GDT: Game 18: Coyotes @ Blues - 6PM - FSAZ

[mouser]

That was about the most uninspired shootout attempt I've ever seen by Stepan.

 

[Muppet]

What dafuq was that Derek

 

[RemoAZ]

Stepan needs to come up with something

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

Stepan looked as lazy in the So as he does during the game

 

[Muppet]

Ah well, we got a loser point against the Blues when we all pretty much expected a blowout. I'll gladly take it.

 

[CC96]

That was about the most uninspired shootout attempt I've ever seen by Stepan.

That fat bastard was daydreaming about nachos and hot dogs.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

As this point Dvorak is pretty much far and away the best center on this team

 

[RemoAZ]

BRING BACK STROME!

Just in case the kid GM checks the boards as he's losing sleep.

 

[_Del_]

We played hard most of the game again. Baby steps, I guess.

 

[SniperHF]

And he's just been okay, though improving lately. Funny how we constantly have the same problem

I'd sign Raanta based off that OT period, he earned a contract.

I'd bench Stepan's dumb ass, because a couple smart plays with your stick doesn't make up for entire games of laziness.

 

[rt]

I can't figure out this Duclair thing. Why the f***? He's productive. Stepan has been fat lazy trash and hasn't done shit in twelve straight games. Duke sits. Stepan gets first line minutes, OT minutes, and shootout chances. What the f*** is this double standard?

 

[mouser]

BRING BACK STROME!

Just in case the kid GM checks the boards as he's losing sleep.

Nothing wrong with letting Strome overcook for a while in the AHL. At this point it's more about what's best for his long term development.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Shame not to win this one; team deserved that moral boost.

We need Hammer back more than ever

 

[rt]

I think even Hinterland would have to admit he's been above average.

Yeah but he's a Finn. And you know Finns. They cheat at cards and most of them secretly smoke cigarettes.

 

[moosemeister]

Ended up watching the game because my plans to be at the cards game fell through.

Great effort from everyone not named Stepan. He had as much effort on that shootout attempt as his hair did holding on.

Why isn't Perlini on the shootout line up is beyond me.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

And he's just been okay, though improving lately. Funny how we constantly have the same problem

Stepan has taken over double the offensive zone FO's over the next highest center and has a grand total of 7 points

Not good

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

Also Reider looks done as hell

The lopsided deployment is a carryover from Tocchet's days with players like Crosby and Malkin. The Coyotes don't have a line that strong. He has yet to adjust.

 

[moosemeister]

Also Reider looks done as hell

Yes. Its time to bench him.

 

[rt]

I would trade Derek Stepan for Filip Chytil in an instant.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Also Reider looks done as hell

Yeah, he does. That bent-over style he plays worked well when he had speed, but I guess that injury robbed him of some of that. Pretty sure the convo with his agent will be a different story this time around.

 

[moosemeister]

His butthole agent will still command some ridiculous contract.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Best 2 win team in the league. At least they lost in a well played, tight game instead of the chuck and duck.

 

[rt]

Yeah, he does. That bent-over style he plays worked well when he had speed, but I guess that injury robbed him of some of that. Pretty sure the convo with his agent will be a different story this time around.

Yeah, it'll be with a different team.
