GDT: San Diego Gulls 2020/2021 (continuous)

[bsu]

Zegras has some great defensive anticipation.

 

[bsu]

Drysdale should show a little more urgency...

 

[duxfan1101]

Gulls up 2-1 after 2. They were much better defensively in that period.

 

[bsu]

Drysdale got buried, then Agozzino went over to grab the guy and Drysdale stopped him to avoid a penalty...

 

[duxfan1101]

Condors' point shot is redirected in. 2-2 with 7 minutes left.

 

[ReptilianQuack]

Weve been either to cute with the puck or very non shalant most the last 2 periods.
Blah hockey.

 

[duxfan1101]

Going to OT

 

[duxfan1101]

Condors score 50 seconds in. Game 3 tomorrow.

 

[ReptilianQuack]

I havnt watched the Gulls in a few weeks, but that was seriously painful to watch for the 40+ minutes that I saw.
Just horrible hockey.

Edit: im told the 1st period was exciting ...

 

[Static]

That sucks

 

[bsu]

That was Anaheim Ducks hockey.

Is Dineen actually a good coach? Maybe I'm overestimating the talent a bit, but for a team with the roster they have, they get outplayed for long stretches way more than I would expect.

 

[duxfan1101]

One positive takeaway from these games is that Dostal has looked fantastic.

I've thought about this as well and have leaned toward giving him the benefit of the doubt considering the number of personnel groupings he has had to go through this year (not that I know anything about coaching).

 

[Mr Rogers]

Watched more of Friday's game than today's but everyone seems a bit tired, which is totally understandable. some of the young guys have played a lot of hockey in a condensed period. tomorrow may be even worse.

 

[Kalv]

Zegras is pissed about something taking multiple runs and talking shit to every Condor.

I think at the start of the game at least a couple of times Condors players bumped into Z.
Whatever they did, I guess worked. Z ended up -1, without points.
Drysdale wasn't very aggressive, he was standing back a lot.

I don't buy the ''they are tired'' thing. If anything, they had more time to rest than the Condors who had to do a play-in.
So not really sure what was the issue, but the performance wasn't great at all.

Sometimes you just don't have your A game. Isn't always one exact reason.

 

[Leonardo87]

Couldn't bury prime scoring chances, had some bad D turnovers or poor assignments, didn't get a lot of PP's, and lost in OT 90 seconds in, yup felt like a Ducks game. lol.

 

[bsu]

Drysdale was so non-chalant all game.

The condors did not have a play-in. Only San Jose did, and they are out already.

Yeah I didn't think they were tired, I thought Bakersfield succeeded in establishing a very energetic forecheck that backed everyone off. That said, the Gulls had plenty of chances and just didn't convert or were thwarted by Skinner, who had a good game. That includes Zegras, who had a goal on his stick at least twice and just couldn't get it done. If they score on their chances next game, I think they'll be fine.

Would be cool if they can advance, if not. Won’t be the end of the world, but will still have some more hockey to watch and will be good experience for the kids if they can.

I’m losing interest in the NHL playoffs, and really not into the Worlds this year. Just want Oct to come lol.

Everything is a blur right now, I can't keep track of all of the series. What I've seen has been entertaining though.

Honestly, I personally don't care too much how long the gulls stay in it. There's a little bit of guilt following it considering it feels like the players are being exploited, so I wouldn't mind too much just starting the kids' offseason plans asap.

That's how I feel too. I feel with the whole Covid situation, and it's not a regular season or playoffs, let's just get to the off-season and focus on a normal regular season in Oct where fans will be back in the arenas full time and will have an entire full season and regular schedule. I cannot wait to book my next Anaheim trip, just waiting for the schedule to come out of course.
