GDT: HFBoards GDT | 2/8/20 - 12 Games today...with some early starts

[HuGo Sham]

Look at that celly, he's like a little kid, lol. Plus, his family is in town, he must have been pointing at them in the stands.

lol nice. he had trouble with the crazy skating pace tonight i think, but was clutch when it mattered

 

[LOFIN]

Imagine Kovalchuk on a team actually in the playoff hunt. Seriously, you think one of the teams higher in the standings could use him?

Nah man. Teams could've signed him for free and didn't, therefore he is useless.

 

[Three On Zero]

Drew two legit penalties and scored two goals. First one was unlucky for the Preds because he just stepped on somebody's stick, but those get called. Either way, dominated the Preds yet again.

i guess if diving is your thing

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Nice zone awareness Matthews...

It's not nice to quit on a play.

 

[sheed36]

Thought Petry played a very good game tonight. He just seems to play his best hockey when Weber isn't playing for some reason.

 

[syz]

It's the Preds' thing, apparently. Too bad they dove, they might've gotten to OT if they hadn't. Wasted a big point!

Dominating acrobatics performance for sure, glad you enjoyed it.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

more like completely divesaitl’d the third

That's quite a bee you have in your bonnet.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Petry is a very very good d-man. Went on 1-1 against both Tavares and Matthews and neither couldn't do s*** against him

truth .can you imagine if bergevin had actually built this D properly? outside pretty and weber, it's uneven. next year they'll have romanov, but i think they need to deal some of their picks or a A prospect to find a top LD . if they do, they'll be a dangerous team

I remember Petry logging in a lot of quality games as a first pairing D, while Weber was hurt long term.

I think he used to be a first pairing D in EDM but he was nowhere as efficient as he is now.

 

[Crabapple]

Refs weren't great in our game. Called an embellishment that I didn't think was a good call, and missed a board by Nurse in the last couple minutes. We did draw some tripping calls which I think were legit, but the other ones kind of decided the game. Not a great game all around.

 

[c9777666]

Montreal basically got 2 lucky shots. Talk about quality over quantity

 

[OldCraig71]

I thought that it was Scandella's best game as well, he was trying to create things and was solid in our end as well. There weren't really any brainfarts from the D as a whole and that's unusual lol.

 

[Cobra Commander]

As you know, it's not about Molson's pocketbook but about cap room and the risks teams take on with 35 years under the CBA.

And yes, they haven't exactly used all of their cap room in the last 3 years but that could change as of next year.

Let’s see what happens, but I won’t be mad if they give him a 2 year deal, I think he’s got a lot of hockey left in him.

 

[Runner77]

trut

It's going to take a viable plan and someone smart enough to implement it while adjusting as needed. It's not the type of balancing act I can imagine Bergevin doing but who knows, he might just continue plodding along next season too.

You're not wrong but the Leafs had nothing in the tank in the third, play the game till the end.

 

[Weztex]

It almost happened, but they wanted Theodore.... Savard should have pulled the trigger, the other pieces were our 1st and Komisarek I believe.

It was Markov, Garon and 7th overall.

 

[Runner77]

He's definitely showing that he can skate and those hands are still golden. What the hell happened in LA? Maybe it was a bad fit for him all the way.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Dominating acrobatics performance for sure, glad you enjoyed it.

Draisaitl has consistently dominated the Predators the past few meetings.

 

[OldCraig71]

It was Markov, Garon and 7th overall.

Atlanta wanted Theodore, right?

 

[OldCraig71]

Draisaitl has consistently dominated the Predators the past few meetings.

Draisaitl is a horse, quickly becoming my favorite player in the league.

 

[snipes]

2nd game without Kneeordano for the Flames, hopefully they lose again.

 

[snipes]

Draisaitl has consistently dominated the Predators the past few meetings.

4th straight game with 2 goals against the Preds.

Drai is already up to 85 points this year.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Nice zone awareness Matthews...

The f***? That was all on Barrie. Takes a stupid shot in the o-zone and does a lazy backcheck on Kovy.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

All part of the plan.

Yup when Weber was out long term Petry really upped his game and he's been playing the best hockey of his career since then. He's a completely different player than the player he was when he was an Oiler.
