GDT: Game 34: Canadiens @ Coyotes - 7PM - FSAZ

[Vinny Boombatz]

Did I hear McConnell say that Dvorak & Vinnestroza were skating by themselves?

 

[SniperHF]

getting a franchise level talent would give you a well deserved boost.

Oh we don't take it badly. We know it's the case and more or less have since 2001

But we don't win lotteries so we're boned.

 

[Muppet]

Did I hear McConnell say that Dvorak & Vinnestroza were skating by themselves?

Yeah, both of them have upper body injuries so they're free to skate. Hopefully Vinnie is close, but I bet Dvo is still a couple months away.

But we don't win lotteries so we're boned.

Even if we did, Chayka will go premium analytics mode and reach for somebody outside the top 10 anyway

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Well... I felt like it was more entertaining than last game at least! Low bar but hey

 

[moosemeister]

Welp boys. I'm on the hype train again. This team is dead in the water, we didn't do anything about our injuries and it looks like nothing will get better.



GO! TANK! WIN!!!

I’ve given it some thought, and I think our main problem is that we’re a really bad hockey club. Our ownership is bad, our management is bad, our coaching is bad, and our players are bad. That’s the main problem. We’re a really bad club.

I wish it was like soccer; the Coyotes would fall down leagues until they found a spot commensurate with their income and competence.

 

[Alberta Yote]

A contender in the AHL for sure. I believe!

 

[Jakey53]

If Schmlatz keeps playing like this he will end up on the 4th line very soon.
First few games he played hard. Not sure what happened to him, is he hurt or simply doesnt try anymore.
Chychrun has also very bad game so far tonight.

That was the criticism of him in Chicago. Chychrun has not played well in the D zone this year, in my opinion.

 

[Jakey53]

Yeah.... never quite understood why he recycles the same cliches. I get he's trying to be entertaining for the casual fans watching but there's limits.

Every color crew recycles their cliches. There is only so many different things you can say, and the only reason it stands out is because you hear it every game.

 

[Jakey53]

I wasn't going to say anything during the serious portion of the game for obvious reasons, but he actually wasn't very good tonight. He was moving around well but discombobulated.

Like he was here the last two years.

 

[Jakey53]

Do you think RT has lost the room?

 

[Llewzaher]

Sounds like Grabner is day to day .... At least when he is back we can start scoring short handed again.

So glad it wasnt a career ending thing

 

[Mosby]

Grabner can probably return early with a cage on.

Not to the extent Tyson does. I've listened to other crews and rarely hear a lot of repetitive yammering.

Tyson needs to mix in a salad more often (and not in reference to what he always calls his hair).

 

[moosemeister]

Do you think RT has lost the room?

I don’t think so. That goal scoring frenzy was unsustainable and now injuries have made us the worst team in the league

 

[Mosby]

Also, didn't read through this whole thing, but easily Lyubushkin's best game as well.

 

[azcanuck]

This game is evidence we are bottom dwellers in the league.
The Canadians really didn't come to play, 3 games in 4 nights.
We were scrappy and hard working which is something we are trending towards and I like it. Some of our softies are actually going to the net.
But with our top 5 league goalie out we're heading to the lottery.
nice to see Alex actually put forward some effort last night. He's really just not that good of a hockey player. Very average.
Lyubushkin played his best game of the year. He's marginal at the best of times.
We have injuries like a lot of teams . It just hurts us more because of the lack of high end talent on this team.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Do you think RT has lost the room?

Do we have a room for RT to lose?

 

[Bonsai Tree]

The issue remains one of talent. We don’t have the talent to compete, pure and simple. While I’m no fan of Tocchet, Jack Adams or Toe Blake couldn’t turn this roster into a contender.

We need to find a successful and established GM and let him build a roster. No more hiring of math geniuses out of junior high school.

 

[Mosby]

I agree with the first part.

The second part needs more cash to work with. We spend the least of any team and are only reaching the cap floor with fake money.

CHL got disbanded tho

This exactly...I feel the Yotes are just some high school science project. I want a real hockey guy GM who hates losing with a passion. A real owner who has money who also hates losing with a passion. Otherwise were all just wasting our time.

The only recent game we didn't compete in was against Carolina.
