GDT: Game 41: Devils @ Coyotes - 7 PM - FSAZ+ - Devil Dog Edition

[SniperHF]

Kuemper made the save. Still drifted a little but the rebound was manageable.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Ayyy, Fish becomes the second Coyote to hit double figures in the goal column

On pace for 20

 

[SniperHF]

Oh look who was on the ice again roflcopter

No lead padding tonight (or ever)

 

[Summer Rose]

Pathetic effort by all 6 Coyotes on the ice.

 

[Muppet]

Is that Mike Smith's 5-hole in net?

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Is that Mike Smith's 5-hole in net?

That was a 10 hole.

 

[Summer Rose]

That was a 5 billion hole.

Yes.

 

[Lyotes]

That goal was weak defense by goligoski and even weaker goaltending.

 

[Muppet]

Merkley continues scoring for Tucson. Give it a couple weeks and he'll be getting a taste of losing with the Yotes. Probably on the 4th line, too.

 

[TheLegend]

Pickard's working on a shutout....

Mind you he's only had to make three saves so far..... but it's baby steps.

(shots were 19-3 in the first )

 

[BenedictGomez]

Your Coyotes may be the first team I've seen in my life that appears to play better Shorthanded than it does Even-Strength.

It's absolutely perplexing.

It's absolutely perplexing.

If we had Grabner back, our PK is our best scoring threat. Earlier in the season we joked that our offensive strategy should be to take penalties on purpose.

 

[Muppet]

With Stepan back on top line C duties, you can really see the speed of the game is getting far beyond his capabilities. Problem is, he hasn't exactly been contributing with secondary scoring, either. Sure would be nice if Schmaltzy and Dvo were healthy, Stepan would be fine as 3C.

 

[SniperHF]

With Stepan back on top line C duties,

[morpheus voice]What if I told you[/morpheus voice] that Stepan was the 1C even when Schmaltz was healthy

 

[SniperHF]

BTW the kid caster is substantially less annoying now that it's just an intermission interview and not joining the booth. Someone on the production staff must have realized how damn horrible that was so kudos.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Earlier in the season we joked that our offensive strategy should be to take penalties on purpose.

The Coyotes & Devils have the #1 & #3 best PKs in the entire NHL. So it's not shocking no PP goals have been scored tonight.

What is odd is that Phoenix actually looks solid offensively when killing penalties, maybe even more dangerous than ES, which makes no sense.

NJ PP 0 for 3
AZ PP 0 for 2

 

[Jagged Ice]

If we had Grabner back, our PK is our best scoring threat.

Grabner still #1 in shorthanded goals.

 

[SniperHF]

Smell dem salts and give an extra to Keller please.

 

[SniperHF]

Little dirty by OEl there.

 

[Murf]

Nah, completely accidental.

 

[Muppet]

Little dirty by OEl there.

Sneaky chippy

 

[SniperHF]

Are we trying to give up every strange goal imaginable?

 

[TheLegend]

Nice bounce in front of our empty goal.

 

[Murf]

NJ seems to be trying to match our softness. This cannot be allowed. Bench Lyubushkin.

 

[SniperHF]

Galchenyuk is at least looking like a player again. Next year with a full camp hopefully he'll be better. Course then we'd have to pay him too.
