, quarantine rust. I'm sure that they'll shake it off sooner than later.

Yes, they were awful in that first game, and haven't had a large amount of possession in general. Their top D for Corsi is de Haan at 52.2%.

But I do think they've adjusted to collapse on the defensive and and try Route 1 to spring their goal scorers. And as we saw, they are actually pretty good at that part.

A former Canes defenseman is the best defenseman that the Hawks have in terms of possession? You don't say...

In all seriousness, that's hilarious.

So anyway will Ned get a start in Chicago (IMO he should) or will we throw him to the Blue Jackets which IMO is a worse plan... Or will we tried to Ride Reimer Forever and only give up that plan when he's broken down Like a wreck at the bottom of the Atlantic.

I definitely don't see riding Reimer to the breaking point. Ned will get one of the 2 Columbus games.

Tonight I see both sides: get Ned some time against an easier foe before Columbus vs ride the clearly superior goalie to maximize wins where we can. I'm leaning toward Reimer tonight and Monday and giving Ned the Sunday matinee.

I think the Canes players realize that skates are very sharp and putting their foot on another players neck could be dangerous.
