GDT: DIRTYASS SEAGULLS @ HOUSE OF THE STORM

[WreckingCrew]

So will Smith and Jarvis get a game I figure Raanta will

Will Smith playing?

 

[cptjeff]

I don't think there's any urgency to get Brendan Smith in. He's been around the league for a long time and they know what he can bring. If somebody's hurt, he'll get his chances, but he's a 7D and knows it.

Jarvis is a rookie, and they don't really know what they have, and they know that for his development he needs some reps at NHL speed. They know they need to work him in.

Will Smith playing?

Well the Canes are going to be the Men in Black in their alternates tonight.

 

[Lempo]

Will Smith playing?

Healthy scratch. I heard he's going to Miami.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Healthy scratch. I heard he's going to Miami.

Sounds like he's been a Bad Boy

 

[Crazydounut]

Don't lose to this organization tonight. It would be a nightmare

Jarvis would be good for the Sunday game, when all the vets are probably looking ahead to trick-or-treating/partying.

LA didn't work out for him, I guess.

Should be an easy win if we don’t take any downtrodden team lightly. If you do, that’s how you lose games like these. Will be interesting to see what Raanta can do.

Chicago at least looked frisky the other night. Might have been the Leafs effect but we should just bring it and stomp them. Especially pressure Seth Jones with how poorly he is playing. Kinda crazy that our average margin of victory right now is about 3 goals a game.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Seth Jones is the ultimate example of someone who is good at things that are photogenic, but aren't actually helpful in winning hockey games. Kind of like Joe Corvo and his 1-on-5 rushes that looked great but would lead to him turning it over, ie no actual o-zone pressure.

So Seth Jones will have the puck in the d-zone, take the hit, battle on the boards for 20 seconds, "win", immediately turn it over and lead to chances against while Hamilton will skip all of that by avoiding the hit and outleting the puck to the forward in the neutral zone. In conclusion: Jones >>>> Hamilton because Jones will take the hit to make the play while Hamilton is a wuss who shies away from contact.

Who’s this Hamilton dude folks keep bringing up? Was he on our previous 6-0 team?

No, you're leaving Miami if you've been a bad boy.

 

[AD Skinner]

If the canes lose it will be a nightmare on my street

It's a pig I think.

 

[Chrispy]

In honor of Halloween, I think a further costumed version may be more appropriate.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Chicago gave us some fits last year at times. Need to not let up after a big win against Boston.

 

[surfzone365]

No need looking for a pulse this evening...

[surfzone365]

I remember the games where we were winning (and should have won) but wound up losing.

 

[Borsig]

Nothing is easy in the NHL>. Please do not ever have this mentality

That's why I caveated that statement with "...if we don’t take any downtrodden team lightly"

 

[Incubajerks]

Not in our house.
