GDT: Game 10: Columbus vs. Toronto | 10/25 7PM EDT

It might explain why we have problems getting out of our own zone though. Everyone is so deep in the zone that the defenders on the other team are able to gobble up any loose pucks going towards the blue line when they would have to play more conservatively if one of our forwards was nearby.

Might also explain why breakaways are in short supply for us. Our furthest guy up might have see a change of momentum and gotten to our own blueline to get the pass instead of the red or opposing blueline.

wow... wiring Dan Hinote is no more enlightening than if they'd wire an average fan...

"good job guys!"

"way to go guys!"

"let's go PP!"

 

[FANonymous]

Not much of a hold there but ok...

 

[FANonymous]

Well, not much of a trip there, so ok...

 

[Samkow]

Howson's in the house!

 

[DJA]

Truly epic power play so far.

Why does RJ get PP time again? Gabby, Atkinson, RyJo, Anisimov, Letestu, Foligno, Dubinsky are all better options.

 

[aRussian]

I feel like we get a lot of PP chances that split periods...

Comeau is not invisible.

You know I was wondering the very same thing

 

[Roadman]

Prout looks like a damn linebacker.

 

[EspenK]

Bet Bob would like that one back.

Have to quit checking towards the end of the intermission. Delay is a couple of minutes.

RJ just doesn't have the hands to be that effective on the PP unless he's parking his ass in front of the net. Unfortunately we are having problems getting set up so he has no chance to get to where he needs to be.

We need better stickhandlers out there to beat people one on one or to be able to make the more difficult passes. That's why I'd put Foligno out there over RJ, with the condition that he's not allowed to do more than 3 moves without passing or shooting. He has very good hands but he tries stuff that is just outside of his abilities.

I'd like to Letestu. I feel he's a bit buried and it's a challenge for him to show his offensive skills, which he has. I think he ought to be on a PP unit, he was effective there last year if I'm remembering it right.

edit: Foligno and Letestu are on the power play right now

All he is missing is some pom-poms...

 

[FANonymous]

Even Wiz is trying to get RJ off the ice when we're on the power play!

 

[Zarathustra]

Gaborik made that look like nothing.

 

[MFRONE]

Jackets should try to put a shot on goal this period.

 

[aRussian]

Bam!!

 

[DJA]

I'd say Gabby is having one of his patented "on" years.

 

[FANonymous]

Great work by Foligno!

 

[db2011]

Right on, Foligno with one extra fake does the trick

 

[punk_o_holic]

Nice set up by Foligno.
