GDT: G:12 Wild @ Brodziak's new team (Oilers): 8pm CT/3am Finland (FSN)

[HwT]

Good win. Special teams decided this one, I think. Shout out to Stalock as well.

 

[57special]

He's a shooter that is struggling to get a quality shot off his stick... he's feeling the pressure.

I thought he played well tonight, in general.

 

[Wabit]

Leave Coyle in EDM and take Strome home, would anyone notice in the on ice play?

 

[BusQuets]

Zucker with redemption play right there. Good work.

 

[TaLoN]

I am not sure Staal's name has been mentioned yet in this GDT, but he has had a really solid game tonight.

He wasn't horrible, nothing special either though.

Eh, Strome is no bargain. Far Rather have Coyle.

 

[TaLoN]

I thought he played well tonight, in general.

He played well, but the shot attempts, he never get all of the puck.

His best chance was the wrap around that he sent across the crease as he usually does.

That's what I mean, he's struggling to get a quality shot off.

 

[HwT]

He wasn't horrible, nothing special either though.

I disagree, a goal and two key assists. Also, made some nice feeds that didn't result in goals. Really good game imo.

 

[57special]

Doobs is clearly the better goalie, but Stalock's puckhandling is getting bizarrely good. Think Chelsea could use him.

 

[Nsjohnson]

Zucker working hard, he's always been a little streaky. He'll score 4 goals in 8 games soon.

Granny doing Jesus stuff, skating on wine. I mean turned pizza saucers to goals. Er, or...something like that.

Nino actually played ok.

Brodin STRONG GAME. I watched a few of his shifts on McGod. He did well. In fact, Brodin has played his most assertive hockey of his career in the last five games. He's gotten stronger, and hasn't lost a step. And of course, he's gotten better defensively.

I watched a few Twins games this year. I liked Audra Martin much better as a baseball pretty face than her trying to be a hockey pretty face.

 

[TaLoN]

When Staal is really good, you notice him making plays frequently. Other than the plays that resulted in points, you'd forget he was even in the game.

That's why i say he wasn't special.

That snipe...

 

[Wabit]

What a game by Chucky Granny.

 

[TaLoN]

What a game by Chucky Granny.

Chucky was Spurgeon, Granlund was the Leprechaun

Too baby faced to be Granlund, could only be Spurg.

 

[SMTHook]

How good is McDavid? Sick talent. Best since Mario? That was a great win. Granlund has that top shelf corner shot that is unstoppable. Every goalie has a shoulder. Lol.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Maybe it's just me, and maybe I'm 100% wrong, but I really don't have an issue with Zucker going for the net at the end.

 

[TaLoN]

Btw,I think the jury is in, Granlund is better on the right halfwall than he is on the left.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

How good is McDavid? Sick talent. Best since Mario? That was a great win. Granlund has that top shelf corner shot that is unstoppable. Every goalie has a shoulder. Lol.

Lest we forget how freaking good Crosby, Ovechkin and Malkin were in their early 20's.

 

[TaLoN]

Maybe it's just me, and maybe I'm 100% wrong, but I really don't have an issue with Zucker going for the net at the end.

Like I said, he did it because he's feeling the pressure to score, if he wasn't feeling that pressure I think he does a high lob that ends it... i get his thought process, get a goal, maybe change his mindset next game.

 

[Wabit]

Chucky was Spurgeon, Granlund was the Leprechaun

Granny is Chucky for me. Spurgeon is more like the baby from the Adam's Family, only the baby had a better mustache.

Coyle is Freddy with better hair and less stick skills.

That might apply to Nino; I don't think Zucker is that desperate for a goal.

 

[TaLoN]

He's been ice cold lately, and though he played well tonight, he never really got all of the puck on any of his shot attempts.

I think he's absolutely feeling that pressure.

Too many of his shots are coming off the heel of his stick.

I agree he's probably feeling some pressure. I don't think that it really had anything to do with his decision at the end. I'd much rather him try and do that than try a half-assed flip out of the zone that can easily be fanned on or knocked down.
