GDT: Game 78: Coyotes @ Kings - 7PM - FSAZ+

[Muppet]

Oh for f***s sake Max, you were having such a good game too.

 

[rt]

We’ve turned into a pretty hard out. Kings had to work their asses off for that win.

 

[SniperHF]

It's too bad they won't get more than one day off after that road trip.

 

[Muppet]

Gave L.A a good scare for most of that game. Didn't get the chocolates in the end, but you really can't fault the effort.

Keller's point streak is over smh what a bust send him to Toronto for Hyman and a 3rd

This is really neither here nor there, but Leafs fans endlessly bag on Hyman on here and I think he's pretty good
He ain't an all star or anything but I'd take him on the Yotes in a heartbeat.

Not for Keller of course

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Back end of back-to-back futility: 2-9-2 record for the season.

 

[Bandit34]

Kings were the better team. Nuff said.

Domi had a strong game. Connauton and Schenn have turned into totally different players down the stretch, in a good way.

Keller did not show up on the stat sheet but he was still a joy to watch.

 

[Jakey53]

Strome with back to back good shifts with a couple of scoring chances. I like it when Strome just goes straight to the net.

On that one shift he went towards the net then decided to go around. I would like to see him cut in front of the net, and if he can't score there could be a rebound.

 

[Jakey53]

Well that sucked, but whatever. Its the last game of a back to back and the backup goalie is in. I'm pleased with the way we have played today.

I really enjoyed the game.

 

[Mosby]

There are only 19 defensemen with more goals than Connauton.

 

[Name Nameless]

It was a back-to-back, it was messy- but I think this is how the games looks now when the Yotes play as they are told to. Only reason the Kings won was they had a guy who could pull a hat-trick out of his sleeve. I noticed people blaming it on Kuemper. Not here, on Facebook. That annoys me - nothing wrong with him.

Basically bad luck in a back-to-back. Very impressing.

The days of Coyotes as a bottom-feeder are behind us.

 

[MIGs Dog]

There are only 19 defensemen with more goals than Connauton.

So do we sign him?

 

[Mosby]

If the contract is reasonable.

 

[cobra427]

If the contract is reasonable.

I think the price for Kconn has gone up. I hope we can keep him as we might have a solid 6 D assuming no injuries. Schenn or Murphy look like they can fill in for injuries and if we land Dahlin even better.

 

[Name Nameless]

So do we sign him?

Any defencemen coming up in the pipeline? Let's just disregard the theoretical possibility of drafting an NHL-ready elite defenceman in the entry-draft.

 

[MIGs Dog]

I suppose we should consider all options from the UFA pool.

[The Feckless Puck]

So do we sign him?

If the contract is reasonable.

I'm betting Chayka knows that Connauton is doing this in a contract year and that this level of production is highly unlikely to continue or be replicated. Or, maybe I should say, hoping.

 

[Mosby]

Domi and Strome had it going there for a bit, leave them together and see what happens.

Stromi.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Stromi.

Sounds like a tasty pasta.

 

[Name Nameless]

UFA defencemen means you might end up with a Karl Alzner-type.

That would be bad. Fun for the rest of the leauge, but very, very bad.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Sounds like a tasty pasta.

Maybe a side of Perlini

 

[Tad Mikowski]

Maybe a side of Perlini

The Tour of Italy line

 

[Grimes]

Stromilini

 

[Grimes]

Speaking of, how did Strome look?
