GDT: Going Tanking @ Canucks - 10pm ET

[Corby78]

Maybe one of the best games of the year so far. But let’s see what they do versus two good teams next

 

[Capsman]

If there are any fellow Wahoos - UVA just squeaked by Michigan in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge

Fellow Wahoo. I missed the game (went to bed early, have flu), but just woke up and saw the Caps and UVA scores. Beautiful.

OV could have had three goals with any puck luck.

 

[ovikovy817]

GOAT.
Another record for him.

 

[tycoonheart]

Oh wow. We won huh. This is a nice surprise to wake up to.

The neat thing about Ovie’s year so far is that even though he’s on pace for 44 goals he’s shooting a bit below his recent shooting percentage. 13.3% this year is a very sustainable rate for him. 50 goals isn’t out of the question for this season.

Also shout-out to Dylan Strome. I think it’s safe to say he’s been their overall best center this season. He’s also on-pace for 60 points this year despite having one of the lowest on-ice shooting percentages on the team. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him push 70 points if he gets a little more shooting luck.

No one will ever mistake him for Connor McDavid or Patrice Bergeron, but the supposed lack of footspeed hasn’t mattered much this year and his defensive impacts have been among the best on the team.

Somehow I fell down the rabbit hole of reading the Game 5 thread during intermission.

There are much worse ways to spend some time... such as reading this thread for just one example.






Or any other GDT since then.

He actually reminds me a bit of Backstrom. Backstrom obviously has otherworldly vision and is better defensively but Strome plays that methodical, cerebral game and looks at hockey like he’s playing chess. Neither guy is fleet of foot but because of their IQ it’s not overly detrimental to their games.

I only got to see the last 10 mins of the 3rd.

Nice to see that smile on Martins face when he air mailed it dead center.
