Post-Game Talk: Hitch puts Koalas on the endangered species list

[oXo Cube]

Lighting up Dubnyk felt pretty good man.

I know that's petty but I don't care.

Chia putting the Pete in compete!

So looks like Petey C finally deserves to be considered a Chia seed (Good product but a rip off for price)?

 

[Pointteen]

Since when is it easy to Beat the Wild?

 

[StupidGenius]

It's really nice to see the guys get rewarded with some offense, as their overall play has been miles better under Hitchcock. Hopefully this is something of a turning point for the team where they can ride high confidence and really take it to a depleted Calgary squad on Sunday.

$8 for whoever makes a clip of Larsson's pass to McDavid around 3:15 left in the third.

$8.

Sorry, I’ll only do it for $8.5

 

[Garbo Man]

Love how Drai's face is almost like "f*** WE SCORED" when he scores a goal or picks up an assist

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

 

[KarmaPolice]

Talbot in action tonight!

He had a good game.

 

[Del Preston]

Our Guy is back.

 

[Panda Bear]

Sorry, I’ll only do it for $8.5

DO I HEAR $9?!

"Filthy Bruce" on Monday morning's 1260 morning show should be pretty funny.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Maybe the performance needed to let the horses out of the stable.

Confidence is a funny thing. Seeing the puck go in the net is what the boys needed.

Lighting up Dubnyk felt pretty good man.

I know that's petty but I don't care.

Have we ever beat him before tonight?
Serious question because IDK.

 

[CupofOil]

I'm a little disappointed. With Kassian scoring, I can't use my favorite nickname for that line anymore "The FlatLine".

 

[CycloneSweep]

Zykov looked pretty good, there's something there. He'll do better with Chiasson on his line once Rattie moves up to play with McDavid and Drai.

Actually I wouldn't mind dropping Pulju got that line and have Chiasson side to the second.

 

[Porkleaker]

Koskinen's got something to prove on Sunday it seems. Hmm
Huge win....Great job coming about as close as you can to scoring Lucic....lmao

 

[McBigYak]

Only natural I drop Talbot for Koskinen in my pool with 3 moves max a season and he puts up two solid games haha. If he gets back to form it's probably split duty.

 

[NeverForget06]

I said this in the GDT.

In the Todd era the team completely shuts down with a lead and tries to not lose it. The team under Hitchcock appears to continue to want to add to the lead.

I see the same thing.

In my opinion, it's because Todd's system wasn't inherently defensive. The players felt as though they had to be extra careful when playing in that system with a lead.

Hitch's system is inherently defensive. The players don't feel like they need to be careful, because they can play the same way throughout the game regardless of the score.

 

[Il Mediano]

Hitchcock is showing he's amongst the elite of the elite coaches once again.

He's in that Quenville/Babcock/Sullivan bracket , for me.

 

[CupofOil]

Talbot in action tonight!

He had a good game.

LOL, I love it.
Suck it Cam haters.

 

[Jepprey]

Hitch obviously the factor....

But this Zykov pickup pushed them over the top though. They were scoring 3 without him. 7 with him. Basic math.

Yuge win. Depth scoring. Wtf is that.

 

[Garbo Man]

1 point out of the ploffs baby

 

[Senor Catface]

@StevenF1919 hey little buddy we won. Come discuss
