GDT: Game 46: Sharks @ Coyotes - 7PM - FSAZ+

[Summer Rose]

7 Million this season in real dollars with his bonus.

Were the conditions of his bonus that he score in a shootout?

 

[Murf]

I wonder, has any team had more OTL's than W's? We might be on the cusp of a record setting season.

 

[Mosby]

Sucks that Keller fumbled his shootout attempt.

I would have liked to see Domi get a go in the shootout. He had a good game for a change.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Gee that was a surprise. We really throttled a tired Sharks team in the 2nd and 3rd periods but, like usual, couldn't see ourselves the way to win. I really think that the team is just not responding to Tocchet.

This is how we fell this season:

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Gut feeling is that we are going to win this one decisively. Raanta, OEL, Hammer and Domi bringing the heat.

(disclaimer: I might delete this post after the game)

Decisively, huh? 3-2 Coyotes in OT?

TIME TO DELETE!

AZviaNJ with a close call.

 

[Ebb]

play of the game (according to Nash--in my imagined world)...

Martinook going to the bench to get a new stick when his broke in the first pperiod. Best PLay EVER!

Disappointing loss, but not a surprising one

Pretty sure that in the shootout the guys are still looking to pass the puck to someone.

I don't even think 2-on-1 in shootouts would work to our advantage, but it's worth considering

They are continuing to work the boards as requested by the staff

I was about to be infuriated when Nook fell at the end of the 3rd and it looked like we might lose. Hammer looked up at the clock, looked like he was playing for OT, and then passed to Nook who then had his problems/fall and I honestly couldn't take a loss like that. Playing for OT and then losing it with less than 17 seconds remaining for the team in last place... Just couldn't take that. Luckily, the Yotes didn't blow it there.

But it's sad to say that the second OT was done, I had a bad feeling about the shootout. Imo, Raanta isn't a fanstastic shootout goalie. We haven't got to see a lot of him in it, but I get the feeling it is not his strength. Speaking of, I'm already beyond sick of seeing Stepan take SO attempts. He even manages to look slow when nobody else is on the ice with him, how's that possible? Strong OT team, but weak shootout team imo.

We saw a lot of the same ole same ole during the game too. Keller sets a player up with a beautiful chance, they take FOREVER to shoot it, and it misses or it's saved because the goalie had time to get over, have a massage, and drink a cup of tea before making the save. Panik also was guilty of pulling that take too long to "one time" the puck maneuver along with Domi. Just feels like we have a bunch of players on the team that can't finish.

This is probably the worst I've felt about a season in a while. I mean that specifically about the product on the ice and the future of said product.

An interesting stat:

Coyote record in 1 goal games: 7-6-8
Coyote record in games decided by 2 or more goals: 3-22-0

That may not bode well for 2018-2019.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

What doesn't bode well is the apparent lack of finish. Last night Panik & Domi both had supreme opportunities and blew them badly.

 

[Mosby]

I wonder how many of those 2+ goal games included an empty net goal?

It's like OEL's plus/minus. He's been on the ice for more than 10 empty netters I think.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Imo, Raanta isn't a fanstastic shootout goalie.

Yikes, I wish I hadn't been motivated to look this up.

In the history of shootouts, among goalies with 30+ attempts, of a total of 108 goalies...

Raanta is #108. .500 Sv%

EDIT: I looked closer.
Sean Burke is #107
Brian Boucher is #102
Jason LaBarbera is #98
Al Montoya is #99
Ilya Bryzgalov is #86
Mike Smith is #81

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Aucoin vs Raanta ---> Raanta's shootout percentage would go to zero.

Haha, yea it certainly isn't his strong suite...dead last :O. Which is an interesting thing to me. What makes one goalie great at shootouts vs not? Now I am motivated to study that list a bit! It's a good thing this team seems to do well in OT because it doesn't look like they can realllly rely on the SO going their way.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

We haven't scored a shootout goal in the last 3 shootouts. Only in the one where we beat Carolina. We had 2 then.

Interesting to think about that if we had a + shootout goalie all those years Vrbata was torching the opposition we might have ended up with a few extra points. Could have made the difference in the lockout shortened season and maybe the one after.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

I'm puzzled as to why all of our shooters come in slow on the shoot out. Works for a Patrick Kane, but we Doan have any Patrick Kane's. Might just be me, but I like to see 'em come in fast and think it gives the shooter an advantage.

I agree. Maybe something to do with "sticky".

OR at least change up the speeds to throw the goalie off! Come in fast and then slow down or idk. Whatever they are doing right now isn't working. To be fair, though, Perlini absolutely fooled Dell but just whiffed the puck waaaay over the net. SO he can do that move again, just needs to finish it properly.
