GDT: 2024-25 other games around the league

[Roasted Nuts]

Go back further. Fowler, Theodore, and Montour. Seems like a pattern, no?

Yep, what a shame. Such a waste of talent by trading away those players. The ducks could’ve easily became Nashville 2.0 just by holding onto their defenseman.

Thankfully, they also keep hiring shit coaches, which is a big part of why these defensemen don't develop properly.

Granlund with a nice assist today to tie the game 2:2.

Hawks win!

Time for delicious hate -- Hutson 0/0/0/1SOG, 5 OZ starts, 5 NZ starts, 0 DZ starts, 13 fly starts, 60% of shot attempts blocked,

To be fair (Hodge wouldn't, I shouldn't) he had 22min TOI, decent possession numbers, and 4 takeaways to 1 DZ giveaway.

1 point back in 9 fewer games is not a bad place to be. I do think a defenseman scoring the same amount as a forward should give voters some level of pause when figuring out how to use their vote, but there are other biases that will work in Celebrini's favor as well.

For sure. If the rate holds:

• 26 games for Hutson @ 0.73ppg = 19 more points = 60 points.
• 25 games for Celebrini @ 0.89ppg = 22 more points = 62 points.

Given a higher PPG at a harder position and playing 1C, plus the draft pedigree, I think he wins it. But... anything could happen, injuries, hot streaks, cold streaks. Optimistically for our bro, Hutson's current rate is far below 0.73ppg while Celebrini's has stayed pretty stable.

God I hope Canada loses and Binnington just gets lit up all tournament,

 

[fasterthanlight]

ngl, even though this tournament doesn't matter, it's nice to see the pace/effort; I was afraid for an ASG-esque effort

 

[fasterthanlight]

They keep calling it best on best but Celebrini and Eklund aren't there so I'm a bit confused

 

[Hodge]

Smart play by Kempe to knock Shea Theodore out of the Kings-Vegas first round series.

 

[BobGoblinn]

ngl this is more fun than i expected it to be

 

[Great Makohead Shork]

When Dahlin inevitably gets O'Reillyed / Eicheled I really hope we make a play for him. Not gonna be surprised when he's the next big time ex-Sabre to hoist a cup. Poor Buffalo fans

 

[fasterthanlight]

Dahlin is much less cerebral and much more smash than I thought; I haven't watched him a lot.

I'm definitely rooting against Canada so they feel compelled to make roster changes for the olympics.

 

[The Nemesis]

God I am so sick of Sweet Caroline... It sucked as a fake "tradition" in Boston and it sucks that everyone else is hopping on the bandwagon.

 

[The Nemesis]

It's crazy how much more fun 3-on-3 is when it's not like 80% backskating to neutral zone for zone resets.

 

[The Nemesis]

15,000 Habs fans cheer for Mitch Marner then immediately throw up in their mouths.

 

[Hodge]

Lol Sweden was clearly trying to avoid playing Karlsson that entire overtime and then he finally steps on the ice and immediately costs them the game. Classic.

 

[The Nemesis]

I liked this more than I thought I would. Is it pointless? Sure. But it was entertaining. I'd be cool for them to do this every couple of years. Maybe if it is going to displace the ASG do a kickoff skills competition between the 4 teams so that they retain the actual worthwhile part of the all-star weekend. It doesn't have to be the whole event list from current ASGs, maybe just swipe the throwback/traditional list that the AHL uses.

 

[YUPPY 2 7 10 11]

Canada vs Sweden seemed somewhat scripted, or at the very least, Canada may not have wanted to completely blowout Sweden. Perhaps Coach Copper didn’t want to reveal all his cards in the first game. With all the talent on Team Canada, the score realistically could have been 15-3.

 

[matt trick]

Late to the party, but the speed and intensity was a pleasant surprise. So much better than the All-Star game. Also, man Crosby can still play can't he.
