GDT: Movember 3rd - Flames @ Blackhawks [5:30pm on Sportsnet West]

What did Berra do and how was it cheating? Was it an illegal play?

Cheated and slid to the middle lol

Cheated on Kane's shot. Overplayed it.

Yeah, he was caught making little ice walls in his crease

 

[herashak]

Galiardi is a damn good forechecker

 

[MC Ride]

Really impressed with Berra's play so far

Also, that was a VERY good read by Brodie

 

[Beats By CoRD]

Brodie having a solid game.

 

[1989]

Yes he cheated. He was also very good for 20 shots and Kane is a tricky one. Plus he was screened very well

He's also 26 years old and not exactly a greenhorn to pro-level goaltending.
New to the NHL but there are always skilled players and screens in the AHL and Euro leagues as well.

I'm not saying he's a bad goaltender. I'm saying he should have stayed square to the shooter especially when it is Kane and he should have played positionally and square to the shooter.

Just not a behaviour I like seeing from any goaltender, Berra or otherwise. Glad to hear it doesn't happen often but I actually hope that goal against him reinforces the fact that he shouldn't be doing that.

 

[MuffinMerc]

I think Brodie has found his game again.

 

[MarkGio]

Galiardi is a damn good forechecker

Yeah he is. He's makes the smart plays

 

[DCDM]

That was almost a trip, I think. But whatever. Refs are letting them play.

 

[MuffinMerc]

Galiardi is a damn good forechecker

Came as advertised by Sharks fans. They called him a puck retrieval dog for their top 6.

 

[St Wardo]

i thought we looked a lot better in the 2nd compared to the first period

The Hawks looked better too though so it doesn't mean much They were coming in waves for the first bit.

I'll take this goaltending any day of the week. We're still in this game because of Berra.

 

[St Wardo]

true, the first 5 minutes were scary. galiardi's penalty shot, even though he didn't score, did seem to kinda wake the guys up though

He's actually having an easier time because of the players in front of him. The Flames have restricted the Hawks to perimeter shots and have been clearing the crease pretty well. He did well when the Flames **** the bed earlier in the second but again those were perimeter shots. It will be interesting what happens when the defence plan falls apart for shifts at a time and when the team goes against teams that crash the net more.

Colborne is starting to look like a poor man's Martin Hanzal. Physicality, some skill, big body, coming back defensively.

This newer version of him isn't bad at all. He's really adjusted quickly to having a different mindset from his playmaking/set-up style in the past.

 

[St Wardo]

glenny!

Nice shot.
