GDT: Game #3: 1/17 Capitals vs Penguins *NOON eastern* 9am PST

[LRS87]

Wait Sprong also plays for Washington? What is their fascination with ex pens? Hags, Schultz, Sheary, Sprong...

Players with cups

 

[Tom Hanks]

is Sully "sticking" it to GMJR with these scratches?

Almost every player could be justified as a healthy scratch right now

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

My rule of thumb - if you keep the same lines/system, then you can expect the same results. ERod on L1 is hilarious. I don't care if he's a place holder or not.

Seriously, especially with how awful L2 has also been.

 

[Gurglesons]

Sullivan is panicking.

Benching Matheson after two games, giving up on Ceci after one.

I mean, not that these guys have been good, but it is a little soon for such moves, especially in Matheson's case. Ceci, I do not mind. He was signed to be a 6/7 anyway.

I would prefer the panic to include a Jake/Zucker swap though.

Yeah. No idea how he isn’t seeing the forward issues too.

 

[ColePens]

Patrick Sharp is a beautiful man

 

[Darren McCord]

Sullivan knows his job is on the line and if they go into a tailspin, he will likely be gone.

So he’s not going to wait around for guys to figure things out and dig a hole.

But he is skipping the least obvious moves. Its insane. Flipping Jake and Zucker. Hell id even throw Angello in for a game on the 4th line.

The defense has been troubling but you won't win if you can't get your top forwards going.

 

[Andy99]

Sully benched Ceci and Matheson? He’s getting fired tonight if they lose.

we can only dream...let’s hope the boys pull out a stinker...

 

[Gurglesons]

No Milbury or Roenick makes NBC tolerable.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Players with cups

Sprong? Niskanen?

 

[LRS87]

Agreed. We act like the Flyers aren't a favorite to win the cup.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Patrick Sharp is a beautiful man

He is a former Flyer working for NBC. Nothing beautiful 'bout that.

 

[Tom Hanks]

My rule of thumb - if you keep the same lines/system, then you can expect the same results. ERod on L1 is hilarious. I don't care if he's a place holder or not.

Yeah ERod should be the point we complain about. Someone else might not do better but we certainly wouldn’t be hurt by trying

 

[LRS87]

Sprong? Niskanen?

I mean f*** I dont know

Secret fetish?

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

No Milbury or Roenick makes NBC tolerable.

Still don't like Jones either though, but much better for sure

 

[Darren McCord]

Agreed. We act like the Flyers aren't a favorite to win the cup.

I dont act. I purposely choose not to except that reality.

 

[LRS87]

Chara a double agent, trying to hurt Caps and going to throw against the Bruins.

Patrick Sharp is a beautiful man

He really do be

He probably doesn’t think they are issues because they have generated a lot of shots.

Silly, but likely the logic he’s using.

 

[Darren McCord]

Maybe they are seeing if Riikola can handle it before trading Petts to Winnipeg.

 

[Andy99]

Sullivan knows his job is on the line and if they go into a tailspin, he will likely be gone.

So he’s not going to wait around for guys to figure things out and dig a hole.

E-rod is the odd exception, but I’m assuming Sullivan lost a bet to him or something.

He has another niece that needs marrying off...

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

No shake up to top 6 but immediate reaction to defense makes me wonder if 87/71 have some input, bc unless they wanna keep trying these line mates you can’t defend Erod.

Crosby and Guentzel were looking him off like kids with the bad players on the playground.

 

[Darren McCord]

He probably doesn’t think they are issues because they have generated a lot of shots.

Silly, but likely the logic he’s using.

Its like Bylsma's imaginary goals.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Agreed. We act like the Flyers aren't a favorite to win the cup.

Because... they... are not?

Colorado, Tampa. Those are the favourites.

 

[TKalltheTime]

Thank god we have an almost 5 MILLION dollar trash heap for the next 6 years sitting in the box... BRILLIANT! Trading horny was beyond stupid... good lord.
