Bedard with 3 points so far tonight. 2nd straight game with 3 points.

Interesting to see that both those games have been against teams similarly bad as Chicago.

 

[Three On Zero]

Might be a Tavares. We'll see.

I get more of a Jeff Skinner vibe

This is their best roster I think. They've got a lot of mileage out of their team the last few season, Hurricanes are 3rd in wins since 2020-21. They've fallen short in the playoffs mostly because there's a lot of games you need one more goal and they lacked a guy who could score it.

What I have literally been stating for the last couple of seasons, and previously in this GDT.

Vegas starting to get back to normal. Howden plays the first time in months and immediately does his trademark move of slashing to incur the first penalty. Even with the injury time, Howden leads the rest of the team in the first penalty by a mile.

Decline!

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Decline!

Both good players. Just don't like pressuring teenagers.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

To be fair, Hrudey played about 600 more games than he should have beyond those 75 games.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Florida back in it with some PP magic.

Of course.

 

[Givememoneyback]

Swaggggggyyyyy!

 

[a mangy Meowth]

That was such a ridiculous one timer from MacKinnon lol

The last one with under 10 seconds to go was not too bright. Just chip it out and game over. No reason to give the Canes the chance to win the draw and get off a shot.

The analytics indeed say take the shot. Not sure how advanced the model is since so much is unique and situational when it comes to what goes on in the final minute of a game.

the one problem with incorporating anything analytics with the rangers is that they've had models completely baffled for like 3 years now. the analytics support taking the shot yea, but this is a team with 4 players in the top 20 missed nets in the league, is an incredible 7/71 on breakaways this season, and consistently demonstrates a jawdropping ability to invent ways to avoid finishing what appear to be gimmes. then on the other side of things, they also have an ability to get fairly consistent production from the borderline absurd.

so taking the shot is the right play. unfortunately, this team is completely and utterly incapable of executing the basics. i mean vesey took a shot from the right side of the ice and i'm fairly certain the puck crossed for icing even further to the right of the net than he shot from. like....it's one thing to miss...but he legitimately didn't even shoot the puck in the right gd direction.

Chucky!!!! Benny?

These Panthers just don't die do they

I know, I'm agreeing with you.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Of course.

Dallas might not even make it to OT before taking the L here.

I know, I'm agreeing with you.

Thanks for the ex-Flames.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Awesome, yet another late PP for Florida.

 

[RedRocking]

The Avs just murdered the Flames in like 15 mins real time

 

[Shellz]

Tkachuk is such a weenie “wefffff he twippeddd meee”

 

[Givememoneyback]

Awesome, yet another late PP for Florida.

Are we whining about calls in this game?

 

[VivaLasVegas]

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Stupid play by Tanev. Putting FLA on the pp this game has been deadly.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Are we whining about calls in this game?

Whining? Not really. Been some very soft calls in this one though.

Expecting the Panthers to take the lead here too.

 

[Givememoneyback]

He got away with an obvious hold earlier. Probably thought it wouldn't get called.
