Half-Assed GDT: GDT: hour before the game edition

[converseman54]

Not a lot of hitting so far. This doesn't bode well for us

 

[542365]

They’re first to every puck.

 

[Ranksu]

We need legs and hits

 

[Ranksu]

wow nice play Blais. good hit and backcheck by Blais. Amazing Shift.

 

[TruBlu]

I'll take these easy saves all night, but they are going to get a goal eventually if we keep letting them sit in our zone.

 

[Thallis]

Fabbri needs to support Petro on that puck instead of floating and hoping for a pass.

 

[Lord Helix]

Geez, JBo...

 

[mw2noobbuster]

We're picking up the play!

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Bouwmeester

 

[EastonBlues22]

Did anyone notice our D shifting sides early on last night?

The Blues weren't playing a straight man-to-man last night, if that is the question. It looked like some sort of low zone collapse.

A lot more room in the middle tonight with the man-to-man...but a lot less room at the points. Maybe the Blues are proactively trying to undercut the effectiveness of Winnipeg's active offensive defenders?

I don't like the change, personally.

I thought they were playing man to man at times last night.

 

[TruBlu]

I saw jbo was defending and figured that would be a breakaway. He kept it from happening, but I don't have much faith in him.

 

[Mike Liut]

I know that family very well. So awesome to hear.

 

[TruBlu]

Tarasenko needs to start cutting left to right. He's just running at the goalie.

I specifically mean in the o-zone. I saw 29-27 switch sides like you would during a PP. After we went up 2-0 i didnt see it again.

 

[converseman54]

4th line is our best so far tonight

 

[TruBlu]

Our 4th line is the only one that makes progress.

 

[Ranksu]

I really like our 4th line. There is physicality. net front precense, fight spirit for 1on1 situation, some legs and overally very balanced 2-way line.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Barbashev has been a beast lately.

 

[fcpremix88]

Why does this team struggle so much with breakouts?

 

[Evocable Manager]

I'm ready to scratch Maroon again.

 

[Lord Helix]

How about that sequence by Blais?

 

[Mike Liut]

Wow what a weak call

 

[Lord Helix]

Maroon didn't do anything. Meh.

 

[KirkOut]

weak call there
