GDT: Game 53: Knights at Hurricanes | 4:30 PM PST | AT&T SportsNet

[CupInSIX]

Need to more better hockey now IMO

Adam Kutner powerplay... Adam Kutner Shot Tracker... no wonder we suck.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Picked up where we left off before the break, I guess.

 

[HanSolo]

I don't like hockey anymore.

[hangman005]

We are far far far far too weak on the puck... I miss Perron

 

[HanSolo]

The Knights just don't look remotely like a team trying to get back in this game.

Bag skate them... and then they can walk to the next game.

 

[hangman005]

I feel we have a 0% shooting percentage from point blank.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Would behoove us to put one in on this PP.

 

[HanSolo]

Just get the puck to Shea

 

[hangman005]

A power play.... time to do something with it.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Evening folks. Feels like months since I've posted in a GDT. Just got back from the golf course.

Let's get one here on the PP!

 

[hangman005]

God we are inept.... one and done and done.

 

[HanSolo]

We look bad, fam.

 

[hangman005]

This garbage is tiresome... really really tiresome. Can't handle the puck, can't pass the puck, can't hold the puck, can't shoot the puck.

 

[HanSolo]

Notice how every single team we face runs a collapse defense on us? I truly don't understand how we're well past the halfway point and Gallant hasn't adjusted to it.

 

[Nevada Jones]

I see the Flames lost. Missed opportunity. Although I realize ain't no way we gonna catch them anyway.

I'm not watching, but if you can't pass and can't score from the blue line how can you get teams to stop collapsing to the net?

They have 2 goals from the point this game. They've had chances. Mrazek has just predictably outplayed Lagace who gave up 2 extremely soft goals. I chalk this one up to a schedule loss due to the B2B. I certainly wouldn't mind a cheap goalie trade in the next couple weeks. I have zero confidence in any goalie not named Fleury.

Active skating around the perimeter with forwards methodically crashing through the defense to disrupt their positioning. The boys respond to collapses by planting their feet and hoping their passing game will break the collapse but it never does. The opposing defense doesn't have to move, they just have to wait for an errant pass or badly aimed shot. It's why we have so many SOG every game but such a low shooting percentage. Our offense is way too predictable.

 

[hangman005]

Also noticing that no one seems to know where anyone is on the ice. Over and over again I watch us feed the puck to where we have no players, and also no players in a position to retrieve it, but completely ignore the wide open option, that allows us to keep possession.

This was a scheduled loss as soon as Gallant announced that Lagace was in net.

Some of the blame rests on him for putting in a ahl goalie for the first game off a 9 day break.

 

[hangman005]

This was a scheduled loss as soon as Gallant announced that Lagace was in net.

This game was very winnable even with Lagace.... but we aren't going to win if we can't score more than 2 goals. Start of the season all over again.

 

[hangman005]

Also.... this is how you play with a lead!!!!
