GDT: 3/22/2014, Carolina Hurricanes at Winnipeg Jets: Thank You for Being a Friend Edition

[Anton Dubinchuk]

lol, what? Cam went down in another two pad stack, that got waved off?

Should be a goal on account of two-pad stack.

 

[bleedgreen]

Hard to play goal with Andre the giant sitting on you.

 

[cptjeff]

That's unquestionably Goaltender Interference.

 

[bleedgreen]

Well the entirety of his enormous ass was in the blue paint by his own volition. It definitely deserved to be blowed down, hard to say if it was truly interference but there was no way for ward to get back in the play.

He was sitting on Ward's blocker, Ward couldn't have gotten up if he wanted to.

 

[Woodrow]

wow Cam Ward

 

[garnetpalmetto]

What's the Gatorade you're drinking? Oof. Tripp clearly not up on his references.

 

[TheOllieC]

If Winnipeg is gonna score they need to score twice because losing in overtime is pointless.

Yeah that's what I said about Andre the giant earlier.

That's kinda the definition for what's truly goaltender interference. If you're in the paint and prevent the goaltender from making the play... Buf sitting on Ward's arm is about as clear cut as it gets IMO.

I kinda agree, but I don't think there was any intent to be on the blocker he just fell backwards. It's a 50/50 call, I think he HAD to blow it down due to the crease violation and took away the goal. That's the important thing. He may not have seen the blocker underneath, as the rest of ward was available to get up but with buff there he had no room thus the blow down. Multiple looks by replay show ward was partially pinned, but there's a lot going on there to see and buff got knocked back by our d. That's probably why it wasn't called as interference and just a crease violation. He went in on his own though. I don't know, tough call but we got the right result.

Big problem on the play was Faulk getting absolutely worked on that cutback by wheeler.

 

[TheOllieC]

Someone get Faulk a snickers, he plays like Corvo when he's hungry.

Side note, I'm loving the Godzilla commercial when he drops the ping pong paddle and gestures "what's up".

 

[Wild Caniac]

That was the most satisfying win I have seen us win all year.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

1st Star - Cam Ward
2nd Star - Cam Ward
3rd Star - Cam Ward

IMO.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Nice win by Wardo. Stellar play. Overall a nice game - wish Skinner would have scored on that breakaway.

Clearly justhereforthefights and The Golden Girls bring good GDT juju!

 

[bleedgreen]

Ward makes his statement.

He was unbelievable.

 

[cptjeff]

Wouldn't it be nice if that's the loss that keeps the Jets out of the playoffs?

 

[TheOllieC]

So does Cam Ward still have negative value?

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Wouldn't it be nice if that's the loss that keeps the Jets out of the playoffs?

That would be the bee's knees.

Tracy blathering on about saves of the *week*..lol. at least one, maybe two were candidates for 'save of the year'....


Muller has run the same zone exit all year that usually loses them games and almost lost this one.

good entertaining game overall tonight though.

 

[Unsustainable]

Missed the game, I'm too busy with the wedding stuff. Ugh

Jets had a 1.9% chance before the game. I think they were already done.

I think it was more about the players simply being exhausted. From about the 10 minute mark onward in the 3rd period, they couldn't do anything but dump it out of the zone.

and.......it begins... wait till the little one comes...



so Ward was interviewed on TSN and was like a little kid who couldn't stop giggling.
who knows for sure but maybe they/he are considering Winnipeg as a destination. anyways, he sure was happy.
