GDT: Knights @ The Team They Never Beat. The Knights Already Lost Edition

[willy702]

As they say if you can't beat the Mild then you are not a contender. Blowing leads happens, but you can't let it happen in a game where you are trying to show you can beat a particular team that has your number. They will own that headspace a lot longer now.

Lehner is a walrus, but not the one that actually stops pucks like in the commercial. Horrible lateral movement.

 

[mundyc3]

Nearly broke my phone in anger. Also Lehner does not have the reaction speed to work well against the Wild or Avalanche. Too much movement and chaos, especially in creating second chances than Lehner can handle.

No point in watching cause they already lost

Thanks alot

Regular season success means nothing come playoff time (eg Vegas/San Jose).

The Knights will beat the Wild if they play in the playoffs as long as they don't have another scoring drought like against Dallas. The Wild don't have the center depth or the playoff experience to go far yet.

Normally I would think you are right, but this is a weird season and we have played them 7 times now. If it was a smaller number of games it would be easier to dismiss as a fluke.

I thought the Sharks got really lucky against us. It was ridiculous we didn’t beat them in 6. We beat ourselves in that series.

 

[Vegas07]

I thought our team got outhuscled for pucks before a couple of those goals.

Game prediction:

Minnesota 27
Vegas 2

25 of Minnesota's goals are from Hague centering to them in our defensive zone.
Smith and Stone for Vegas.

Losing 27-2 would have been a better result, at least a bad loss you just get over it and move on.

That "Dive" on the tying goal.... was there any lateral movement on that or did he literally pivot on the point as it looked. That seemed to completely defy physics.

 

[The Duck Knight]

With all the standing around in the 3rd I think it needs pointing out we were essentially playing 8 forwards. That won't be an issue once the cap disappears for the playoffs. It's tough when you only dress 11 and then have 2 guys you can't trust with a regular shift late in games + a guy playing his 1st game.

Agreed. That was embarrassing. It’s like we tried to send a message they could beat us any time.

 

[BlueKnight]

What a f***ing joke. I was confident about the their chances in the playoffs. If we have to play the wild they'll smoke us. I was confident about playing playing the Wild or the Blues but my confidence is waning that Vegas will be able to win against either team.

He flopped. There was no attempt at pushing himself sideways.

St. Louis I think we're all right. If we face Minny we're f***ed. They're our boogeyman.

Just being prepared.....

May 5th

I am not at all confident in playing either the Wild, Blues or the Avs in a series. The team is where they are right now just mostly because of beating up on all the trash teams in this division. But it has struggled against teams like the Avs and Wild. Even in our last game against the Avs I thought the Avs were the better team.

 

[The Duck Knight]

And Martin Jones is being Martin Jones as the Sharks are about to choke a multi goal lead against Colorado.

Mission accomplished

He also did a great job making sure COL gets the extra point.

On the good news front, the Yotes losing tonight makes it pretty unlikely the Blues will give much of a damn against the Knights.

Vegas needs to beat Wild, and Blues, and Avs, when they are giving a damn. They will face one and hopefully two of them while they are giving a damn in the playoffs.

Patches is day-to-day, so, uhh, he joins Nosek I guess?

Well you are complaining about Jones giving up points to the Avs, the Kings helped out because a locked in place Blues team should be very beatable this week.

I was more ridiculing Jones than complaining

Agreed. I’ve been saying recently that I would be confident in a series against the Ducks.

Yeah I feel we could take the ducks in 7
