Refs conferred and decided to call GI to look less stupid than blowing the whistle n an uncovered puck.

What wasn’t said… “We’re stupid. So we are calling GI. You can challenge if you want.”

Better than a make up call.

That Killorn+Dostal mash up is confusing me greatly.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

same move every time and he still manages to score

He’s just got such a long stick/reach. Didn’t look like he did everything he wanted and got enough to get it around the leg pad

 

[HanSolo]

Leo the fast playmaker. Cutter the fast sniper. Killorn the slow vet.

I think the ideal scenario is the line of the future is Cutter-Leo-Sennecke but I don't think Sennecke is as fast as the other two. Faster than Killorn at least.

I think we're starting to see guys take that next step and get some chemistry going. I know it's frustrating but just happy to see the improvements

 

[DucksFanDFW]

Don't look now, but we have 3 goals on the board... what's our record with 3 goals?

 

[Leonardo87]

Yeah if the mindset was "they don't have the chemistry we thought they would" it's a stupid reason not to keep trying them together. Cutter wasn't just struggling. His sloppy puck management and no look pass attempts targeted at trying to impress the coaches was not a chemistry issue. It was a development/adjustment issue for Cutter. Once Cutter cleaned his game up, they still weren't trying the pair with each other. And if chemistry was the reason it's all the more laughable considering how many games Killorn has been shackled to Leo's ankle.

But they really are a natural fit. Leo the pass first playmaker, Cutter the shoot first sniper. Both of them are super fast. It makes so much sense and we waited until there's 14 games left in the season to try it again.

Only thing that sucks about that PS goal, Cutter doesn’t get the assist. Cutter has the speed to skate with Leo, and he is going to shoot the puck. They just need a power forward on RW who can win puck battles, create space, and crash the net. That was Killorn about 5 years ago.

I think this is what happened too. Especially after the delayed penalty shot.

Bah gawd that's Sennecke's music! (I hope. We'll see how he plays when he fills out)

 

[Wheatens]

Cutter is explosive!

Also how about the touch on that pass to send Leo in alone?

Yeah Leo did well to read his intentions and interrupt the defenders still to get the pass. Same for Cutter when he went zooming to the o zone off a nice little exchange with Leo near the Ducks blue line. Would be cool if they start meshing - bodes well for the future.

 

[Leonardo87]

So they are up 3-2, going into the 3rd, you know what that means right?

 

[Terry Yake]

thank you philly for taking drysdale and gifting the ducks cutter

that trade is going to look real bad for philly very soon

 

[robbieboy3686]

Zelly REALLY struggling

He’s a small dude

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Big problem now is that we have a lead, an angry building, and what appears to be a very impressionable officiating crew. Perfect recipe for game management.

Stay disciplined guys

Yeah that line would be perfect, because Sennecke is a goalscorer and a playmaker.

A second line of McT-Z-Terry would be fun, too.

I agree but kind of wishful thinking. I think this organization is going to continue to insist on developing Mac as a center over Zegras due to...size I guess.

Don't even bring up the chelonians!!!

 

[HanSolo]

God forbid Killorn just reverse rim the puck.

 

[heynowbababooey]

Damn.

 

[duckaroosky]

I blame Leonardo

 

[HanSolo]

Booo

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

That better not be Zegras losing his man in the DZone because he unnecessarily extended ANOTHER shift for no reason

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Was that Vatrano's guy that was left alone and wide open in the slot?

 

[KelVarnsen]

So many breakdowns in the defensive end

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Harley has been wide open all game.
