GDT: CAR-CGY

[A Star is Burns]

Meh. I think there was some good in the game. Staal line kinda blows at the moment. PP blows at the moment. Another softy that hopefully they get out of their system. And then a miscommunication on a pass in OT leads to the end. But honestly, 3 on 3 will always be a crapshoot. Next game will be interesting given the state of the opponent.

 

[MisterDobz]

Played one period, got one point. Sounds fair. Only 77 games until the playoffs!

 

[The Faulker 27]

I’m a little concerned that Burns might be shit

Well I mean, he's 37.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Where is he? Pulled? Ded?

Lmao I thought it was andersen in net the whole game. Was watching fron a bar.

The word on these broadcasts is we'll see more Raanta and less Andersen this year to "prevent him from getting overworked."

 

[Canes]

Burns is old as f*** but we still gotta give him some time. If he's playing this bad by this time next month, sure.. lay into him.

Rod making logical changes. Shocking

 

[A Star is Burns]

Burns sure looked good in the preseason against AHLers.

I think the team is trying to figure out how the new guys work and vice versa, such as the bad miscommunication on the Burns pass right before the OT goal. There are miscommunications like that frequently right now (like Burns trying to guide Necas the other night on the odd man rush and it didn't work). They'll figure those things out.

OT goal all because of a unforced turnover because of a terrible pass from burns.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Oh dear sweet baby Jesus the Canucks are winless and we’re playing them next…

No, he sucks and if you don't say he sucks I question your hockey intelligence. I don't have any myself but still.

I only saw the play live, but it looked like the player he was passing to went a direction as he was making the pass he didn't anticipate. And even so, it's 3 on 3. Shit happens.

 

[Borsig]

At this point I'd take f***ing Chatfield over pesce on PP2.

Dude he didnt even move on the game winning goal.

 

[The Faulker 27]

This team (expectedly) isn't quite gelling yet, and they have arguably the toughest start of any team, yet have 5 pts in 4 west coast games. It could be whole lot worse.

 

[larueskee]

Good question. I was told he was better than TDA and that I was wrong.

TDA has a goal and 5 points in 5 games. Burns is hopefully finding his way on a new team.

Yeah, I think it was Aho who decided to swoop back, and it caught him off guard. But Burns is a terrible old fart, didn't you get the memo?

I hear he's wearing a back brace under his jersey.

I enjoyed TDA while he was here, and rooting that he can keep it together, but if/when the Flyers start to string a bunch of losses together this season I wouldn't be shocked to see bad Tony come out.

TDA's performance really doesnt affect me since we know he will fold at the end of the season and in the slight chance that philly makes the playoffs.

Also, we can make excuses all we want, but the fact of the matter is the team was up 2-0 early, let off the gas, let Calgary come back, and then had 6 minutes of power play time in the 3rd period of a tied game.

A team that wants to compete for the Stanley Cup finds a way to win that game.

Yeah, I'm gonna just go out on a limb and say every team that's competed for the Cup like ever has lost a game like that.

 

[dogbazinho]

If you think for a moment this team has had 3 PP different primary QBs in 3 seasons, no such person on the 2nd PP and Jeff Daniels (i guess?) as our Power Play coach our PP really isn't that bad.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Obviously. It's not meant to be taken literally. It was more "A team that wants to compete for the Cup needs to put forth a better showing than they did tonight"

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

I AM MILDLY IRRITATED.

TDA contributed right away last year and never stopped. I know, I know - Im a TDA fanboi and that just GRINDS some here. I think he might be one of the best PMD passers in the league right now (when it comes to his offensive side) - and we let him go when we basically found his RFA rights on the ground outside of a NY subway entrance, and instead decided to keep the lemon car we bought for 1.25 mil over MSRP that sits in the shop because it's a piece of shit, and no dealer will take it in on trade.
And that grinds the absolute shit out of me. It's one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen us make in the off season. You could have still had your 37 year old defenseman that was elite 5 years ago, and kept TDA. But you traded his rights for nothing. And yeah, as a person I like Burns. As a player, he is NOT showing what we needed on the PP, we still have no PP2 QB and he's no better than TDA defensively.

What we should have done is released the Bear into the woods, kept TDA as the pp1 QB, and made Burns pp2 QB. You could have found the 1.5M somewhere to do that. It's not hard.

Don't make excuses for Burns. If TDA would have made the same mistake(S) last year he would have been crucified and burned on the stake with a pile of firewood made from " I TOLD YOU SO's" at his feet. We f***ed up. I hope it works out, but Burns looks old and slow so far. Sorry, he does.
