GDT: Game 19: Ducks @ Coyotes - 7PM - FSAZ+ - Miracle Day

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Honestly, I think Dvo would be a neat pick for captain one day. He does the whole “quiet leading by example” thing much more effectively than OEL and he’s such a calm and DGAF presence on a team that too often looks like it’s running around with its head cut off.

It's so funny how salty people get when their team loses to us. Honestly one of the best parts of winning, there's just something about us that triggers opposition fanbases.

I've gotten sooo much entertainment from visiting their GDT after their loses.

Mess of a game. Just a dog's dinner out there but I'll take the W and the fight back. Looking forward to seeing what comes of it next game.

Chychrun, Garland, Dvorak sounds like a great leadership group.

58% of our goals this year have come from Schmaltz, Dvorak, Garland, and Kessel. 69% if you include Keller.

Giggity.

Please note: the Chipchura approved GDT was a winner. I have to travel back east this week and may not be able to post. Mom and Dad aren't able to safely take care of themselves so they're moving into a nursing home. Me and my sibs need to get their condo ready to be sold.

I say we go with ghetto Datsyuk until he loses.

Was Dvo relied on as an actual leader on London? I'd happily pick him to wear an A but I'm curious about his actual leadership. Garland and Chychrun both seem like they could become great leaders on this team.

Yeah I know..... it's Todd Walsh...... and it's Miracle Day......

Which is both a positive and a negative. Need more scoring from the bottom 6, and our defense has tallied only 5 goals, 4 of which are Chychrun.

Remember when our d-corps was one of the top scoring in the league?

Our first game under Tocchet we blew a huge lead to the Ducks. The opposite in this case.

I wish they were nice little book ends on his coaching career and we were firing his ass.

 

[Jakey53]

It absolutely kills me to see how far OEL has fallen. But I'd still like to see him under a new coach before moving him.

OEL is fine, his contract is not.

 

[Jamieh]

OEL is fine, his contract is not.

That's kinda a big deal when a guy makes $8 plus million. Fine is not good enough.

 

[MIGs Dog]

What has surprised me most is how quickly OEL has lost his speed. His early years you almost never saw anyone turn the corner on him. His goal production is down, but too few games played by him to cast too much criticism. Those 10 goal seasons may be a thing of the past.

Not sure if he's out of shape but he looks like he's dogging it most of the game. Effort is very disappointing but I haven't seen him dive yet so there's that.

I think they rushed him back. I thought he looked better last night than the two King's games. It's still a long ways to go for prime OEL but hope he can start getting closer to that. 6 assists in 8 games isn't bad either.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Just remember Garland, all the animals are equal, but animals some are more equal than others.

Four legs good, two legs better.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

I need Oesterle to get hot. He's killing my fantasy team.

A few games back, the wife overheard scouts sitting next to us saying the toaster looks disinterested this season.

 

[Grimes]

By the way, Zegras was interesting. I saw a lot of Hayton in him, smart plays, had a couple of chances that caught other players off guard. He seemingly was either ahead of other players or slightly behind them in decision making which is what I see Hayton struggling with offensively. Much zippier than I expect and a little bit like a cross between Schmaltz and Point. Much more slender than he looked playing against peers though. Will need to fill out because his jersey looked like it was hanging off him, ha.

I need some new fantasy scouts.

OEL likes to keep his enemies close and it often works defensively, but there are countless times I'd rather see him just go ahead and beat his man to the puck, thus removing self imposed drama.
