GDT: Oil Spills vs. the Storm

[A Star is Burns]

Meh, I'll take the point. It was a hard fought game and we could have as easily come out with zero points as two.

 

[Lempo]

Go chuck wood, Chuck.

 

[GreeningOil]

Can we play you guys more than 2 times a year! Wow I love exciting hockey

 

[WreckingCrew]

We really need someone other than the first line to show up sometime before the end of the season.

We're getting close to "too little too late territory"

 

[Blueline Bomber]

We're getting close to "too little too late territory"

I mean, I thought we passed that back in mid January.

we still have a game in hand on both cbj and philly too

 

[dogbazinho]

What is Sheya's record? Can't be good.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I have no idea what to do, if anything, at the trade deadline.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Geez Necas....can’t do that in OT

 

[dogbazinho]

Trade for Toffoli. Lose Haula, Dzingel, TVR for whatever. Call up Bean and Gauthier.

 

[DaveG]

At least we got one. Special teams were certainly "special" tonight. Dominated them 5 on 5 but the pp going an ofor and them effectively going 2/3 on the pp was the difference. Absolute joke of a call that led to their 2nd period momentum didn't help either.

Also, f***ing shoot in ot. Trying too damn hard for the perfect pass.

 

[Identity404]

Sheya is pretty bad, not that I don't appreciate Forslund, but he makes me appreciate him more.

 

[Canes]

Jettison some players who do nothing for the team and call up Bean and Gauthier. Maybe bring in a player if he's good and cheap.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Yeah, we can still pass them with the games in hand. I think they also play each other this week, so if we actually get a regulation result, that'd be cool.

 

[bleedgreen]

This seasons team has an offensive mindset of trying for three way pretty passing plays instead of just shooting. Leads to lots of almost great plays, very occasional great plays, and plenty of frustration.

It’s surprising for a team with a coach who preaches straight forward and straight line hockey, and it’s very anti what we did last year.

Its fun to watch though, and we’ve never really had it so I’m not always against it.


We did get a point we didn’t used to get.

 

[Oil Dood]

If you guys ever get tired of Aho please send him our way. This guy does not get enough credit for how good he is.

 

[AD Skinner]

I'm starting to lean toward getting a forward at the deadline would be the better move than a defenseman. I'd been thinking a goalie like lehner would be great but I dont know if there would be enough time to adjust to the way the defense plays. If we're going to be loosey goosey have to score 3+ to win, we're going to need more firepower

 

[Negan4Coach]

The story of this team- shell the opposing goaltender a million times- get nothing, lose on one shot.

Seems like its been this way for years.

We need a forward and goalie more than D IMO. D will take longer since the biggest need is PP QB and there is no way Rod is giving that up so easily.

Sounds a lot like 3 on 3 OT. I know everyone is bitching about it right now, but I think that style of play has proven pretty damn good for this team. The last two years OT has not been a painful experience like it was before.

Let's go up to the buffet and get a little bit of all 3

Rod talks about trying to be too pretty frequently in the post game interview. He downplayed SAT's beautiful tic tac toe goal the other night stating that you don't want to try that every time. He knows, but these young players will have to learn.

I mean, I am super happy with the shootout this year, though.

Won't argue about TVR or Dzingel. I don't think they will go Aho-Staal-Wallmark-Eetu/Bishop down the stretch, so I think Haula hangs around.
