GDT: Game 37: Coyotes @ Kings - FSAZ - 8:30PM - Late Night Hockey!

Not to be ridiculous or anything here regarding Dvorak, but we're only 5 points out of a playoff spot right now guys. I think we're gonna see him. I'm not by any means saying that we'll make the playoff, but we're too close to think that anyone in our brass will start pumping the brakes

Love the optimism! Put Dvo, Grabs, and Hino back in the lineup and we're a better team. I'd love to keep Garland too.

And if we could get the best part time goalie the last few years in the NHL back, that would help too

^Dude's got a point, we've seemingly rushed back everyone else. I still don't think Chychrun is 100% right now physically, particularly in cutting left/right. Unless what we're seeing is simply permanent damage.

Love the optimism!

I'm not sure it's a good thing though
Raanta was obviously not ready those starts he gave up 5 and then 6 goals in (which are almost solely responsible for throwing his numbers). Then 1 more game and he was out again.

It's less risky for the team to bring back a skater but just as risky for the player.

Normally I'm 100% in the camp that the team is willing to let him play it's probably safe, but we've clearly had issues with the medical staff around here.

If I remember correctly, the key stat in Moneyball was on-base percentage. If I adopted a moneypuck approach what would be the key stat?

Probably high Corsi For% with a low PDO

I don't think we should rush back anyone...for what? This team has no protection in the lineup. This team is a unfinished product that needs at least a couple tough but skilled players that can help out. Were just lining our guys up for more injuries. When things ramp up towards playoffs we will not be able to withstand the more physical play and I think not have a shot at the playoffs. No depth nor physical enough for prime time yet.

So we're back to replaying the same Todd Walsh interview with Dustin Brown before the last Kings game again???

Yeesh that lineup is ugly.

 

[Summer Rose]

Is Todd really talking about how Richardson being out well affect our power play?

 

[Muppet]

Kuemper v Quick for robberies so far. Surprisingly fast pace for a bunch of players working off Xmas leftovers.

 

[moosemeister]

I hate Tyson so much. “The dancing bear”. It wasn’t funny the last two years Tyson, it’s not funny now.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Power Kill time?

 

[SniperHF]

Looks like I haven't missed much.

 

[Muppet]

Power Kill time?

Without Grabs or Richie?

Crouse gave it a shot, looked a little out of gas though.

Too much Xmas ham for the Sheriff.

Too much Xmas ham for the Sheriff.

Ham > Turkey

Don’t @ me

I completely agree.

Decent puck movement so far. Haven't lost the zone yet either

 

[SniperHF]

arise etc etc

Great play from Galchenyuk, too.

 

[SniperHF]

Garland with PP#2 time, kewl.

Galchenyuk with a nice pass as well. I dare say Chychrun's shot was Chuckyesque

 

[MIGs Dog]

All that gym work paying off

 

[SniperHF]

Tyson said Dave Tippett, DRINK!
