GDT: Game 10 | Buffalo @ Ottawa | Feb 5th, 7:30PM | Whar GDT Whar?

[Berserker*]

Last in the league before this game as a matter of fact.

Wow that's terrible. Are their centers known for being mediocre at faceoffs or are they just struggling this year?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Alfie looked better tonight than he has in the last week or two as well. He was flying out there.

It can hit your skate, you just can't distinctly kick it in.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Awesome game.

Great games for all the Bingo boys (Zbad, Da Costa, Benoit, Wiercioch, Borowiecki). Luke is doing a astute job in Binghamton developing these players.

 

[Quo]

You should see a boost in stats for all our centers, Buffalo was terrible in the dot today. Actually if I'm not mistaken they have been terrible in the dot all season.

You're not mistaken. Buffalo is right up there with the worst if they're not the absolute worst on faceoffs. So not much to get excited over I guess.

Don't Hodgson, Ennis and Grigorenko all play center? That's a serious lack of experience. Young players are rarely good in the dot. That's just something you have to learn at the NHL level.

I agree, he was great tonight. Arguably his best game this season IMO.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

I know they got a 1st for Gaustad, but they really miss him.

MacLean says that Jacob Silfverberg is fine after taking that shot to the hand late in the 3rd period.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

It can hit your skate, you just can't distinctly kick it in.

It looked like he grazed it forward after it hit off. Gonna have to see the replay when it comes out.

 

[18Hossa]

Apparently Turris had 0 SOG tonight.

 

[God Says No]

da costa only played 7:07. i guess mac didn't like something.

He actually just singled him out as one of our best players tonight on the post-game show.

Ya, but even their vets were terrible today. Pomnville was at 13% (1w,7L) and Ott was at 20% (1w, 4L). Isn't Ott supposed to be good at faceoffs?

 

[SelleckStache]

I'm fine, boys.

Good. Stop shooting wide side and start driving the net you euro

 

[18Hossa]

I'm fine, boys.

Stop falling down then unless it's to block a shot.

 

[Berserker*]

It is probably just a coincidence but this season we have tended to score more goals when Neil is wearing the A.

Maclean praised him in the postgame interview on the Team 1200.

 

[SelleckStache]

Not playing on the pk has a lot to do with his ice time.

Also, it has been 0 days since your last TMM penalty

 

[God Says No]

Maclean praised him in the postgame interview on the Team 1200.

ok. cool. i only watched the first two periods. and he looked ok. so i was surprised to see he played so little.

 

[SelleckStache]

Annnnnnd 35 minutes before sports net shows highlights from the game they just broadcast.

 

[OgieO]

Regin was excellent.

haters?

bruiser?

 

[General Granny*]

Wow that's terrible. Are their centers known for being mediocre at faceoffs or are they just struggling this year?

Well they traded their #1 center in Roy and got Ott back, also tradedtheir #3 center in Gaustad and he was their best faceoff guy.

So now

Hodgson
Ennis
Grigorenko

 

[Senscore]

Loved what I saw from the top line tonight. The Zibby-Turris-Alfie line was constantly creating good chances and did an excellent job at forcing turnovers.


Bodes well for the immediate future.
