GDT: Carolina @ Vegas 10PM EST

[Tryamw]

Svech Shoot And TT scores!

 

[A Star is Burns]

I don't know if Brindy has played the yell the paint off the walls card with the recent Vegas and St. Louis stinkers, but if not, intermission wouldn't be a bad time.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Suck it scoreless first period non-believers!

 

[Dishface]

Well then!

 

[Joe McGrath]

Turbo from goddamn Mars

 

[Tryamw]

Well the prediction was false..

 

[DougieSmash]

Pretty sure just expecting the result. Canes aren't showing me much to doubt that prediction.

At least, that was good jinx .

 

[Canes]

That's sort of deflating for Vegas especially since we didn't let them go right back and regain a 2 goal lead before the 1st intermission.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Nice knuckle puck from Turbo

 

[Justshootmore]

LOL, what was that?

What a goal

 

[A Star is Burns]

Much better than we deserve. I hope it wakes them up. Brindy still should tear them a new one.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

It’s goals like that that make you realize how dumb this sport is lol

 

[Tryamw]

Turbo from goddamn Mars

Other acceptable options far side of the moon Low earth orbit and China.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

It was either the audio cutting to the Vegas feed or we got a solid 5-10 seconds of broadcast from an alternate dimension. I hope the Canes are winning in that one.

This reminds me that I need to finish watching the man in the high castle

 

[Wolfpuck]

I’ll take that one. We have no business being in this game right now.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I think it’s uphill to get to Fleury.

2-0 is certainly uphill, but Fleury hasn’t been great this year.

 

[Tryamw]

Svech still needed to shoot that puck not force it to Aho..

(Joke post) So who gave Castle Cocaine... That can't possible be helpful...

 

[spockBokk]

It’s very frustrating watching H Fleury be, well, Hadyn Fleury, while they have a guy like Bean in the minors. Would love to see Bean up to help out the PP and, you know, maybe actually make a decent breakout pass...

 

[sctvman]

All the people on FB are talking about is Scotty McCreery sounding the Golden Knights siren.

 

[My Special Purpose]

2-0 is certainly uphill, but Fleury hasn’t been great this year.

Allow me to replay the lead-up to goal in my mind and why I believe I deserve some credit.

Shots were 4-4 at one point, next I noticed, they were 13-4. Then I noticed Marc-Andre Fleury doing some warm-up exercises in between faceoffs. I thought to myself, "if this was the Canes dominating play, Tripp would be making a big deal about the next shot on our goalie and how tough it is to go so long between shots." I continued to myself, "if we can just get *a* shot on Fleury, it has a chance to go in."

You're welcome.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

They really need to stop these slow-ass starts before it comes to bite them in the playoff race. Thankfully it's just 2-1 because of TT/Aho/Svech, so it's not irrecoverable.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I find it odd that the #6 defenseman is getting shit on the most here while the entire team completely f***ed dog the entire period.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Usually players on a UFA contract year play lights out, except canes' players. E. Staal, Ferland, and now Haula are leaving millions on the table. The last player I remember that played fantastic on the contract year here was Semin.

And we're literally *still* paying for that half-season.

I dunno about you, but I like it when a UFA makes our decision really easy.

Turbo from goddamn Mars

That went in because you whined about his shot.

Oh, and finally about Fleury. All of our defensemen are required to join the offense, make a good first pass, and keep tight gaps in the neutral zone. That's not Fleury's game. Fleury is a classic stay-at-home guy who's basically allergic to the puck. I think we'd be doing him a favor to get him to Anaheim, Winnipeg or Detroit or another club that prefers their defenders to defend and leave the scoring to the forwards.

I remember one guy who played for Anaheim complaining that on each defense pairing, there was one guy who was the outlet, and one guy who was the defenseman. When the defenseman got the puck, his *job* was to get it to the other guy. He was *not* to attempt a breakout pass. I know Maurice does something similar.

if that’s actually what’s going on he sure as shit shouldn’t be playing with Edmundson
