GDT: Game 61: Coyotes @ Canucks - 8PM - FSAZ - A Toast to Oest

This is fun. Imagine if Keller would take his head out of his ass here soon as we continue to get healthy.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Okay....


And if that wasn't enough......

It is not fair to the goalie that he has to play on ice. I vote for a rule change.

 

[Jakey53]

Good to see Machine Gun Weal centering our best offensive player.

What did Chucky do to deserve him. Chucky has taken the team on his shoulders, and it doesn't seem to matter who he plays.

 

[Jakey53]

• Lose offensive zone faceoff
• OEL/Goligoski nonchalantly skates back to pick it up behind his own net
• Skate to the redline, drop pass it to a forward for some reason
• Everybody else stops and waits at the blueline
• No option but to dump and chase

John MacLean Powerplay: Volume 1.

Almost every team is doing that, don't know why.

 

[Name Nameless]

Good 2-points where most other results were bad. Staying in the race.

I agree Cousins was disappointing. He played like a 1 mill 4th-liner. Yeah, I know, he has kind of spoiled me a bit by being more of an impact player.

Panik wasn't seen much, but if he just had had the flu, he probably needs to gain his strength a little. A couple of good should-have-been-assists passes from him though, not his fault nothing came of it.

OEL really needs to tighten his chin-strap. Very annoying how his helmets flies off everytime somebody bumps him. As a Swede, he should worry about his safety a bit more. The helmet won't do him any good if it flies off before he hits the ice when he gets bumped into the ice.

Looking forward to Keller coming back from his extra-terrestrial vacation. The Keller-bot the alien kidnappers put in place for him, is rather boring.


And nice to see Galchenyuk finally becoming a point and goal-producing machine. Good timing. Very good timing.

 

[Jakey53]

I ****ing love Galchenyuk. I think he's only 5 points off the team lead now.

Our best forward by a country mile.

My favorite part is when Hino is giving off the belt, Gally thinks he's gonna get a nice handshake type deal but Hino goes for the hug. Been there! haha

 

[Heldig]

Fun game to watch...great result. This team of misfits and call ups have NO business competing for a playoff spot. Our top scorer has 38 points!!! But there they are. Probably means Chayka does NOT move out pending UFA's for picks. Hope it does not make him a buyer. Team does not have near enough depth to be trading away picks or prospects.

Never a bad idea to pair a struggling (offensively) forward with your best forward.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Almost every team is doing that, don't know why.

The idea is to load up at the blue line, creating multiple options to set up high.... we just flat out don't execute it well too much of the time.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

This made me laugh

 

[Tyler Durden]

Kuemper has been playing very well as of late. Defiantly should be seeing bulk of the next couple starts. 3 winnable games next week at home vs Florida, Vancouver, Detroit. Thoughts?

 

[Fyreman]

Just wanted to say how really proud I am of the 'Yotes in handling all the injuries and adversity and getting a road win in Vancouver!

On a side note- did ANYBODY see how many days the Canucks had off between their last game and when they played the Coyotes? Well I'll tell you, FOUR, yes FOUR! How does that happen this late in the year?? Geez...

I mean we don’t play again until Sunday so

Two off, NOT four...

My feeling is that there is enough in the system in Tucson on the back end and on the big club with our forwards like Fischer to make maybe one impactful trade. Moving a guy like Smereck, P.O. Joseph, and/or Gross along with Fischer and a pick or two might get us something.

Not that I want that to happen. I'd rather see both Tucson and the Coyotes in the playoffs, and the sooner we can get Jordan Gross up to the big club and shore up our RD depth the better, IMO.

I count 301 games lost.

43 Demers
36 Grabner
22 Chychrun
22 Schmaltz
16 Richardson
10 Hinostroza

8 Connauton
8 Kuemper
7 Capobianco
6 Goligoski
3 Panik
2 Kempe
1 Archibald
1 Ekman-Larsson

I wish Strome was given that opportunity.

 

[Jakey53]

Then why do it. A bit of imagination from the coaches would be nice.

 

[Prarievarg]

I wish Strome was given that opportunity.

It's obviously more important to squeeze any non-existing offense from Weal than it was to utilize what we all knew Strome had.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

I wish Strome was given that opportunity.

There is nothing we can do about that now.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Then why do it. A bit of imagination from the coaches would be nice.

Sure man, every team in the league does it because it provides multiple options, it works for us on the off occasion we execute, but hey.... why not limit our opportunities?

Love Hammer and his always censored reactions entering the locker room!

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I hope that the Galchenyuk goal is a taste of things to come should we make the playoffs. Playoffs? Playoffs?
