GDT: Around the League 2023-24: The Marathon Becomes A Sprint

[oXo Cube]

Hellebuyck just hasn't come up with any key stops at any point in this series.

 

[CupofOil]

Goaltending is just completely freaking random. Long gone are the days of Hasek, Roy, Brodeur etc. when you knew what you were getting most nights. You could be a 3rd stringer and win playoff games nowadays like Vancouver or a backup then win a Cup like Vegas or win a Cup with a completely average goalie like Colorado.

 

[oobga]

Leave MacKinnon alone right in front lol.

 

[TheNumber4]

Avs offence is just overwhelming. Speed, execution, and hockey IQ. And smart deadline adds to shore up some weakness.

He’s done all the bad things that we usually criticize Skinner for.

Funny because Hellebucyk is supposed to be the top end comparable for Skinner.

 

[Oilhawks]

Bye Felicia

 

[CupofOil]

Colorado is an offensive machine, I think they're just as good as they were a few years ago tbh. Adding guys like Middlestat and Trenin really improved their depth and they have the best top 5 in the league.

 

[TheNumber4]

No chance for Helly on that one. I could see Skinner being blamed for that though.

Meanwhile, Holland took the Friday off

Hellebucyk is too fat to play goal. Slow moving across, poor anticipation, non chalant and lacks focus.











Did I do it right?

 

[oobga]

Looks like Lowry woke Rantanen up. Not the opposite.

Get out while you still can Jets fans!

If Middelstadt works out as a Kadri replacement, and it looks like it is. And Walker continues to fit so well in their system. They probably just as strong as they were in the Cup year.

I shouldn’t be surprised that one of the best pro scouting franchises keyed in on exactly what they needed.

 

[bellagiobob]

Jets are what they always have been, a meh team that shits the bed in the playoffs. And their best player has crapped his pants in back to back years.

What’s the engineering explanation for what went wrong?

 

[TheNumber4]

Meanwhile, Holland took the Friday off

Pretty much. But he probably spent some time Friday crossing his fingers for eberle to fall in his lap.

What’s the engineering explanation for what went wrong?

Boeing shareholders and corporate greed?

 

[Porkleaker]

oh no, Makar is dead?

 

[bellagiobob]

They finally hit Makar when the series is over. Well done Jets.

 

[TheNumber4]

Nice. Atleast Jets rocked Makar. Not completely useless.

 

[lopper]

The Avs attack in waves that can overwhelm most teams. Before playoffs started I figured they were the west favorite. Hopefully they can get banged up a bit in the next round if the future path to the cup for the Oil is a third round meetup

 

[OfCorsiDid]

What’s the engineering explanation for what went wrong?

Inadequate design. Execution and protoyping was worse than expected.

Best management in the league and they do it without the LTIR shenanigans that the other best management team in the league thrives on.

 

[Cloned]

Galley knows you can’t just shoulder someone without the puck right?

That should be a interference penalty lol

 

[TheNumber4]

Probably his spleen. Get the Vegas doctors

 

[BlackDogg]

Jets getting stomped by Colorado. Signs of spring
