GDT: Game 25: Coyotes @ Blues - 6PM - FSAZ

[BlazingBlueAnt]

I feel like Blues teams of the past would not have just let rime run out that like

 

[justin323032]

Awesome game. Question is, who the hell are we?

 

[Summer Rose]

That is all.

 

[ImNeverWrong]

He's had a really ****ing good game, though. He's been robbed a couple times on the doorstep.

Good to hear, since that line has come together...you guys been winning. so all good!

 

[ImNeverWrong]

That is all.

can this kid take over as starter over raanta? ;p

 

[DoanStopBelievin]

Lots of good.



Can’t stop thinking about Grabs though. That’s the thought dominating my mind.

 

[SniperHF]

A rollercoaster

If you go to the visualize thing on Hockey ref:

Keep in mind there will be another tall green bar at the end for this game.

*hand clap*

Great game, can see the confidence in the Coyotes game.
If Galchenyuk could just get on the board....

And how about Adin "The Thrill" Hill, with another solid game. Looks very comfortable, stopping everything he sees.

 

[Name Nameless]

Hill only first star?

Panik second star?

Kind of confused.

Get well Grabner!

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

Panik second star?

Boosting dat trade value...

I wonder if some of the moxie Schmaltz has shown the last 2 games is partially him realizing he can be a leader on this team. On the Blackhawks even when going well he'll always be in the second rung.
Big fish in small pond kinda works for some players. He said he was surprised about the trade and going to the dumpy Coyotes can be shocking
But we've seen that work for some players in the past.

I wonder what Chayka's thinking re: Pickard. Raanta is meant to be back against L.A and surely you keep Hill around after what he's done.

 

[TheLegend]

Was this what everyone got excited over???

Wait I have something for this.....

Its cause we setting ourselves up to be team America

Last 3 games against the Blues at GRA the Coyotes have scored 17 goals.

 

[Naych_PHX]

I mean, idk, is it luck? But the Coyotes have got 3 in a row without Raanta, Kuemper, Demers and Dvorak. I guess that's a good sign. Schmaltz is a revelation.

 

[DoanStopBelievin]

Been waiting to use this

 

[SniperHF]

Particularly tonight I think we saw some actual coaching on the PP so that's +1 for the non luck ledger.

The Archibald beast mode game was sure as shit luck though

Yeah, that one is not gonna be hard.

Unless he thinks he can trade Raanta. I guess you never know with Chayka.

 

[SniperHF]

Hill has been great and even Kuemper has (unevenly) been good enough.

But Raanta has the best save percentage in the entire NHL the last 5 years. He is going to get another chance to start for this team unless he's out much longer than they are saying.

 

[Muppet]

Schmaltz has been a total godsend for Keller. Those two look great together, and it's starting to get Galchenyuk back into it. I think there's plenty more points coming from that top line.

Take my medical opinion for what it's worth, but certainly looked like an eye injury from the original hit (him flapping his legs seemed ominous). Possible the stick fractured his nose as it was coming up. Good news for me was the stick settled on the medial (or inside) aspect of the eye along the bridge of his nose. That being said, there wasn't direct penetrating to the eye, more likely an abrasion of questionable thickness. We do these types of surgeries and it's extremely rare that they go blind but he should certainly miss some time depending on the treatment. Any sort of eye surgery would keep him sidelined indefinitely to keep intraocular pressure down on the inner eye given the loss of structural "tegrity" (*using Randy's voice). In short, doubtful it's Staal bad. Not an orbital fracture either.

Hey all, just want to update this. I went back to the Blues game feed which gave the best, or worst, angle of the hit. Couple things that stood out. It's worse than I originally thought. Pretty solid contact with the eye at the worst possible trajectory of the blade. Also, there was some blood on the ice, but there would have been lots more if it was a broken nose. I'm afraid this is a much more serious injury than I originally thought.

Chucky does well in space. Keller and Schmaltz create space. Chucky looked good tonight, just nothing to show for it
