GDT: GAME 20: HABS @ SHARKS | Geoff, you're killing us! | Fri., Nov. 24th, 2023, 3:30 PM ET -- TSN2, RDS, TSN690, 98.5FM

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Suzuki.. 17 points in 19 games... 9th in ice-time among forwards, ahead of only Pezzetta, Evans, and Ylonen.

Confused.

Suzuki is 2nd on the team for ice time total

 

[ReHabs]

We have been struggling all season when teams keep us on the boards, it's not just today. What sort of set plays are you referencing? I haven't noticed much but I will say that the Sharks don't give up the blueline as easily as we do and they are physical that's for sure.

Well, the Hoffman goal I think shows it partially. I'll keep an eye out and post here when I spot what I believe to be the next best example of what I'm seeing.

 

[OldCraig71]

Sharks aren't giving up many high danger scoring chances, force the play to the perimeter and allow low danger scoring chances

Is that a result of MSL being outcoached or our player's inability to execute what he wants them to?

 

[Rapala]

Slaf is our best forward today, only one able to complete passes

He is one of our few forwards who can survive the heavy game.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Slaf is our best forward today, only one able to complete passes

His passing has been great since moving up in the lineup. And he’s getting better physically as well.

He needs to shoot more. Glad to see he took a few today.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

f***ing day to day that turned to IR.

f*** off.. Hope he wont need another surgery

My favorite was when we kept playing Caufield when he was injured because he had a chance to make the ASG and then we shut him down after he didn't make it

 

[Runner77]

Of course Arber goes from day-to-day to injured reserve and the return of Armia.

Hummm … more turnover may be needed in the medical/ training staff.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

LOL I love this day to day bullshit we get spoon fed on just about every injury. When do we find out when he's getting operated on?

Not sure what changed with Chantal Machabée, it's the same old shit.

 

[Kosseca]

urggg.... this is just swell

Tonight? Then the times on NHL.com are wrong..

Someone mentioned that the Hoffman goal came from a deflection off a stick blade, that is luck more than anything and not a result of a failed coaching strategy. I didn't see the goal but read it here.

 

[Hannibal]

Man i really hope he won’t be out long term f***ing shit

 

[salwan]

Dach injury is a massive problem, but also show how our C depth is poor. Monahan is a good 3C, Evan can do the job on 4C, but Dvorak is AHL level right now and we are SOL in terms of other options.

Barron is bad...

So you're saying..there's a chance? Slaf 2C confirmed.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Is that a result of MSL being outcoached or our player's inability to execute what he wants them to?

He wants them to play around the perimeter, that's what they have been doing all season, on the PP and during any sustained 5v5 offensive zone time, it is predictable and leads to constant turnovers and very few scoring chances because the defenders just need to camp the one time from the Ws

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Suzuki.. 17 points in 19 games... 9th in ice-time among forwards, ahead of only Pezzetta, Evans, and Ylonen.

That mostly has to do with the Monahan line getting trapped in their own zone leading to lenthy shifts. Suzuki has the most shifts on the team along with Newhook, but they're playing regular length shifts. Pearson-Monahan-Anderson are not. Dvorak line is better but not by much.

I was on FB during the intermission & this just popped up in my feed.

Becuase Habes are not pressuring the Shark defense near enough - no throwing puck in and coming in with speed

Very timid game by Habs
Timid team

The play that lead to the SoG

Ah my bad. I thought you meant overall.

Yeah, I can believe that. Haven't seen him much

 

[nhlfan9191]

If you think, like I do, that tanking is bad and dangerous (because you can turn into EDM or BUF or TOR) then you'd understand why I'm so upset about the Slafkovsky and Reinbacher picks. We don't have time to waste and risk with projects. Swing for the fences or this is all for naught anyway.

But you never add what you would do different. Do you want these guys to dive into UFA where everyone gets overpaid to attempt to make a wildcard? We’ve done that for 30 years. Truth is Bergevin burnt the team to the ground. They had no choice in what’s happening or Molson would be pushing for the same thing he always has.

Sounds like a coaching problem

 

[OldCraig71]

Hoffman, in Montreal, is in no way comparable. He constantly turned the puck over and made stupid passes, while floating.

The Hoff we got in Montreal wasn't the guy I was referencing, he was once a key contributor in the NHL but like Caufield, he was offense only and nothing else.

 

[Kosseca]

So you're saying..there's a chance? Slaf 2C confirmed.

lol.... well he took 6 or 7 faceoff already, so you know

 

[larek]

Who knows

 

[MarkovsKnee]

He'll actually help our pk. It's one of the few things he does well.
