GDT: Game 62: Coyotes @ Sabres - 5PM - FSAZ+

[PerpetualTankYear]

That would be fun but who would give all those vets another chance to audition for jobs and win meaningless games if we didn't have Tipp? Without him we might have to eventually pay one of those generational talents too. Who wants that headache.

So what you're saying is that full roster turnover every 5 years isn't the key to success?

It's like your computer. If it's not working you have to unplug it and start over. We are loading, please wait...

We hit 10 shots!!!!!!

 

[PerpetualTankYear]

It's a small miracle we didn't get scored on there.

We can build momentum off of that.

This kinda applies to most things the Coyotes do though.

OK let's see if it is the good, one bad period yotes, or two bad and one good.

 

[SniperHF]

They could totally surprise me and pull this one out for sure. They did it last game vs these guys. It will have to be another Rieder type effort or something though.

Thread idea:

Which post deadline team was worse, 2015 or 2017?

Gonna be silly if the Yotes come back and win this.

That 2015 team will be very hard to top. Boedker and Hanzal were our best forwards that year and both were shut down post deadline from injuries.

2015 is miles worse IMO.

 

[Grimes]

Are OEL and Goose paired together?

revisionist history

No, it's not. I remember *****ing about exactly that, literally as it happened.

Holy hell. I remember this lineup being posted in another GDT, but it's just as shocking to see again.

Look at that blueline!

I'd probably come down on '15 being worse but probably not by miles.

For consideration:
OEL wasn't sleepwalking
Doan was actually a top 6 player
Stone then was probably better than anyone we have on the right ATM
Dahlbeck was actually good for those few months


Pretty hard to argue against the BJ Crombeen's of the world though

 

[Grimes]

I remember it too. I just double checked the standings that year too. Buffalo only had 2 less points. Not sure where ROW would have placed it and if those Moss goals were against Buffalo, but I remember he showed up when we needed him to get his gloves stuck in the penalty box more often.

Heres a Moss goal in our OT win against Buffalo in May 2015 - https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/ari-...me=2014021102,game_state=final,game_tab=stats

And here is Moss's two goal night in an OT win against Detroit the night before that Buffalo game - https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/ari-...me=2014021094,game_state=final,game_tab=stats

Probably due to KConn being out the rest of the game. Pairs are probably being jumbled to keep them fresh.

And because of those goals, after being awful all season, we now are the proud owners of Dylan Strome instead of Jack Eichel.

Thanks, Dave.

Yep, obviously anyone could have had those goals, but to see Moss get three goals in two games (one being a must lose) was pretty hilarious/absolutely depressing.
