GDT: G9: Avs at Wild - 7pm CT (FSN)

[57special]

Why were no DmeN in front of the net?

 

[Blue Ox]

Why the hell are we wearing our road sweaters?

Since we are wearing the retros tomorrow night, I guess the league didn't want Colorado to have to bring two different jerseys on this trip.

 

[Wabit]

Why the hell are we wearing our road sweaters?

Guessing because of the retrojersey game tommorow.

 

[Prior]

Good decision Spurge

On their pressure based PK, that is the play he is responsible for. Hartman lost his man.

Guessing the Avs only brought these sweaters because the Wild are wearing their white retros tomorrow.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

1st period went about as expected, minus our goal.

 

[Wabit]

On their pressure based PK, that is the play he is responsible for. Hartman lost his man.

Net front was where Spurgeon was supposed to be. Cole was up against the halfwall, not in a spot where they can make a switch.

 

[Webster]

He doesn't HAVE to go anywhere.

Probably no room for Dumba on the protection list

 

[Arto Kilponen]

Soucy specifically on purpose moves the stick so that it makes it possible to bounce in from that to make it 1-0.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Probably no room for Dumba on the protection list

Definitely room.

Parise
Zuccarello

Still responsible for going, doesn’t matter where the partner is. All PKs are taught to challenge players who are not in a position to handle the puck cleanly.

Maybe true, but he still has to be aware of the most dangerous place on the ice.

No, it's a bad play. 4 white sweaters on one side of the ice is a bad PK at any level.

 

[2Pair]

Don't worry, it's not.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Don't worry, it's not.

I don't think it's always the worst thing to do when the guy has his back turned to the middle, but he just needed to pick his spot better. Tying him up on the boards is better than letting him turn and read the ice.

The weak side wing is responsible to sag into the slot.

Guess that’s why the Wild have had one of the top ones and the Sharks are the best currently then huh?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

The weak side wing is responsible to sag into the slot.

And the defender is responsible to know if he's in position to do so.

 

[TaLoN]

 

[Prior]

He was. He just needed to move his feet. Need to trust the guy to do his job and you do yours.

The Sharks play the wheel and the Wild play a box/zone. They are completely different.

The Wild's PK is good because of the structure that keeps everything to the outside. The structure broke down and the GA happened.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

The speed and pace that CO plays with and their puck movement makes me jealous....

At least recognize why the puck is kept to the outside. The Wild’s PP is good because they pressure the carrier who doesn’t have the puck clean or have high percentage options and it keeps the puck to the exterior.

JEEK's hustle is so effing strong

They don't pressure hard. They let them cycle around and try to cut off passing lanes.
