GDT: Round 3: Colorado vs Vegas - Thursday at 9PM (Vegas up 3-2)

[M.C.G. 31]

Vegas is beatable if Colorado would just adjust their game plan and clog the neutral zone enough to slow them down.

Their defense and goaltending is another story though.

There's some funnyshit going on in this game. Like no D amd certainly no G.

That was easiest goal for Petrangelo. Defense was just standing. Empty netter

 

[Hullois]

I feel better after these first 2 periods.

Yeah honestly.... Not sure either of these teams are ready for the kind of heavy D we are playing

 

[HuGo Sham]

Either of these teams play defence?

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Awful goaltending.

Why is Grubauer sliding away from the net there? A square goalie would have had no issue coming across the crease.

Instead he was in full desperation trying to get back in position

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Both goalies look shaky, definitely something we'll have to find a way to exploit if we want to win against either of those teams.

 

[Redux91]

Gonna need a small miracle here for this to go 7

But I couldnt care who we face now to be honest
Tampa remains the boogeyman right now

It wasn't even a strong push off to get to the other side either. Technical and positional errors on that one.

 

[Kennerback]

MAF has always been a rebound machine, but he does well when his team locks up the inner slot. Vegas is the best at it. The front of the net won’t be the free for all sieve like vs Winnepeg.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Avalanche is done.

They're weak down the middle and in the G position. Everywhere else is very strong.

TBH, he reminded me of Primeau when he played for us.

 

[Goldenhands]

lol Girard is so bad at defending, I think he was on the ice for all Vegas goals...

 

[Edgy]

Both teams going up and down the ice almost unchallenged. Never seen playoff hockey with loose defense like this.

Crazy bad
Were so spoiled when carey is on
Carey would of kicked off, be sliding half butterfly and upright and the puck is going off his shoulder
Grubauer puts himself in a desperation splits to make an impossible save, just ugly

Girard team high -3 at the moment lol
Tied with Jost

Very diffucult to know how MTL matches up against either team especially with no reference.

I think Vegas is the toughest matchup but i have little to go on. I think Vegas D might give MTL fits

If we play Vegas, we're going to need our 4th line and Josh Anderson to give us some push back and offensive zone pressure to push Vegas' big d back on their heels. That would create some space for the skilled players like Caufield and Suzuki.

Yeah, no reference whatsoever. You're right. Makes it fun!

Their speed will give our D fits. We clog up the neutral zone and try to capitalize on breakaways, their D doesn't seem too invested in tightening up or shutting down breakaways.

Until they face our forechecking Demon Arty lol

But seriously, dont underestimate that Perry all 6"4 cycle line

St. Louis were the defending cup champions last year with a good dcore anchored by Pietrangelo. We walked all over them. We'll see how we match up on the ice.

Adjustments will be critical and how fast you can make them.

Can watch as much video as you want but cant replicate the PP, PK, how teams transition or team speed. You could down 2 games fast if you cant adjust

Galley mentioned the last goal, who is this Petra Angelo fella?
