GDT: Game 40: 12/28/17 Toronto Matthews @ Arizona Coyotes - 7pm - FSAZ

[moosemeister]

The Anthony Duclair Appreciation GDT

Duke, you were always fun to watch but coaching staffs seem to hate you. We don't know why, you seem like a likeable guy. That said, we will watch yet another young NHL player traded away.

In 2018, will the Coyotes break the curse of having terrible luck?

When your biggest offseason acquisition misses most of the season

Your mom couldn't have given birth three days earlier?

That moment every Coyotes fan went weed whacker guys on their TV

When one of the baddest dudes to ever play for the team gets his career ruined by Jordan Nolan

When your top line center ends up on a milk carton

To the hockey gods, give us a break. Pls​

Haha I would love to have that break! Seeing that Oiler's logo pop up in that draft lottery was one of the worst let downs.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Great job!!

Only in Arizona do you pay Mike Ribiero more money in 2017-2018 than your 2 current goal scorers, combined.

 

[RemoAZ]

Guess I should have put this here. We can move Domi back to wing. Our prayers for a #1 center have been answered.

 

[moosemeister]

My guess is Duke is getting traded much sooner than we think.

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Who's playing goalie for Toronto right now? Doesn't matter.. Whoever it is will be on the IR after the game thanks to star Coyote forward Kempe and his impressive strategy of running right into the goalie at random times. Leads the league, I've heard.

Ps, is it surprising to anyone that against Colorado the Yotes played a decent game with Richardson and Rinaldo not playing? I can't say I am super surprised. Granted it's just one game and that means nothing. Also it was against another bad team so... But something to keep an eye on going forward perhaps.

 

[TheLegend]

Per Morgan....

Tocchet said Kempe will be the extra forward. Looks like the Duke Audition Tour continues.


Nice job moose.

I'm tempted to play "What might of been" by Little Texas, but I don't know if there's any country music fans outside of myself...

 

[Bondurant]

American Hockey Jesus returns home but, alas, I'm stuck at work until 7 pm. In Scottsdale. Bummer. Go easy on the boys, AHJ. Remember your childhood favorite team.

 

[Muppet]

God damn, as if that photo of Matthews in the Coyotes gear didn't make me sad enough, you hit me with the Klesla pic. I f***ing loved Rusty Klesla.

Rieder on the first line, Archibald on third and Perlini on fourth. What the hell is going on.

Tanking. That's the only logical reason I can think.

 

[TheLegend]

Update.....



The line up I posted earlier came off Craig’s pre game article.. Can imagine the responses he got.

 

[Mosby]

Let's trade Duclair for a center and end this Domi at center experiment.

 

[RemoAZ]

Orrrrrrr play that Strome kid.

 

[Plub]

Matthews is going to stomp all over us tonight..... just push that dagger a little bit deeper.

[Summer Rose]

Well, I've decided I'd rather watch this than USA-Slovakia. Don't disappoint me, Yotes (even though I know you will).

 

[SniperHF]

I think there's a good chance our broadcast will talk more about Matthews than theirs.

WJC seems less interesting than usual this year.

Russia is bad this year, and the USA-Canada game that's usually really interesting is being spoiled by scheduling. USA is playing a night game tonight and day game tomorrow, whereas Canada had the day off today. What the hell?

 

[SniperHF]

"That's what the Coyotes want to do, Chip and Chase"
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Not a good start, Coyotes can barely get a change in let alone a forecheck.

Well now Duke makes a move and gained the zone. Trade him obviously.

 

[Plub]

Nook missed a one-foot pass to OEL for a one timer. I don't think I'm exaggerating the distance either. It was roughly one f***en foot and he messed it up.
