GDT: Rittich-ulousness: Calgary @ Colorado (8PM - Oh look we're finally on HNIC)

[Mobiandi]

Rittich

 

[Calculon]

Rittich's earned himself some time as the backup.

 

[Volica]

Giordano has been not very good on the right point of the first unit.

They have two righties with good shots. Weird neither of them are playing there.

 

[Mitts]

I really think Tkachuk has a Jamie Benn/Prime Perry type ceiling. Like a top 3 power forward in the league type ceiling.

I love Backlund and Frolik, but how amazing would Tkachuk look with a big time offensive centre and given the offensive matchups.

*Edit.
Like Jarome, how often were we saying that about him?!

I don't see him being that high, ceiling wise, but I sure as hell hope you are right. His hockey IQ is often cited, and it really is true, he makes so many smart plays. I'm just not sure he has the offensive tools of a Benn or Perry, but I'll happily eat my words one day.

Connie ended up being Iggie's best center, they jelled well together, shame we lost Connie when we did.

 

[Lunatik]

Not gonna lie, I got a little nervous there.

I actually got more nervous on the replay when I saw he actually missed the pokecheck

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Sweet shot block by Stone. Our new good Russell

 

[Lunatik]

Stone is having a hell of a game.

Lotta blocked shots

 

[Jags68]

f***

 

[Lunatik]

Dammit. Looked like it was screened and deflected

 

[Mitts]

Shit.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

f***

 

[Volica]

Looks like they're setting up a fun last few minutes...

 

[Calculon]

The entire defence save Bartkowski (who's playing exactly like he always does) are having good games. Refreshing to see the team play well in front of a backup.

 

[MonaHan Solo]

Ayayay

Typed too soon...

The reverse Kipper.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Monahan should have cleared that better....

just sayin'

 

[Mitts]

Alright boys, let's survive this push.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Good attempt by Benny.

 

[Volica]

How is that not an awarded goal penalty exactly?

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

LMAO HOW WAS THAT NOT A HOLD???

 

[JPeeper]

3 guys hooking/holding Tkachuk going for the lose puck at an empty net.

No penalty.

U f***ing kidding me m8?

 

[JPeeper]

Barrie literally held Tkachuk's pants and was pulling him back.

But no, let them play to try and tie it up. NHL reffing gonna NHL ref.

 

[Volica]

LMAO HOW WAS THAT NOT A HOLD???

Well, let's be honest. If that was McDavid they'd just end the game and call'er right there.
