GDT: #50|Pens vs. Flyers "Can I Play With Madness"|Tue, Jan.21 7:00PM|WFC

[HandshakeLine]

I mean, the unsaid point of having a mascot these days is troll the opposing team a bit, so I think Gritty was a genius choice there.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Incidentally, I'd like to see the Habs go with a Quebecois separatist mascot just to watch TSN explode into a ball of rage.

 

[Beau Knows]

The best insult I can give about the Flyers is that they don't even enter my thoughts anymore. Just a fading memory.
They're so whatever.

Haven't won a playoff series since 2012.

45 year Cup drought.

We are only human

 

[chethejet]

Pens get through the game and get almost everyone back for the game after the break. Schultz, Bjugstad, Kahun seem to be ready by then. Dumo maybe second week of February. Flyers will tease the Metro with a run and the Flyers neanderthals will proclaim the flyers are back baby. Then they lose some games and then the court order to exhume Ed Snyder.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Also, before this gets locked pre-game, I'd like to add my kudos to @Ugene Malkin's amazing GDT. You are killing it, hombre!

Thanks...! HSL.

I get it right every now and then. You have to go through a lot of bad and put some effort in like I did over the years to come away with some really nice ones. This, back in the day would have taken me forever, not as crisp, grainy. A lot of cheating at work. These kids today would smoke me. A couple hours for me they'd have done in 15/20 minutes. Maybe less.

Speaking of:

For those out there. We can always use help in the GDT sector. I am going to @everyone I can think of who's done GDT's in the past for Marchs schedule to try and fill the heavy 16 games that month. Get ready for the playoffs. Just 1 GDT is all I'm asking for. No tasking anyone for multiple GDT selections.

If I can do this there are a lot of you out there who can, too. They don't have to be this, but if you want to try there are a lot of programs out there to do the heavy lifting. Help is always there from regulars for those who need it.

I don't even use Photoshop. I'm a dinosaur.

Imgur for hosting. It's free, as is the above programs. Maybe an odd program here or there if I find something, but those are my go to places.

Don't let this scare you away, they don't have to be this elaborate, and I make mistakes. All. The. Time.

Okay, done with recruiting.

Thanks for looking, hope to see some of you in the GDT sign-up thread.

 

[Ugene Magic]

It's always welcome. I just want better listening versions. I listen to them as I go through the GDT. Not really watching them.

You can't embed an 8-track.

Exactly HSL.

I try to do remastered versions for better quality listening.

 

[Ugene Magic]

I definitely think those are more likely to be the lines than Horny stuck on L4 with Blandisi and Ag or something...

Maybe, but that's exactly where's he's tech. been.

Gally, Agozzino, Hornqvist

3 games straight.

 

[Andy99]

Gally, Agozzino, Hornqvist

Yeah, but Kahun wasn't injured then...with Kahun injured, we really don't have a top 6 LW unless BOTH Simon and McCann play LW...even if you move Gally up, neither Blandisi or Ag are LWs or at least have played LW here...I don't know if Sully would do that as opposed to playing Simon and Horny with Sid...

 

[Malkinstheman]

 

[pistolpete11]

Simon - Crosby - Hornqvist
McCann - Malkin - Rust
ZAR - Blueger - Tanev
whatever combination of Chucky, Blandisi, Agozzino. Doesn't really matter, they will probably only get 6min.

Seems most logical to me

 

[Malkinstheman]

Damn no Schultz

 

[HandshakeLine]

Damn no Schultz

I’m cool with that that though. I’d expect Schultz to struggle a bit coming back so might as well give him the break to get back up to speed in practice.

 

[Andy99]

I really want Jarry to start giving up less than three goals per game...some bad habits throughout the whole team defensively has been creeping up in January ..can’t count on always outscoring the opponent...

 

[DesertPenguin]

Might as well get Schultz an extra week of conditioning before throwing him back into the fire. Hopefully Bjugs is back by then, and Kahun's bell has been un-rung.

Hey, maybe GMJR can even pull off a trade and shoot Chucky into the sun?

McCann - Crosby - Simon
Trade - Malkin - Rust
Kahun - Bjugstad - Hornqvist
ZAR - Blueger - Tanev
Lafferty

Try the above until the TDL. If it works, great. If it doesn't, move Bjugs and bring back a LW to allow McCann to slide back down.

Oui.
They are not even dogs worthy, just measly peasant Cats. Helpless sad Cats. Beggars of the NHL Universe to be right as rain once more.

 

[ColePens]

Damn no Schultz

I have been wrong on every goalie start. Trust in Sully. He has earned it. But man am I on a separate page.

this is the first one that's made me actually question what he's thinking. It felt like giving Murray the Sunday game had a point to it. Now, it just seems sorta random

 

[ownal]

We have a 1A/1B tandem.

 

[cheesedanish87]

These games right before the break are almost impossible to predict.

You don't know which teams are motivated to win and which ones are already checked out and in vacation mode.

Usually these games involve very little hitting because none of these players want to get banged up right before going on vacation.

Poor Hornquist. I'd rather have had the pens called up Adam Johnson. Last, I saw Iron Maiden on the Can I play with Madness tour, and Steve Harris rules. Go pens beat the Cryers tonight.

We have a 1A/1B tandem.

I think @ownal may be correct. Sully has said it before, too. He feels we have a 1A/1B. This is so weird to me. I figured the way it went, was an attempt to get #30 back to #1. He delivered a freaking excellent 2nd/3rd period and you would want to run that high. Instead they must have committed to this flip/flop each game. That didn't work under #29/#30. Maybe it works here.

 

[Richard]

Starting Jarry is the right move. Period
