GDT: Party of One: Senators @ Devils

[Wingman77]

Not too often the last 4-5 years we have had a play, goal, hit, save, etc that you could watch over and over for years and it never get old. Even during the success had last season. Nothing further really needs to be said about this play from start to finish.

 

[Patrik26]

Play of the ****ing season so far.

I would've loved to see the entire sequence from behind Kinkaid, to watch the reaction of Nico, Sami, Santini and KK.

 

[haak84]

gross that ppl want to sticky that vats play. when theres this:



actually kinda crazy that he scores the sickest own goals and prevents the craziest unstoppable goals.

 

[haak84]

Vatanen is a better defender than Rafalski was. Rafalski might be the most overrated player of all time around these parts....he would've been joke without being proppedup by Hall of Fame partners virtually his entire career,

underrate rafalski much? vata needs to finish ninth in norris this season to match rafalskis age 27 season.

like rafalski is more of a butcher type player i get that. but vats isnt that. he reminds me of a less skilled sandis ozolinsh

 

[Patrik26]

that ending sequence to the Hall goal reminded me of this goal (but reversed in terms of handedness)

Common denominator of the two goals? Guy Boucher behind the bench for the opponent in both games,

And the ending .... wish we'd see more like this.

Hey, finally some things are going this teams way....don't throw the piss bucket yet when we finally have some good fortune and excitement....

You can find a few own goals from a few other players on this team in last two years (not just Vats, although that one was particularly bad, haha).

 

[Oneiro]

Man, I'm just glad Santini is getting some time.

From before the draft to now, people have always spoken highly of his character and I have a tough time believing that he'd be totally one-dimensional (and eaten alive) at this level. We'll see, but you hope he brings what Lovejoy does and more.

Fun game to be at.

Vatanen is horrendous in his own zone. That is all. Honestly have no idea how anyone could say he is better than Rafalski was defensively. Really no idea at all how anyone who apparently watches a lot of hockey could think that. Then factor in Brian was a 50+ pt performer numerous times as well, which is something Vatanen will NEVER be...

Vatanen couldn't hold Rafalski's jock. It would probably knock him over if you tossed it to him anyway.

But whatever. Devs win!

 

[billingtons ghost]

Unfortunately, this would get a lot more love and recognition if Santini or Mueller made this play.

Oh please. It'd be forgotten about immediately just like every outlet pass they've made this year. It was a great scrambldy desperation play.

Nope. If only because rafalski was headier and didn't panic.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Palms is 4th among RWs in goals, only trailing Laine, Pastrnak and Atkinson. He is 15th in the entire league.

He is tied for 10th among RWs in points as well.

I say it again. Top 10 RW. Don't @ me.

EDIT: Oh, and he is signed for 2 more years after this at $4.65 mil per. ****ing steal!

Low hockey IQ

 

[Emperoreddy]

Would really like if this was a turning point of the season.

Also I think we would have had to lock the sub forum if someone scored a goal like that on us.

 

[BahlDeep]

Not sure if it was mentioned, just watched the replay of that crazy sequence, Santini taking the body of that Sens player in the crease is an underrated play. Most of our other Dmen, or probably all of them would've try to fish for the puck with their stick

If you look at this week, we played well last fri and sat. Even played well in Columbus, just ran into a really good goalie... one stinker mixed in....
We may not make the playoffs but I think theyll start to win more (esp if cory is no where near this team and you keep blackwood as the backup)

Just the fact you had three players down in the crease with the puck lurking around and none of them actually fell on the puck or closed their hand and still got it out showed a remarkable amount of poise, especially considering this team as a whole has been pretty low IQ this season.

 

[NorwegianDevil]

I love Cangy <3

 

[Maine Fan]

Now only one puck given to the fans per player?

Used to be two

Last night it did look like they didn't give any except Hall but the other two may have given out theirs before they can out of the tunnel. Owner cost cutting program.

 

[Maine Fan]

You called it

It's the way to win every time, everyone play a full 60 minutes.

 

[Wingman77]

Although this save by Salvador wasn't as theatrical as Vatanen and Nico's efforts, last night did remind me of it. There is so much wrong with this play though . 3 guys covering 2 Stars on the right side of the ice with 2 Stars wide open coming down the left side and Kovy coasting in behind them which even led to that save having to be made.

 

[Nubmer6]

I think the best part of the nutty goal last night was the glove, and how Palms batted it ahead with his glove. As if the sequence wasn't batty enough.

This is almost Bleed like how you managed to remember a play like this from a random regular season game lol...of course it didn't have the spectacular finish at the other end though.

Imagine if the refs called that a goal on the ice last night, it would have screwed us out of getting Palms to Hall at the other end

 

[SJinNewJersey]

It's all on A coach not knowing the first thing about defense. Both Mueller & Santini should start on this team.

Andy Greene should at least sit when we have back to back games.
