GDT: 2023-24 Other Games Around The League

[Alaskanice]

Can’t argue with that…

As good as the Sharks of old were, they didn’t have a lot of guys who were comfortable carrying the puck on their stick a lot, other than maybe Thornton. Guys like Marleau, Couture, Pavelski, Heatley, etc. were more of the one-touch type of passer, crash the net and clean up rebounds.

Kinda why Hertl and Meier were pretty refreshing to me. Hertl especially could hold the puck for days and no one could take it from him. I was watching some highlights of the 2017-2019 teams and Hertl was just incredible for those two years. It’s a shame his prime was so short, because he was legitimately a good 1C during that period.

It’s too bad he couldn’t stay healthy. He might have been that for many years.

I truly believe Hertl would have been a 50 goal superstar 2-way center if it weren't for Dustin Brown, his scoring pop never recovered after he lost his speed burst, and at only 20 years old

So glad that POS is out of the game, the league is a safer place without him

 

[Lebanezer]

Both these teams way over pass.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Bouchard with the giveway on the second goal, and now a terrible read on the third.

I guess it's going to be Broberg-Kulak's chance to bungle it in game 3!

 

[OrrNumber4]

It's amazing; no Barkov and look, McDavid gets a great look.

I don't like the Oilers right now...they are coming apart. Championship-caliber teams rarely do so.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Stuff like this is why I’ll never accept Evan Bouchard as a true #1D.

 

[The Nemesis]

Stuff like this is why I’ll never except Evan Bouchard as a true #1D.

But would you accept him?

 

[Bizz]

Oilers getting ragdolled like they're tanking for McDavid again

 

[Juxtaposer]

But would you accept him?

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

At least Nurse had a better game.

 

[weastern bias]

The Oilers are so unlikable, it's great seeing them fail on the biggest stage

[The McMafia]

At least Nurse had a better game.

With all of his 4:20 ice time. What a disaster.

 

[Lebanezer]

With all of his 4:20 ice time. What a disaster.

He got injured lol. Was tongue in cheek.

 

[The McMafia]

He got injured lol. Was tongue in cheek.

Oh. I thought he was just benched the entire game

 

[The Nemesis]

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

 

[Lebanezer]

Oh. I thought he was just benched the entire game

Which is a totally fair assumption given his play.

This series lacks world-beating defenseman. But, it's showing how a great offensive player who is suspect defensively can be a bigger liablity than a solid #2 like Forsling.

 

[ChompChomp]

Hey ESPN, I don't need a reminder that the Oilers have only won one best of 7 series ever after going down 2-0. They didn't have to even name the one team for me to feel the pain lol.

Anyone else feel like this quote is just weird?

You don't need an elite #1 anymore if you have good systems and depth. PIT proved it in 2017 and Vegas proved it again last year. FLA's depth is just better, defense and beyond.

"Best way to play defense, no give up puck."

"Best way to play hockey, score goal."

Florida has so much more balance across their lines than Edmonton....plus Bob's playing out of his mind.

I picked The Cats in 6 but one game (or more) in Edmonton like the last two and it's going to be over in 4 or 5....

So uhh... what happens if McJesus never wins a cup?

 

[sharski]

i am very much looking forward to evander kane not lifting the cup
