GDT: Ducks @ Devils - 7:00 PM - MSG

[Aurinko]

Haula’s an interesting case. He’s taken a lot of heat since he’s arrived but really he’s a fine and dandy 3C

Heat when?

I remember the Devils time as a time when he hasn't taken any heat at all. He hasn't done anything amazing, but has done solid job in versalite roles in pk,pp, faceoffs, 2nd line forechecker or 3rd line sniper. I remember the time he played with Jack as where he was the most valuable, by letting Jack create and build his confidence.

That was a dirty hit by Gudas. Can you call it a hip check when you submarine a guy at the knees with your ass?

I’m not saying this is representative of common opinion but there are at least a few vocal people who like to bring up their opinion that Zacha is a significantly better player than Haula at times.

I've missed those. I don't feel like not liking the trade is enough to be considered heat or criticism to Haula. Just because someone considers Zacha the better player doesn't mean Haula has done bad.

You do see my name right?

I wasn’t posting it to call you or anyone out since it wasn’t about you. I purposefully left it out so that it wasn’t acting as a dig or criticism at your opinion.

I didn’t want it to be a bash or critique of the poster(in this case you) but just showing there are definitely some Haula heat takes on the board.

Not very impressed with beating the Ducks. Seems that we’ve only beaten some of the weaker teams in the NHL. Hopefully this road trip will help the team bound and they have a successful trip. Happy for Nico, having a great season so far. Let’s hope he can stay healthy.

This is a case where they took care of business in convincing fashion. There isn't a ton more I think you can ask for out of that game. Absolute bummer Lazar got hurt.

Also, **** it, throw Casey out there as a center. He's got the mind and the skill to make it work. Only mostly kidding.

Take care of business with the team in front of you. They largely beat the Red Wings into the ground but got undid by poor goaltending. The Islander game ultimately could have gone either way and they responded to each deficit with a goal and narrowly won it first in OT.

Last night, they responded to an early goal against by dominating the next 35-40 minutes. Let off the gas in the 3rd when they were up 5-1, but Keefe even stated outright that he hated their 3rd period.

I think that things are starting to improve, even if the results were not what we wanted in the 2 outings before this. They need to continue with the process and I think results will tip back in our favor. Especially if the goaltending holds up.

I know you weren't calling me out at all. I only turned in a Zacha jock sniffer because of how many people were calling him out on here. I only bash Haula because I will not tolerate any belittling of the clear cut MVP of the Devils when he lead th team in scoring!

 

[theoptimist]

Tyler Johnson IMO

Would be major addition but Bruins are original six. Would love for us to beat out teams for him.

Notable "defensive liability" Luke Hughes with 0.05 xGA last night, 0 SOG against at 5v5.

Highest xGF% 5v5 on the team I believe also last night? Pesce 2nd. Great game yesterday. Unfortunate he wasn't rewarded on the scoresheet, but that'll come.

 

[Xirik]

Casey played Center a bit in college, He can take Lazar's spot.

 

[Cheddabombs]

It is almost a shame how well Siegs-Kovy and Luke-Pesce (though much smaller sample size for them) have played, because Dillon and Dougie are doodoo.

Maybe you just keep them all together for but really scale back Dillon and Dougie's minutes to be like a 3rd pair.
