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

[Blueline Bomber]

Another game, another single goal.

Goaltending is the real issue though.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Fleury has returned to being absolutely abysmal at every aspect of the game. That was a nice game or two he had.

Why are you acting like goaltending isn’t an issue? It is.

Is this the Detroit game thread still?

Haven't seen anyone blaming goaltending today. But I've slipped into the Maker's Mark early today so I could be wrong.

Whiskey works better than beer.

 

[Breakdowns]

This team is an issue

 

[Wolfpuck]

Poor Aho is trying his heart out.

 

[Canes]

This team is an issue

The franchise is an issue

Maybe Dundon is not once he decides to fix it from the top on down.

No you're right, Darling has been an All Star this year

 

[Wolfpuck]

Dell with a bad turnover, but it's okay, because we did nothing.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Why are you acting like goaltending isn’t an issue? It is.

Because poor goaltending can be covered if the team in front of them plays well enough. It's much more difficult to win games with a shit offense.

 

[GoldiFox]

Where's the urgency?

 

[Wolfpuck]

We used up all of our goals in Montreal.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Bill Peters...decision-making process...

BAHAHAAAA

 

[Canes]

Yep, the team actually has played well enough to win games earlier this season only to be sunk by atrocious goaltending. Lately it hasn't been as much of an issue because the team has been playing badly but goaltending is still a major issue why we're going to be golfing in April yet again.

 

[Tryamw]

Other teams at these moments against us hold the zone and rarely give up a real chance. We meekly allow egress frm the zone

Literally everybody in this thread has been *****ing about every aspect BUT the goaltending.

The sarcastic drive-by made no sense.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Look. Before. You. Pass.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Why are you acting like goaltending isn’t an issue? It is.

Goaltending is obviously an issue. But there is no goaltender in any league anywhere who would have produced any different outcome in either of the past two games. We have repeatedly left NHL players alone in front of our net, while producing one goal in each game. We could trade for Vladislav Tretiak in his prime and we'd be 0-2 the past two games.

So it's a problem, but not the biggest one. Aside from a handful of games this season, our goalies have given us a chance to win.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Skinner, Ryan, and Stempniak took turns trying to go 1 on 1 at the blue line and getting picked clean in about 20 seconds. Just embarrassing

 

[Tryamw]

Ward sits on the Bench. Any chance we make this interesting? Magic 8 ball?


What U Crazy!

8 ball has spoken.

 

[Novacane]

Fans vs Ronald Francis

 

[The Faulker 27]

Faulk you're terrible.

Who cares what the “biggest” problem is, when all of the problems are bad enough to sink a season?

Fix them all.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Ward pulled
