GDT: Game 48 | Senators @ Canucks | Part Deux | Saturday April 24nd, 10PM | CBC, SN

Josh Brown had an assist tonight. He's more likely to create offense.

Its a lot easier giving it to someone to shoot in the net than to shoot it in the net yourself though lol. A lot harder to score a goal than get an assist.

J Bro actually DOES have a hard shot. IIRC. The problem is you can time his release with a calendar.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Yeah for real though get rid of Dzingel. Please don't give him a contract PD.

Tonights game consisted of:

Stu - Looking like a boy amongst men
Norris - Couldn't hit the net multiple exits due to shot wrapping around boards
Paul - First time I've seen him be consistently beat (he did try) obviously injury hampered him
Brady - Off night, had no influence
Connor - Playing with a bunch of confidence really like his game right now
White - Seems like he is trying to force it really bad
Brann - I think they are trying to make him play with a mean streak when he doesn't have the puck but it's not natural to him
Bath - Didn't do too much but had had some nice looks and hits
Pinto - Confident player nice rushes
Hog - Was meant to be in the stands, ends up playing. Thought he did made some good saves and also let in a couple of softies.
Dizzy - Terrible! Absolutely terrible invisible for the whole night and took way to long to get the shot off on his golden chance on the PP

Powerplay: Was to blame for the loss, if you can't get it done or even look close to scoring so you can build confidence off the PP then you deserve to lose with amount of powerplays and even a penalty shot.

I hope we get to see it one day!

Let's be honest, neither of them were going to score a goal. One of them was more likely (marginally) to set up a scoring chance... And it wasn't Tierney lol.

One thing I’ve noticed is that Chabot rarely passes to Zaitsev in the offensive zone and goes to get lengths to just shoot it along the boards on the left. In saying that I don’t blame him because Zaitsev is horrid at creating shots or chances but I think it goes to show Chabot needs a much better partner that can help move the puck around in the OZ.

I don't get why teams play players that are clearly hurt. There's no way they are more effective than whoever their replacement at 100% would be.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Honestly though, this wasn't a bad road loss at all. People are being way too nit-picky.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

I hope we get to see it one day!

Ah ah ah. Hope we get to see it one WEEK, you mean.

Did this coaching staff reaaaallly think gudbrannson was better than Brown?

 

[SpezDispenser]

That second unit just really doesn’t have enough skill, too many similar skillsets too.

It's missing a lot. No need for White out there, let's have a look at Pinto and Formenton in for Dzingel (who has fallen off a lot). Anyone would be better than that back hole.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Imagine playing your best center from camp at goalie

 

[SpezDispenser]

Probably don’t want him worrying about too much, just focus on playing good hockey. He will be there next year.

It was a good effort from most including Hogberg. 3 on 2 was defended poorly and as much as I don’t like how he opens up on screened shots you can’t blame him when the defensemen ends up right on top of him.

I'd go ahead and trot him out. You've deployed him in pk situations, important times on the ice, let him go for unit 2 of the pp

 

[SensFactor]

Well hope we can beat these guys twice in Ottawa. Night

 

[CornerStone61]

Imagine playing your best center from camp at goalie

Funny enough he'd probably have a shot at highest save percentage amongst our goalies

 

[Bileur]

Imagine playing your best center from camp at goalie

I don’t remember DJ’s exact quotes from camp. Are we sure he was looking great at Center and not at goalie?

 

[Korpse]

I'd go ahead and trot him out. You've deployed him in pk situations, important times on the ice, let him go for unit 2 of the pp

I don’t disagree just what I think the rationale is. He will be there eventually his shot is too good not to be.

 

[StoicSensFan]

If only we had a powerplay specialist waiting in the wings.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Imagine playing your best center from camp at goalie

We just know he had the greatest camp of all time, we don't know what position he played at camp.

 

[Deku]

As much as it would have sucked to see all our goalies get injured, this would have been f***ing hilarious

 

[Ouroboros]

Give Anisimov the start on Monday.
