GDT: HURRICANES AT ISLANDERS, BEAT THEY ASS INTO NEXT SEASON EDITION

[chaz4hockey]

Svetch time. 2 using his stick.

 

[Svechhammer]

Oh replay, that was obvious. Aho, that was real stupid, especially that late in the period

 

[Bruce Granville]

Aho with a breakaway GWG at 2:05 in the 3rd…I called it.

 

[MisterDobz]

What ever happened to the islanders’ Sebastian Aho?

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Great response but we need to mix up the lines (none of them make sense except for the first line) and win more faceoffs. The FO percentage is unacceptable.

 

[Summer Rose]

What ever happened to the islanders’ Sebastian Aho?

Not in the lineup today. Did play 71 games this season though.

 

[HisIceness]

Please just find a way to win the 3rd period.

 

[chaz4hockey]

How so? We have won the possession game most of this series while losing the majority of the FOs. Winning a FO and flipping it out of the zone isn’t possession

There have been many times on the PP or in the zone where a win would have allowed us to generate more chances.

It matters (Jarvis great faceoff win to the defenseman stick in game 2 led to the tying goal).

Are You Kidding Me!!

[cptjeff]

He is a bottom pairing/7D kinda guy and hasn't been in the playoff lineup.

 

[dogbazinho]

Unless we think it will ruin his development I would be playing Morrow. TDA is TDA at this point but Morrow may be Morrow in a few rounds.

it hasn’t affected anything though and in such hasnt hurt us. We are 27% in pp this series

Putting Morrow in isn't going to help him at all.

Aho is one of the smartest players in the game, go figure..

Well there you go. Sit him at spin.

TDA is horrific defensively. Even if Morrow is bad on his own, it would give him experience and it's not like he would be that much worse than statistically the worst defensive players in the league. Our issue with the Skjei TDA line on the ice right now is that if it gets out of our offensive zone we get hemmed in almost immediately praying for a stop or clear.

Both TNT and the ESPN broadcast the other night are apparently all in on wanting NY to win another.

I don't hear this kind of conversation about what the Caps need to do against the Rags.

Morrow is, thus far, and also for his last year in the NCAA, horrific defensively as well. If he was a defensive D prospect you'd have a point, but he's not. He's basically TDA but with zero experience at this point. I'd much rather play the guy who's already used to NHL speed.

I might be willing to take a chance on Coughlan, he was really good in the AHL this year.

Hard, hard no.

 

[Brock Anton]

Nah, someone did not just advocate for Dylan Coghlan to enter the lineup.

 

[hockeynjune]

TDA knows what he needs to do. We will see

 

[Blueline Bomber]

TDA is our best option, unfortunately

 

[hockeynjune]

I suspect two very motivated teams hit the ice in the 3rd

 

[Derailed75]

That’s a good visit. Did a tour on the Midway and stopped there and HK in ‘77 among other places.

I was on the Connie

 

[dogbazinho]

Assuming Pesce won't return, we have 6 D that have game time, one of which, TDA, is not going to get better. We probably need a 7th and 3-0 series was time to find one. Like I said I don't want to risk ruining development, but we need another ready D. Either way not a big deal, we'll shelter TDA and pray to Slavin that Pesce returns.
