GDT: Game 2 - Late Night with Mike & Tripp gets started early this year - Canes @ SJ

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Well, that was hairier that I had hoped for, but a win is a win.

Happy weekend all

 

[VAcaniac]

That was scary. 2-0!

October Metro Champs back-to-back-to-back here we come..

 

[Svechhammer]

Welp, Raanta earned that one

 

[Rick Davis]

Happy Hanna and SeaBass!

 

[A Star is Burns]

Little slow to start again, but still mostly a good game. Always great to win.

 

[Wolfpuck]

That sweet 2-0 feel.

Two pts in the bank. They stuck it out until the skill level gap caught up and made the difference, which is what good teams are capable of. Good game, moving on!

 

[tarheelhockey]

Definitely the kind of game where you’d rather win ugly than lose ugly.

Happy Hanna and SeaBass!

The shipper in me at first thought..oh they'd make a cute little couple

 

[cptjeff]

Again I don’t disagree, and maybe it was a stat thrown out there in jest. I don’t see it being the last one we see.

DAMMIT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ARGUMENT.

Anyway, cheers and goodnight. See ya for the next one. Well, and for all the idle chatter in between.

Perfect summation …. Agree

Don’t forget to set your alarm clocks to get up for the 8am start of the FA Cup game…. First chance to see Wrexham play live on ESPN after the Welcome to Wrexham documentary….

It really is incredible how this team starts seasons during this golden age. Keep it going.

They did find the legs as it went on. Much like I mentioned about Colorado in another thread, this was an easy game to just lose and move on. Only a day to travel out west and get acclimated, playing a team that's a cornered animal in their home opener. But they just found a way.

I've said it so many times at this point, I'll take an ugly win over a 'good' loss. I'm so glad that we finally have a coach that has the team playing well and management/ownership that has competent players in the lineup.

I'll just say this before bed.... Feels like the team is holding back a little to start the year as opposed to how they've come out guns blazing in the past. I said at the end of the playoffs that I worry that this team might have burnt itself out too early in previous years, so I'm definitely interested to see if this is part of the plan. Keep winning, but dial it back a bit to keep at least 1 or 2 more reserve tanks of fuel in storage for the playoffs, at which point we go balls to the wall.

Who knows, might be overthinking it. Its stupid late. GNight

Turbo might have taken that message to the extreme lol

Honestly, I thought that the Canes looked good tonight. From a shot suppression standpoint, in particular, they were excellent. Both top pairings made excellent defensive plays all game to break up passes and rushes. Necas continues to prove to be a strong rebound candidate, and the Finns finally got on the board. I can wish for more offense, but it's a good thing that they're beating the teams that they should beat.

Tripp just called Burns the “George Washington of getting pucks to the net.”

[Cardiac Jerks]

What is Rod's gum flavor tonight?

Plain.

Also, I’m impressed to see the gdt made it to 16 pages. Y’all are hardcore for staying up for this one. Glad to see we got the win
