GDT: Game 13 | Philadelphia @ Columbus | 7 PM EST | The Return of Torts

[ColumbusTrill]

Is it a hot take that I think Guance > Sillinger

When Kuraly comes back I think Silly should be the one sent down

 

[I3LI3]

owen tippett with the rare -5 tonight.

 

[NotWendell]

I want Christiansen called up.

 

[VT]

Let’s enjoy this victory, if Z is out, this might be our only win for a bit.

JG is the first, second and third star tonight

I don't agree, Korpisalo was great. If Elvis was there the result could be awful.

Nice night from Korpisalo. He's got to feel great about it. The defensemen showed true heart tonight, impressive stuff from them.

Ds were excellent but I think Fs helped them very good.

 

[I3LI3]

Cole needs to be sent down asap.

he isn’t producing or bringing anything to the table other than putrid skating and horrible puck handling skills.

tonight he was on the ice for just ONE shot on goal at even strength despite playing more than 12 minutes at even strength. that’s awful. not to mention he was on the ice for 8 shots against at EVS.

 

[VT]

I prefer to call young boys. Let them try NHL.

 

[NotWendell]

Something else they did tonight was stay out of the box. Critically important since they were down two men.

Phrasing!

Is the fourth line really who we want out there against the flyers 6v5? Less than 3 mins in the game, not sure why they see the ice.

Unless that’s who the coaching staff trusts, but then I still think that’s not a good sign.

I'd sooner trust Gaunce, Robinson, and Olivier than our kid line. Probably no worse than Roslovic's line either.

Our fourth line has been a D zone starts heavy line since Kuraly joined the team, it isn't a sheltered unit.

Kopri, impressive.
I’m seriously not hating on elvis, I just really believe if he was in net, philly would’ve had atleast 3.

philly had an expected goal total of 4.48
Korpi with 2.48 saves above expected. game changer.

Just my impression but I think 4.48 probably overstates the danger a bit. A lot of Flyers grinders whacking at pucks. Korpi was good though.

[NotWendell]

The numbers I'm looking at show Philly with a xGF of 2.86.

The numbers I'm looking at show Philly with a xGF of 2.86.

that’s for even strength only.

 

[MAHJ71]

Damn.. when you think the defense couldn't possibly get worse, lol.. when it rains it pours baby!!

8's Injury may be my embrace the tank moment.. yes I'm being slightly dramatic.

 

[MissADD]

Probably the best game they played all year and this happens. What did we do to deserve this?

 

[NotWendell]

We're about to find out if Z on PP1 has been a hinderance as some of you have posited.

that’s for even strength only.

Oh, good catch! 3.54 is their actual number. Right?

 

[majormajor]

We're about to find out if Z on PP1 has been a hinderance as some of you have posited.

We'll see. I got the feeling they'll put Bean with PP1 and Blanks with PP2, which again spoils the one-timers and slows down puck movement.

 

[I3LI3]

bleh bleh bleh.

according to hockeystatcards, Gavrikov is rated the worst defenseman in all of hockey. worse than Gudbranson.

according to naturalstattrick, yep. the xGF for philly that I posted earlier was from moneypuck. quite a big difference which maybe that’s why @majormajor thought philly had a lower xGF total than the above 4 stat that I posted.

Gentlemen, to your tanks.

Gavrikov primarily plays defensive zone starts and penalty kill, considering the state of CBJ in general, that’s hard to imagine good numbers for someone in his position

do you think he’s been good? what about even average? I don’t. I think his play has regressed heavily since his rookie season, regardless of what advanced stats say.

That's unfortunately very likely.

Every single veteran defenseman performance regressed this season, tbh

 

[KCbus]

I'm coming in late, so this probably isn't original thought at this point, but did anyone else notice that the Jackets played some of its best defensive hockey of the season AFTER Werenski and Gudbranson were out of the lineup?
