GDT: Game 4 - 10/21 - Anaheim Ducks @ Arizona Coyotes , 1pm PT

[Deuce22]

He needs his own line. I want to see he and killorn together

He needs to be the distributor, not the shooter.

 

[Wheatens]

Would I be correct in my observation that Gudas seemed to stifle the first line's play? Thought a couple of times he just blindly tried clearing the puck when there was not a super heavy forecheck?
Carlsson looked great again wish he had tucked that backhand away early in the first when he made a move in towards the net.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Silf has been great today, guys

Glad he stayed in the lineup and not Jones

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Mintyukov had the most ice time with 23:58. That is good to see, he has earned the trust.

 

[KyleJRM]

What does zegras do well that he needs to be at center to do?

He might be our best player at the moment. He's been incredible.

Bold prediction. If minty lacombe and carlsson keep Showing they are truly here and ready. With the plethora of dmen we have. I think our Gm makes a move for whoever this seasons debrincat is. But he trades for said player in season. Going the other way might be a T Luneau. But for a true top 6 scoring winger. And then we might try and roll Carlsson zegras Mac down the middle. I’m not convinced at all zegras is staying at the wing. I think it’s tough talk to him to get his ass motivated to learn to play d

Strong disagree on breaking up the first line. They were cooking today

The thing is, I don't think they need all three to continue to cook and we need another line to provide offense.

 

[Goose of Reason]

 

[ScarTroy]

Yeah I’m not ready to break up that 1st line yet. If Zegras is going to get that many looks he needs to shoot for rebounds instead of trying to pick a low percentage corner.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Minty continues to show he’s on the fast track to being our #1 dman. Lacombe steady as always. Laboshhh very good. Johnston not the black hole many think he is. Top line just needs more time to start finishing plays resulting in goals

 

[Dryish]

This is going to be the tale of our season, I think. Our supporting cast just isn't good enough to produce much, and that's going to sink us in many games. Killorn will help, but not enough.

Strome, Henrique, Silf, Groulx, and right now even McTavish don't really cut it. And I have a hard time believing Lundeström will either.

Mac is searching for consistency. He's had two games that stunk and two games that were dominant.

He's also not at the point yet where he can overcome his linemates not having good games.

Mmhmm. We were a historically bad team that made some improvements. Chances are--we're still bad.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Through 4 games they look like an NHL team which is not something that could be said about this team in a while.

Which is a very good sign considering much of the team is very young.

That's totally fair, he's very much still developing. I fully expect him to find his stride, although I think I have more tempered expectations for his point production than most even in the future.

But the fact remains that, at least for now, he's saddled with dragging the half-animated corpse of Strome with him. That kills plays, unfortunately.

I want to see Regenda called up

 

[Leonardo87]

It’s games like this that make me hate hockey. Better team lost.

McTavish is in his 2nd year and has 3 points in 4 games, might be a little early to say he’s not cutting it.

 

[robbieboy3686]

What does zegras do well that he needs to be at center to do?

Show he’s committed to becoming a better defensive player. I think that’s truly the goal with him at wing

 

[slippingsloth]

Wants for next game.
Power play goal.

Fewer penalties against

 

[Static]

What does zegras do well that he needs to be at center to do?

It might not be anything more than psychological. He was more involved today, but he's typically been much more engaged at center than he is at wing.

 

[Terry Yake]

zegras just need to score and he'll be fine. slumps are a part of the game
