GDT: Game 49: Islanders @ Coyotes - FSAZ+ - 7PM

[SniperHF]

Interesting to see the difference in OT strategy. Coyotes very deliberate and measured, Isles still possession oriented but pushing the pace and not letting the Coyotes slow it down.

I have absolutely no idea how they didn't score there.

OMG Rieder and Stepan get a 2 on 1 and the result is exceptionally predictable , all the 's

Absolutely deserved this one. Hell of a finish.

The annual "start winning games when it is 2 months too late to make the playoffs" has started it a few games ago it seems.

Hell of a pass by Fisher

Cousins is starting to remind me of Martinook a few weeks ago. Like he finally learned what Tocchet is trying to do.

Sabres win too, so we were only out of last place for about 4 minutes

 

[Muppet]

3 point night for Nick Cousins, that is both hilarious and terrifying.

 

[Mosby]

Sticky Nicky

I don't care where those clutch goals come from, at least these guys seem to really give a shit.

 

[Summer Rose]

With Buffalo winning in OT, we drop back to 31st place on tiebreakers. We were in 30th place for 4 minutes!

That was fun. They can still flip my frown sometimes

Seems like the entire team just “gets it” now. It’s nice to see.

I am wondering if the D unit finally being together is starting to pay off. OEL/Hammer/Goose/Chych/Demers/Schenn should be pretty solid if they play well and play together. We outshot the Isles and Blues, but held them, more importantly, to not many shots on goal. I hope it continues. Limiting shots and chances are the key for us.

Raanta's mistakes were the 2 goals. He should have froze the puck on one of them. I also think he plays too far out of his net. It cuts down an angle but he couldn't get back to the post in time. In fairness he also made some great saves, still plenty to clean up including his recent short side/glove side goals.

Nuh, Auckland sucks. I'll be there on Friday too

Hey, I like Australia, mate. Just messing. A New Zealander was in my residency class. She hated being mistaken for an Aussie and also thought that naming that funny fruit a Kiwi was ridiculous.

OEL has tightened up his game. Keller and Domi both seem DOA on the ice. Our 3rd and 4th lines have become formidable. Should our top 6 round out this should be a very high scoring team next year.

Regarding those posts bellyaching about meaningless wins hurting our lottery chances, that's a horseshit reason to lose. Before we can become a playoff contender year in and year out, we need to be a team which climbs up the standings one year and contends the next.
