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

[Boss Man Hughes]

Sharks has cornered the market on useless wastes. Can't make a pass, receive a pass or get a shot within 30 feet of the net.

Good close by Struble on Duclair

 

[Rapala]

Feel free to go to some other thread. Slaf has been dumped on all year and is having a great game. So yeah, you’re gonna hear it.

You also might want to turn down your TV too because TSN keeps talking about how great he’s been.

Many of us have been very positive abouts Slaf's play all year. There were always evident gains being made.

 

[Natey]

MSL is going to give Anderson every chance right now. If we were in a playoff race it’d be a different story.

But that makes zero sense given your take on developing..

Anderson is what he is. A elite skating forward with great size, who has a good release at times, is very streaky, and contains the hockey sense of your local Sunday beer league player.

Ylonen on the other hand, has done more than enough offensively to prove he deserves a chance with more minutes and opportunities and yet doesn't get it.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I think people did calm down on Slafkovsky.

At the beginning of the season it felt like people were delusional and any simple play was made to be more than it was.

Today will probably be the first game where Slafkovsky is the best forward on the ice, which is a pretty good thing for him.

Great preseason. Then Dach got hurt and we put him low in the lineup- it just sucked.

If Dach were healthy, I think Slaf would be way ahead of where he is in terms of points. He had a really rough start.

 

[SlafySZN]

I don't think Slaf has speed for OT.

He definitely has lol. Come on now.

 

[Natey]

I'd have Gallagher before Pearson.

Either one is fine by me. But yeah, those are the units I'd use for now.

If Dach surprised and came back early, he'd obviously change things up as I'd want to give him Slaf on the second unit.

 

[Kosseca]

I see no reason to play Pearson over Ylo or Pezz

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'd have Gallagher before Pearson.

Gallagher with 3rd most expected goals in the NHL this year 5 on 5… that stat was shocking

 

[Riddick412]

We are so lucky to have Guhle

 

[Mad]

Crazy that Ylonen has to sit again.

Works hard, healthy, and no pressure. People have pretty much forgotten about him because there was no chance to move his contract.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Matheson with a great defensive play

He’s had a really good year

 

[Natey]

Crazy that Ylonen has to sit again.

Literally mind blowing. His agent needs to be begging for a trade or he's not doing his job.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Crazy that Ylonen has to sit again.

Pretty clear that staff haa no plan for him

 

[Kosseca]

Crazy that Ylonen has to sit again.

he score two goal in one game with 7m of ice time... he has to pay for making the other players look bad

 

[red devil]

He's playing well with Suzuki & Newhook. He's always been better playing with skill over grind.

 

[Natey]

Actually could be something there. No joke. Nothing else explains treating him like he does...

 

[Walrus26]

Matheson with a great defensive play

Didn't give a hook or a hold away either.

 

[HomaridII]

Monty playing rock paper scissors with the sharks mascot

 

[Riddick412]

Monty schooling sharkey lmfao

 

[The Real Timo]

Are you kidding me? HOw is that not a penalty? Seriously?

 

[nhlfan9191]

Literally mind blowing. His agent needs to be begging for a trade or he's not doing his job.

Slafkovsky is going to get the chances over him. It is whatever it is for the players.
