GDT: kings vs peasants - pre-valentine's day edition

[andy500]

My last game before I head back to Scotland. Going for a four game point streak. Don’t let me down.

You're welcome guys. If I'm needed nearer April, forward my details to Dundon.

Quick! Someone chain this man up and make him travel with the team!

 

[Wolfpuck]

Yeah, we're not getting any help from anyone. Hence why you gotta take care of your own business.

Well, the Isles did get run out of their own building tonight.

51 shots against. Ouch.

JT is becoming more and more available. We just need Snow to screw up a trade at the deadline and JT will almost have to see he needs to move on.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Trade Faulk immediately.

 

[geehaad]

Trade Faulk immediately.

Faulk + Skinner for RNH

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Canes must be the only team that can go up 5-0 and still have their fans rightfully expect a loss.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

That was fungood

I think you meant inexplicably.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Literally the *second* he was able to shorten the bench and go down to three lines, Aho and Lindholm go to the wing. He just simply *will not* play either of those guys in the middle unless there is a gun to his head.

Wasn't Lindholm was on the wing from the start of the game? And didn't Aho score a goal as soon as he was put on wing? A 7-3 win with those things happening seems like an odd time to complain.

 

[Roboturner913]

Don't particularly care what position you call either of them, as long as they keep playing this well

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Lindholm was actually switched *from wing to center* in the third period, not the other way around. Aho moved from center to wing. They were going with Teravainen-Staal-Aho and Skinner-Lindholm-PDG.

Right, that's what I thought.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Not to get too far ahead of myself, but if Faulk and Skinner start to score, this team is a whole lot more dangerous. Captain obvious, but they were in a playoff spot without those two guys performing like they can.

 

[MMANumminen]

Wow nice game. Great to see Skinner waking up

You're all right. I'm not going to complain. We're scoring goals and winning games, and I'm just going to be happy. But I still think BP is pretty hard-headed, and I don't think our scoring woes are 100% dead and buried.

One other thing, after the game, the Canes called up Patrick Brown for, as Luke put it, "short-term depth." If he ends up centering the fourth line with Aho and Lindholm playing on wings, then can I get grumpy?

Not only can you, I'll join in.

I'm not sold on Aho at C though. He looked ok, but so far, he's a vastly superior winger, which is what he's played virtually his whole career (other than the WJC). Lindholm looks better to me, although he has more hiccups defensively. Still, we are talking about 3(ish) games at C for Lindholm and 3 periods across 2 games for Aho. Not a very big sample. I'd personally like to see Lindy get more time at C and keep the Aho-Staal-TT line together.

Yeah... yeah I'm with you on this one Kev. Of all the players to be called up, it's Brown. I mean shit, I would have been happier with Clark f***ing Bishop. Not that I dislike brown but it just is what it is.

Upcoming:

Ryan bought out, Rask assigned to Everblades, Jordan Staal waived

Lindholm moved to goalie

Win streak?

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Brown. Safe. Predictable.

 

[Joe McGrath]

You guys know short term depth means guy who isn’t going to play in an actual game unless someone gets sick on the flight, right?

 

[JCLA]

Brown is a call up that doesn't disturb the checkers or the canes. He's just there as insurance on a road game.

Nah, that's too easy of an explanation Joe.

 

[Breakdowns]

With Bill Peters you never know. Brown #1 center next game
