GDT: Unsolved Mysteries ep.6 (1.31)

[A Star is Burns]

Stepan and Stas played less than 7 minutes tonight. Not a good look for Stas.

Chatfield played over 23 minutes!!
Burns had 25.5 minutes
Skjei had almost 25

They sure made those limited minutes count given, well, you know.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Well, that was certainly...a game that happened...

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Aho tied Skinner for 5th in career goals scored with that OT goal.

I wonder if Brindy will start giving Chatfield Ian Cole-like minutes once Slavin returns. That would be reassuring for the top-4's ability to get proper rest in the regular season.

 

[Canes]

Necas circling his own zone with the puck in OT, revving up speed to rush through all that open ice, with that big old-school #88 on a red background, really does evoke NASCAR vibes.

Boy I tell you what. He dang ole looked like dang ole Dale Jarrett in the 96 Coca Cola 600, I tell you what boy.

 

[hockeynjune]

See your guys tomorrow, go Canes!

My account has been active since 2006.

Yeah I remember all my buddies were playing it in Iraq back then. And I'd get on the radio and be all like "Uh...guys...we have a 33.33 repeating of course..chance of survival on this op" and I'd get the reply "Leeeeeroooooy MMMJenkinnnns!" right before we jumped out the vehicles on the hit. Good times.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

This team is so ridiculous.

Chatfield has played phenomenal with Slavin out, dude has got some wheels.
Burns feels like he’s settling in a little more every game. It’s still kind of crazy seeing him in a Canes jersey, he’s always been on of my favorites.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

This team is so ridiculous.

Seriously, though, this is what the great teams do. 2 goal deficit with less than 2 minutes remaining? Meh. 3 goal deficit at the start of the third? Easy.

 

[hblueridgegal]

A classic TT interview but he cracked a smile

I almost think Chatfield was like "f*** it coach, put me in at LD next Burns. f*** it, I'll do it!" Dude has some swag to his game despite primarily being a defensive d-man who occasionally moonlights as a Nic Wallin clutch scoring d-man.

 

[LakeLivin]

For all our histrionics, this team is 6-6 in overtimes and 3-2 in shootouts. It really is just a coin flip.

4-6 before December 7
6-2 since December 17

Maybe Dundon snuck a biased coin into the procedure?

 

[The Faulker 27]

Had to go into work. I can see we kicked some ding dings in the 3rd.

 

[LakeLivin]

Do you think the Sabres have any idea what they’re in for tomorrow?

Do you, lol? I sure as hell don't!

 

[LakeLivin]

Stupid Canes! I've got to get up early tomorrow and it's a lot harder to fall asleep after a game like that than if they'd just gone on and lost 5-2 like it seemed they would!

 

[CandyCanes]

Very Fair point.

I still think this group can make this a Game. You have some weapons & a Coach that refuses to give up. That Sharks Game showed me this Team has the ability.

Then again, I’m a hopeless optimist, so take my opinion for what you will.

This guy believes

 

[Svechhammer]

It's crazy, in the arena as soon as we scored to make it 4-2, you could almost feel a belief of 'you know, we are gonna win this f***ing game' take hold.

This team is something else. Aho has broken out of whatever funk he was in earlier. Svech might not be scoring but he's absolutely tilting the ice and setting up multiple goals and chances a game. It's fun to watch

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I'm intrigued by Rod's willingness to experiment at the center position. Now, he just needs to give in and try Necas there. What harm will it do? He could even flank him and Svechnikov with Teravainen for defense. Stop fighting it.

I'm thinking it will happen eventually. But if you put him at 2nd line center now then who are you promoting to play on his wing? Kotkaniemi is horrible on the wing. Stepan, Stastny and Noesen aren't exactly good options either.

Necas to center would probably have to happen over the summer to give him, Rod and the front office adequate time to prepare for it.

 

[whiskers]

This team is so ridiculous.

Most of us have high blood pressure cause of them

 

[tarheelhockey]

Make that 23-3-3.

Timo Meier.

If Brindy can successfully convert either Turbo or Necas to center, he'll do what he did tonight: temporarily put Noesen on the wing (who's had an excellent year offensively). That would make the trade deadline much simpler in that the Canes can then focus on acquiring a big winger with term, of which the options are much more plentiful than at center.

 

[hblueridgegal]

So classic.
