OFF DAY THREAD! Postponement extraordinaire

[Gurglesons]

again, you are just throwing this out cause someone says
look at the last night he played over 5 minutes against Ovi's line and had over 80% Corsi...yes comparing to 8 minutes that first and second pair had...Marino played 8 minutes too but got pushed around...so yes less minutes but not like he does not face first lines at all

Lavi did some weird things last night.

 

[vodeni]

Ovechkin did play 26 minutes last night lol.

he played around 21 5 on 5, we had 1st pair for 8 minutes, second pair for 8 minutes and our third pair played about 5 minutes against (CC)..Tanger was about even, Marino got pretty hammed down, CC had 8 shots for 1 against that line....If you can trust your third pair to play 25% of time against their best line, and are able not to extend your top pair minutes, I think thats a good thing.

Ovi also plays full two minutes on every PP...that is insane...

He doesn’t move on the PP though

 

[Scandale du Jour]

He doesn’t move on the PP though

He barely moves, period.

He floats A LOT!

He'll take a run from time to time, but most of the time, he glides and floats.

"This is a real tough one for you, Tristan..."
"How do you think you performed yesterday..."


Jeez I know athletes are kind of stereotypically viewed as the dumb jock, but c'mon... is that REALLY a tough question?

So tough and Jarry is so obviously caught off guard the he gives his pre-thought out canned answer.

I like Jarry personally... seems like a good egg... I hope he gets it together --- for both our sakes.

I think they were just being more polite than thinking it’s a tough question.

true, but a good puck control team could keep him stuck on the ice for another full mim.

Anyone that says Ceci is doing well because of sheltered minutes is a bias poster that can't even admit when they are wrong. Some of Ceci's best games have been when he had to play 22+ minutes a game when out defense was decimated with injuries. Looking at the chart above he was hardly sheltered last night. You don't shelter a guy by putting him on the ice against the other teams top player for over 5 minutes. What is Ceci's QOC for the year? I bet it is not like Ruhwedel last year in single digits. Ceci is the perfect veteran signing that can play bottom pairing but also has the experience to play big minutes when needed like the game he played over 24 minutes.

For $1.25 million 10 games 5 points and +3 is worth twice that. But lets stick to the narrative that Rutherford was crazy to sign him.

So your wasting your time with some of these guys. They will never admit mistakes. My favorite thing I have done from time to time was bring back old posts from them and how off they had been. We got the best arm chair GM's around.

and yet somehow shoots a bunch....

Last night on the PP there was one really long stretch where you could see him standing still with his arms by his side. The only time he moved them was when a guy at the point got the puck.

Then 5 seconds left on the PP, the caps had control of the puck and he just skated off

Lucky the guy can shoot well still.

I hope you did not plan your retirement investing in ColeBucks

I just visualize like some Star Wars galaxy where they are hovering over the ice saying "Oh you better not fumble a puck... OR YOU WILL BE TRADED."

Not saying he looks like Burke . . .

. . . but with the cloak semi covering the face, I'm also not saying it isn't Burke.

For those that want to watch 9 mins of cliched answers.

I didn’t watch it but for posted for those who do like @Honour Over Glory

Pettersson skating with Ceci sure is encouraging. He's back real soon if not next game.

Petts was on the PK so usually if you train on special teams you are in

I think Petts - Ceci has real potential to be a Cole - Schultz type bottom pairing. Just need Matheson not to piss all over himself.

Let’s hope he doesn’t listen to a lot of Miles Davis

He's got a bad case of the Jagrs.

I’ve never seen someone play as much as that guy. He averages like 1:50 on every power play, I swear.

and as I’ve just noticed others say, he just stands there waiting for the one-timer. I mean it works, but it’s ridiculous haha.
