GDT: Game #39: Bruins vs Coyotes - 7:00pm (AZ) - Scripps - Counting All My Fingers Edition

Maccelli Kerfoot and Crouse

Love Kerfoot. Such an under rated player.

I can’t wait for like two years from now when Boston is totally in the shithouse because their prospect pool is awful.

Have heard that for years, and yet they are always right up near the top of the league. Great organization.

 

[Jakey53]

Just got home. Cooley's physicality at a young age is really impressive. God I wish he was scoring more.

That was one of my concerns, but he seems to be handling it just fine. He is getting better and better as he adjusts to the NHL game.

 

[Jakey53]

Another goal Ingram watched it go by him

Momentum killer

You should not post until the game is over. You have put your foot in your mouth at least six time already.

Durzi hasnt been good

He was not good defensively. I don't think we got him for his defensive play.

 

[Jakey53]

well, anyone want to pontificate on the Keller/McBain/Schmaltz line?

also...Guenther looks like he belongs, which is great to see. I'm not sure how I'm going to feel when we send him back.

So so. I really like Kerfoot there, but I do like the line changes. Guenther has been very good. He is very fast, and I think he has the confidence and play to stay up.

 

[Jakey53]

Schm0ltz!!!

send those bruin fans cryin to momma !

Oh, so now you are happy.

 

[Jakey53]

He's just not a NHL level player anymore. It happens, wish him well in his retirement The concerning thing is though, they are treating him like their highest paid dman instead of the healthy scratch he should be. How he could've been starting the overtime much less getting multiple shifts is nuts.

About 4 of 'em.

I think Dumba has been the biggest bust when you factor in expectations. We knew going into the season our D would be our weak point, but man, some games it's scary.

 

[Jakey53]

Cooley and Guenther looked great. Please no more Dumba in OT. Schmaltz is as streaky as they come.

Both looked cool as a cucumber. Guenther has adjusted to the NHL game, and didn't look out of place, at all.

He just can't skate and if he's not physical he's useless out there. His idea of a breakout pass is a chip off the glass. He should be getting scratched or at the very least 3rd pairing guy playing limited minutes. AT can't be using him like a solid top 4 guy.

 

[Jakey53]

We caught a team on a back to back, that helped but I thought we played well overall. Still, too many mistakes, our goalie bailed us out a few times. Gunts might stick now, he seems ok on D and without the puck to me, obviously he has some points in just a few games. Lets see how the next 3-5 games go for him.

Dumba has lost a step but I think Bear needs to limit his use like in OT when foot speed is more important. I think he is more of a third pairing D now but we are asking him to take second and first pair minutes sometimes. Dermit is a border line NHL D.

I think BA signed Dumba for a first pairing, but not only has he lost a step, his hockey IQ seems low. So many bad penalties. Such an up and down player. Our D just sucks, period. Stecher is playing very good.

Go yotes!

This will be fun. It's not easy, losing to the Coyotes

You don't understand how bad Mullett Arena is until you go there

I wound up flying out Tuesday morning as I was told the current TV setup in Tempe is a mess. A mess? It was like doing a college game in Orono, ME. The truck is 2000 feet from the arena in an abandoned baseball park. The visiting team runs the production. The Coyotes TV network is bare bones...

I don’t know how it works for an emergency recall but Guenther needs to stay up.

 

[MIGs Dog]

NHL goaltenders do the splits multiple times daily and are extremely limber, yet they still pull groin muscles. What's the lesson? Humans just ain't meant to move that way.

Great game. Let's hear it for small skill players.

 

[Kaizen]

How is that not a pick by Keller when Schmaltz scores the winner? Sure looked like interference to me,

If the Bruins was working hard to get through that spot then it could've been called a penalty but the Bruins was just kinda gliding anyways.

I could see it. Keller even changes direction to get in his path. However, perhaps the ref didn't think it was consequential to the play.

Was at last night's game and I saw a couple of interesting things aside from the usual. Boston player like to antagonize opposing players, with little touches with their sticks after the whistle, little shoves, etc. By and large the refs let them get away with it.

Sean Durzi threw a reverse shoulder injuring Boston center Poitras when Poitras tried to finish off Durzi against the boards. Served Poitras right.

Boston trainers were on the ice after the game looking for Ulrich's testicles after a horrific non contact groin injury as Ulrich went into a butterfly.

Guenther is earning his keep. I wouldn't want to antagonize him further by sending him back to Tucson. He may bolt the team first chance if we do this to him again.

Wow, what a great game to make it to!
Did any Yotes fan antagonize any Bruin fans after the OT goal? I hope so!
Also, can you give us your thoughts on Dumba’s play?

 

[Grimes]

Yep, I've been impressed. I think he will have a Jack Hughes type trajectory. Get better each year but still only put up 50+ points, then a breakout in his third season.

Guenther looks like the guy we drafted. He looked very snake bitten last season ala Strome whenever we called him up. He was timid and didn't use his weapons properly. He was too scared to mess up. He hasn't showed that for a second this season. In fact he made a huge blunder in the WPG game and only got better. Fantastic sign because in the back of my head I was started to get worried about what we had in him.

This thread is fun. There are so many responses I want to try out but I don’t think I have rope left. I get suspended for the silliest things nowadays. Repeat offender. These doofuses have put so many on a tee for me. But I have both hands tied behind my back.

I haven't been suspended yet. Tell me what you want to say and I will be your proxy

I love how other fanbases act like the Coyotes are stealing money out of their wallets & sleeping with their wives. So personal lol.

Precisely. Why do they care so much? So funny.

 

[RollingCoyote]

To me it looks like Guenther is a lot quicker than he was before.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I will never understand why we’re so hated. Just a hockey team in Arizona. Hasn’t even been very good ever.

“My ECHL team in Florida has a bigger arena what a disgrace” alright you live in Florida why the f*** do you care about Arizona bro

Imma get banned so f***ing fast if I go in there
