GDT: Game 38: Coyotes @ Canucks - This one is on tee-vee - 8PM

[Doohickie]

Vermette looks like he's still hurt. He's so slow

Yeah, they said "Vermette chasing after it" and I was like...

 

[clunk]

I love you, Yotes.

 

[Lyotes]

We weren't down.

Usually you would hear, " Vancouver trying to make this a photo finish".

 

[SniperHF]

I love you, Yotes.

I'm sure you feel this way now, but once Edmonton wins the lottery yet again you'll understand. Suckers game.

Usually you would hear, " Vancouver trying to make this a photo finish".

No no. Only the coyotes can execute a proper photo finish. Otherwise, it's an absolute defensive lock-down, grinding, no respect for the body win. With Dave Tippet's coaching prowess it's guaranteed.

 

[0point1]

Dough-ming with a .946 save percentage.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I'm very impressed with the growth in Domingue's game over the past few games. At first he was a rebound dispenser. Now he controls the rebounds very well. He's learning on the job, and learning fast.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I didn't think Tikhonov had a particularly good game tonight, but that might just be because I saw what the cameras wanted me to see. It seems that he needs an offseason in the weight room. He makes the right decisions but gets physically handled way too often.

Too bad he's on the first flight back when Smith gets cleared to play

Yeah pretty impressive. Still need to work on some stuff like when to leave the net and where to pass it when he has the puck.

I'd agree. But I think we could all agree that he isn't big enough for the fourth line, but isn't good enough for the top two lines. And no way I split up the Nook - Rich - Doan line. Absolutely no way.

He's had a rough 3 game stretch or so. Now he's playing with Chip and Gordon so climbing back into the top 9 might be tough.

I don't think so. DT likes winning above all else. He is going to keep running with Dom. I'm curious how Smith will react to this.

I just want one of the top 4 and I would be able to die in peace.

Call up Minnesota, act like DM and trade Domingue away for a third.

 

[Muppet]

I don't think so. DT likes winning above all else. He is going to keep running with Dom. I'm curious how Smith will react to this.

Hopefully he throws his toys and demands a trade

 

[Summer Rose]

Good win. I still think we miss the playoffs even in such a terrible Pacific division, but I like the way the team is coming along with the young players.

It'll come full circle with the return of Mike Smith to help us get a better draft pick.

 

[Doohickie]

Yep. I'll drink to that. The Sabres lost the last two lotteries.

Dough-ming with a .946 save percentage.

I have to say his play has been surprising. He hasn't exactly been a revelation at any point in the minors.

He needs more discipline in puck handling. He got lucky but he could have easily given up a goal or two by turning the puck over.

Unfortunately Springfield is a dumpster fire. Before that we had a lot of Goalie competition down there in Portland.

 

[0point1]

Some report asked Tippett "How does it feel to have at least one win against every team in the Pacific?" Except that's not true... we haven't play the Sharks yet.

 

[Grimes]

Good win. I still think we miss the playoffs even in such a terrible Pacific division, but I like the way the team is coming along with the young players.

Agreed. Pacific is tight and the Ducks and Flames are playing better. The nice thing is it may feel like a very competitive season yet we could still finish in the bottom 5-10.

 

[cobra427]

Nice win for our second place Coyotes...Our Goalie was just a little better then theirs, so we won.

Maybe Pavelski is injured when we play them. He loves to kill us.
