GDT: Pre Super Bowl Casual Skate (SJ @ CAR)

[AD Skinner]

You know it's a rough game when the commentators spend most of it talking about another game in another sport

 

[Canes]

Seen at intermission: an old man leaving alone after 2 periods, hunched against the blowing rain, with his popcorn bucket in hand.

Maybe the saddest thing I’ve ever seen at a hockey game.

Good for him. Being a fan of this team is not good for your health. Doubly so if you're a senior citizen.

 

[Tryamw]

Nice hold on Williams there.

 

[Tryamw]

TT whiffed.

 

[Novacane]

So which 2 non-Kane Blackhawks do we acquire this offseason?

Nothing tells player values like how many Stanley Cups they’ve won. It may be time for some Penguin cast offs. Carl Hagelin? Ian Cole?

 

[Svechhammer]

Well at least we know why Dundon has spent so much time with gimmicks to get people in the arena. Team bad.

Oh god, and Hagelin is a Swede with speed. I hope Francis doesn't read your comment because if he does Ryan and a 2nd are going the Pens way for him faster the Canes fall out of playoff contention.

Unfortunately for him he's going to have to spend a lot more than time to fix this mess.

Tahm Bwady. He's the greatest athlete of all sports of all time. He would urinate Stanley Cups for the Canes

 

[Lempo]

'Swede with speed' is where street meets Sesame Street.

 

[Wolfpuck]

2 on 1 fail

What else is new

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

It was you, wasn’t it?

 

[AD Skinner]

Anyone not named Aho Slavin pesce mcginn teravainen can go. We could get nothing but draft picks for everyone we lost on that situation and have a better record next year

 

[Novacane]

WTF Williams

 

[SaskCanesFan]

Williams has 35 feet to walk into the middle uncontested and decides to make a terrible pass instead. Seems about right, yup.

 

[Canes]

Tahm Bwady. He's the greatest athlete of all sports of all time. He would urinate Stanley Cups for the Canes

But Dundon is from Dallas. Aho for Dak Prescott.

 

[The Faulker 27]

This team.

 

[My Special Purpose]

OK, so let's put this together with Aho and Lindholm at C:

Aho-McGinn-Teravainen
Lindholm-Skinner-Williams
Staal-Rask-Stempniak
Kruger-Nordstrom-Ryan

??

As for call-ups, it seems to me that Zykov is having most of his success on the power play, and he's actually a big minus player at even strength. Foegele is the guy producing at 5-on-5 and even shorthanded. And Wallmark, of course, is producing all the time. He should be in the NHL right now, especially when you look at our NHL roster. I'd put Wallmark/Foegele on the fourth line and dump Kruger/Nordstrom. Not sure how that can hurt.

 

[Svechhammer]

Anyone notice how this commercial about "bringing the energy from the ice to the front office" is about bringing Forslund in and not a player? If that isn't inadvertently telling about our on ice play....

 

[Canes]

'Swede with speed' is where street meets Sesame Street.

Beats being on speed. Or does it?

 

[Wolfpuck]

This team.

Can't like.

...okay I will.

 

[Canes]

Williams has 35 feet to walk into the middle uncontested and decides to make a terrible pass instead. Seems about right, yup.

Williams seems to want to pass no matter the situation. It's why he has so many assists, and why he has horrible turnovers seemingly every game.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Only 10 minutes left.

Thank God.

I'm good with that. Give Lindholm and Aho the rest of the year at C, not just a period here or there and get mad and change it if it doesn't work immediately

 

[Canes]

Only 10 minutes left.

Thank God.

Only 1750ish minutes left to the season.

Maybe slightly more if we decide to lose in OT/SO like we often do.
