GDT: VIII | "Afternoon Delight" | Oilers @ Avs | 2.2.13 | 1PM | SNET-W

[Horseradish]

Credit to Sacco with his work with a pretty depleted Avs team. They've got a hell of a forecheck, at the very least.

`19:01 into the 3rd period and the first thing they do is rush it all the way through the neutral zone , as i said earlier we have two adjustments to make, one is stopping that rushing man as Fistric did and second is to pressure their first shooter way more to stop the deflections, we need to turn those upice for breakaways.

This is a good time for Hall to use a few rushes to go for a garbage goal , he needs to take it to the hoop, we need a PP and the refs suck, so we need to generate the calls with hard dirty work, just greenlight Taylor to go all the way in for the rest of the game.

 

[dustrock]

Book on Oilers is push them to the outside. They pass east-west and don't take many point shots.

 

[Mr Forever]

Holy crap get it going

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

I don't know yak just stops skating there. Sometimes he gives up on the play too easy

Greenlight Yakupov and J.Schultz as well

 

[Soundwave]

Good pressure finally.

 

[Worraps]

No puck luck today.

 

[dustrock]

Varlamov having a great game

 

[tv14]

Can our top line friggen bury something... jeez..

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

Belanger high sticked

 

[Horseradish]

If they keep up this kind of pressure, the Oilers'll get one. C'mon boys,

 

[Spawn]

Getting outworked. Not good. Top line looks good and then the 2nd and 4th lines get caught out there not connecting on a pass.

 

[Wheathead]

Refs gotta call high sticking. They're missing a ton out there.

>!?

Oh god, please give your head a shake. Hemsky has been a tough opposition outscorer his whole career. He's had a couple of weaker games this season, but his effort most nights is right up there with Gagner, and we've all commented on how hard Gagner's been working.

If you look at that stat card, he's had 2 giveaways and 2 takeaways this season. Even if that's slightly off, it's still a lot better than the majority of forwards on this team. Give your Hemsky hate a rest because your facts don't match the reality.

Hemsky will not cost this team playoffs. Our D? Maybe.

Gives your eyes glasses.

Stat card shots 2 givesaways and 2 takeaways!? Stat card tells you all about how good or bad a player played in a game!?

Hemsky doesn't give enough defensive efforts to be a player on a playoff team.

Hemsky has amazing puck carrying ability because of his puckhandling skill speed, and agility. However, he is a liability defensively because he doesn't get involved defensively. He will swing his stick around but doesn't bear down like Nuge to sticklift, he doesn't use his body like Eberle to get in the way, he doesn't go to the point to get in the way of a shot.

Check the stat card if you think stat card tells all. Hemsky is -4 with 1 block shots for the year. Gagner and even Yakupov has 3 block shots.

 

[Mr Forever]

I'm so sick of these two commercials

 

[DrDrai]

I wish we would finish our checks on the forecheck, just hammer the guy and battle below the redline.

 

[Horseradish]

Great save by Dubey there.

People always complain about how he goes down to early-- well on that one he stayed up and JUST caught it with his shoulder. Nice to see him learning from mistakes.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Our top line is so due for a goal or two as is J. Schultz.

 

[McDNicks17]

Yuck, Smid.

 

[molsonmuscle360]

Yup. They miss 3 consecutive high sticks against the Oilers, and then call a weak one on Smid.

 

[Horseradish]

When did Telus stop using animals in their commercials? They had those for YEARS.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

No puck support for hall

Then Smid gets burned. Duchene goes down easy but thsts always called

 

[DrDrai]

nice dive, i know its a penalty but that was still a dive
