GDT: 9/27/13 - Hurricanes vs. Sabres - Now with 80% more injuries!

[My Special Purpose]

I wasn't able to catch it but what about the pk was what impressed? The added d? The forwards helping?

And the fact we scored our only goal shorthanded.

I think I'm getting a Dwyer away jersey.

I like our defense without Gleason/Komisarek.

I don't like our offense without Semin, Ruutu and Skinner.

I think we literally had more shots than the Sabres on their own power plays. The unit was moving well and they were successful in chipping the puck up ice for rushes, while still getting back safely.

That said, the Sabres PP unit seemed pretty neutered.

I'm wondering what we're going to do about that second line when some of our injured players get back. It sounds like Gerbe-J.Staal-Dwyer has a lot of chemistry.

 

[Hornswaggle]

Just noticed that Gerbe had 8 shots tonight. Wow, even if theyre not all great shots, that is certainly something.

 

[Zombie Mike Murphy]

It almost sounds like Gerbe is who we wish Skinner was. May not have the skill but has the hearts and hands that aren't total stone.

 

[TheOllieC]

Gerbe definitely likes to shoot that's for sure.

Im really liking the addition of Hainsey more and more. He really is solid in our end.

Skinner has hands of stone? Kid roofs backhands like they're tap ins.

Don't bother, wally. The anti-Skinner circlejerk is going full steam ahead these days. You aren't changing anyone's mind.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

I think he was saying that Gerbe doesn't have Skinner's skill but at the same time he (Gerbe) doesn't have hands of stone...

I really like Gerbe. I hope what we saw last night wasn't just him going extra balls to the wall to stick it to Buffalo. What we saw from him last night was what JR spent years trying to convince us that Chad LaRose was.

From what we saw of him against Montreal (at least via stream) it was more of the same apparently. Gerbe was ****ing everywhere in that game. Sadly couldn't make it last night (didn't get out of work until an hour after I was scheduled to ) but it sounds like he had the same kind of game as he did in Montreal.

 

[Wild Caniac]

Gerbe is the forgotten son of Ray Whitney and Chad LaRose.

I suspect that this is Gerbe as advertised and it will continue. the guy has skill, is reported to be in great condition and *has* to play "balls to the wall" to make it in this league because of his size. actually if played with offensively skilled players instead of in a checking role that has been typical of his career, I think he may put up alot of points.
