GDT: Vs San Jose Sharks

[VivaLasVegas]

I think as well, maybe it's a mental thing, but Thompson is a battlier, he fight for the puck... Panda is largely just positional which doesn't give of the same energy.

Among big goalies, the Panda seems to get out of position much more than the rest. In fact, he's seems to be the most energetic when moving himself out of position.

Well, energetic until it's time to stop lying on the ice.....

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Sharks back on their heels, aggressive in hacking at the puck and blocking passes, but not particularly interested in moving it into the offensive zone.

 

[IceNeophyte]

They should be throwing sticks and gloves if we score again.

True. It's painful watching him get back up.

 

[hangman005]

Patches should have shot that, one pass too many.

 

[hangman005]

I've missed what Carrier brings.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Saw that coming. They started to tank and not be aggressive trying just to run out the period.

 

[IceNeophyte]

So much for breathing easy the rest of the game

You'd think eventually we'd learn we can't do that.

One of the hallmarks of the DeBoer era.

Not learning lol

 

[VivaLasVegas]

You can almost hear DeBoer thinking, "We're up by two, so let's just get into the intermission and we'll be in good shape." So they stop being aggressive in moving the puck into the offensive zone, and essentially go into a 5-5 PK, and of course the other team scores. One would presume that after this happens enough, DeBoer would eventually figure out that he's better just keeping the gas on ...... but he doesn't.

It is particularly crazy when the situation exists here where the Sharks were themselves back on their heels and just trying to play their own defense. It's a really bad decision to let the foot off the gas in that situation, but DeBoer just did.

 

[IceNeophyte]

It sometimes feels like you can set the clock by this team giving up a late period goal.

 

[hangman005]

Hopefully we put our foot back on the gas in the 3rd.

 

[IceNeophyte]

I need to see a 5-2 lead.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Kolesar out?

 

[hangman005]

We need some urgency.... also we know it was the Sharks not us that are on the back to back.

 

[hangman005]

Decline!!!!
