GDT: Game 73: Coyotes @ Sabres - 4 PM - FSAZ

[ParisSaintGermain]

Strome is playing like he belongs there- full, noticeable and influential effort on both side of the puck.

Another great pass from him there

 

[SR]

Schenn got smoked.

Beauty of a pass by Strome. I like what I've seen so far.

 

[rt]

I'll probably record the replay and just watch only Strome's shifts (those that aren't cut out due to "time constraint" edits).

 

[che]

All these stupid offensive zone penalties...

 

[rt]

Man. So many penalties. Strome's ice time is going to suffer.

 

[SR]

Describe please!

I am assuming you're still at work, eh?

Strome caught a loose puck on the near boards and made a solid back hand pass being pressured to I think Dvorak... that put him in on a tight break away.

 

[mouser]

Might as well install a revolving door on the penalty box.

Yeah I’m doing a contract job tonight after my day job
Appreciate everyone’s insight

Puck bounced off the boards after Schenn got hit. Strome was the first to it and there was only one defender back with Perlini all the way on the other side of the boards for a chance of a 2 on 1. Strome got the puck on his backhand and in one motion without controlling the puck and wasting time or skating it up forcing Perlini to slow down, passed it immediately in stride on his backhand to Perlini so Perlini didn't have to break stride and put it right on his tape.

Perlini should have scored.

 

[Grimes]

Strome could easily have 2 goals and an assist. Very impressed

 

[SniperHF]

Hope Reinhart isn't hurt, he's just recently put it all together it seems.

EDIT:
I don't think that's a slash or penalty. Goligoski was ahead of Reinhart and moved his stick toward the puck looking to move . Reinhart came from behind and put his stick in between Goligoski's and the puck which changed the direction on Goligoski's stick causing the contact with Reinhart. Slo mo it looks worse but in real time that's like .3 seconds so I don't know how Goligoski could anticipate his stick would change direction that fast.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Reinhart was back on the bench at the end of the period, so he seems ok

 

[DoanStopBelievin]

Sure is nice seeing Strome out there with skilled guys. Perlini should have netted that last one, but I’d much rather the puck end up on his stick than Kempe’s

Strome Thoughts:

1. The number one change right now is he's holding the puck longer. Some of this I think was on Tocchet, earlier in the season the Coyotes had this advance the puck at all costs mentality even if there was no one to advance it to. Now they are more deliberate and it just works better in general.

2. He's actually skating by and around defenders. Seems like this is partially due to it being a matchup of bottom feeders, I don't think he'd be able to pull this much against the Wild from Saturday. If he's still here we'll see how it goes against a better team. Florida is a middle of the pack team in terms of goals given up so that might be a better look.

3. I don't think he scores that kind of heads up bank shot goal before. He was too overwhelmed or being run over, getting his pocked picked before he made his next move after getting the puck.

4. He's spending a lot more time below the faceoff dots and behind the net, working the opposition instead of playing a 100% anticipation game.

Schenn got smoked..

Been racked twice now by Jordin Nolan. Must be an old Kings reunion.

Those two may go at it before the end of this one.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Buffalo is where Boynton bit a cop so drinking could be a popular option.

He bit a cop? Jesus.

 

[SniperHF]

Ya know, I keep worrying about what happens when the top line cools off but maybe they just won't cool off.

He bit a cop? Jesus.

lol. Missed that minor detail of the story eh?
Ex-NHLer Boynton arrested, allegedly bites cop - Sportsnet.ca

 

[SR]

This team should be in a playoff spot. f*** Domingue and the first quarter of the season. I have no clue what clicked but this team is superior to that of its 2017 opening campaign. If they play like this at seasons start, were at least in a wild card spot, at least.

Curious to see what Chyka adds this summer. We win the Dahlin sweep stakes and upgrade a top 6, preferably top 3 forward, things can happen, the river should turn white.

 

[che]

It's a good time to be alive.

 

[che]

wasn't that an elbow on Stepan?

 

[SR]

What a puss Risto is. Hes about a foot taller than Domi and wouldnt oblige.

 

[_Del_]

He bit a cop? Jesus.

To be fair, he saw a lot of things in that job that would drive a man to drink "Bit a Cop"-drunk.

 

[SniperHF]

Buffalo trying to tie this pulling the goalie down 2 with 3 minutes left.

Didn't see that one coming TBH.

 

[SniperHF]

Archibald tried to make it interesting.....

EDIT: Domi the empty net killer strikes again

 

[SR]

Dress like a seat night in Buffalo.
