GDT: STORM WINGS 2 DÉJÀ VU ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

[Joe McGrath]

If i’m Rod, I just tell the goalies they’re swapping out every time they play a new opppnent. Mrazek has the Wings, Reimer gets the Preds, Mrazek back against the Panthers...

That makes no sense on any kind of strategic level.

True but this is the Carolina Hurricanes board at HFboards... we often don't make sense at a tactical or strategic level

WE OFTEN DON'T MAKE SENSE.

...

AT ALL.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I was once told that sense is what you make of it. So I think we make a lot of it here

What does that have to do with anything?

 

[VibesAlive]

Geekie scores, calling it now.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Geekie scores, calling it now.

Of course. He's the NHL's all time leader in points per game. It's what he does.

 

[Canes]

Geekie Gordie Howe hat trick along with a regular hat trick, calling it now

Projected Lineup: Hurricanes at Red Wings

So, Geekie is centering Foegele and Fast. Trocheck moved up to center Svech and Necas. Subject to change, of course.

IMAGINE SEEING THE WORD TAXI SQUAD JUST A FEW YEARS AGO. ALL OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE "WTF?"

 

[hblueridgegal]

Give me one win today, Canes.

 

[Tryamw]

Give me one win today, Canes.

I want 2 wins today!!! I am Greedy!

not as of last night, since Kaprizov got 3 points in his debut

well f*** him

I’m guessing they plan out the goalie rotation in advance. Easier to tell Mrazek he’s sitting after the shutout when he knew that before the game started. Give Reimer a game and continue on.

Since Mrazek and Reimer play very different styles, I think running a split for these 2 game series makes sense strategically. It’s more like a typical season for the opponent going from an aggressive goalie to a patient goalie with sound position. Barring injury I think we will see closer to a 50-50 split than last season (Mrazek 38 starts, Reimer 24 starts.)

Makes sense but so does giving then both multiple games at a time (provided they aren't back to back nights) because once we get to the playoffs we won't be rotating.

Geekie's still way more impressive considering he has double the sample size

Pretty sure Geekie is still the NHL career leader in regular season goals per game @ 1.5.

There was a poll on the main boards asking whether any player would score 50 goals this season. I pointed out that if Geekie got more than 34 games he'd do it. That's just math!

I would think certain opponents might play a style or tend to get certain types of chances more so that one of the two goalie styles might be more effective against them. Just switching them up might not always make sense in that case. Regardless, we've been pretty good selecting the correct goalie the past couple years, so I trust the process.

 

[Tryamw]

Geekie with the swap to 67...

 

[VAcaniac]

More goals pls

 

[surfzone365]

Canes 199 Wings .8

 

[Navin R Slavin]

NHL.tv showing me the home feed for both home and away links. That's irritating.

Edit: I guess it's just taking them time to sort out the away feed...

 

[Svechhammer]

The fox sports go app is struggling badly right now. Freezing up every 2 minutes, lagging horribly, unable to give a quality HD stream

I have gigabit internet while giving this streaming device priority, so I know the issues are on Sinclair's end

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

I live near downtown DC so things are well....CRAZY right now. Really hoping the Canes gives us a win tonight.

Also excited to see Geekie in but obviously hoping all is well for Staal.

 

[Tryamw]

More goals pls

For the good guys. Hurricanes
