GDT: Game 3 - Brothers vs Brothers. Brindy vs Ron. Tripp vs John - Canes vs Seattle

[Summer Rose]

I'm tempted to break out the scotch. I might have to IF the lads can score a TD.

I'm manning the booth at an outreach event for my church on Saturday. There will be plenty of wine there, though...

So far during regular season, staal/fast/Stats has been a touch out of synch…. Not sure if it is staal and fast being less tight or if it is just Stats himself and figuring out how to fit in… they looked good in preseason so maybe that was a false sense of security? Both on his own line and on his pp time it’s like Stats just isn’t quite in the right spot or makes the move we expect so it breaks things up as they guys aren’t sure how to link with Stats… thats the only thing has me a bit worried so far this year….

Aho line is really quiet for stretches….and Turbo has not been typical Turbo at all… he looked downright bad at points and Jarvis looked to be carrying Turbo and the line…. But after being absent and super quiet for stretches, bam and then they kick in a key goal….so overall they are fine and I’m sure they will get more dominant in stretches as we go along…

but we got an unexpected bonus last year with how well the staal line played and how Nino chipped in some key offense… so far the new line with Stats on the wing just hasnt seemed as natural and in synch….. will take some time…. Hope they figure it out and it becomes more instinctual….. it’s not there yet though for sure…

otherwise we are playing so well so far this year….

I’m not worried about the Staal or Aho lines at all, those guys will get going. Burns is taking longer to fit in than I hoped for. Our 2nd line’s dominance really is nice to see. Koko maybe a bit below what I hoped for but Marty’s play so far has more than made up for that and it’s not like Koko has been bad at all. Svech looks like he is continuing to progress, I see him keeping up PPG pace throughout the season.

I like our 1st & 3rd pair d much better this year too. Chatfield speed is a huge benefit (plus unlike Cole he stays out do the box)

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

3 on 1 and we dont get off anything on net. woof

I think a weak 3rd pair is one thing that has really been holding us back from getting back to the ECF

Andersen cares

 

[Rick Davis]

Meeester Andersen….

 

[VAcaniac]

Andersen is such a quiet beast. Hes so positionally sound, he makes everything look easy.

i dont remember reading that on the Toronto boards

 

[To Be Determined]

I'm comfortable that if we keep them from scoring the rest of the way, we've got a good chance at holding on.

Now, do eet.

How sweet are F26's words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Jarvis being protected some tonight. He has the lower TOI of the top 9 by a full minute plus.

Necas has the 2nd most TOI of anyone, including defenders. Only Burns has more ice time.

edit. slavin just got more ice time by 15 seconds

 

[Summer Rose]

The wicked Leafs have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider F26's testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection: but their commandment is exceeding broad. O how I love their posts! It is the meditation of my day. They, through their postings have made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

 

[Stickpucker]

Andersen is just like...naw dawg.

 

[Summer Rose]

Beloved Anderson spake, and said unto me, rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, Andersen, my fair one, and come away.
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

Can you imagine if their team wasnt such trash, those fans would be crazy. Have no idea how they still sell out games.

The same reason they still go to mariners and seahawks games. they are gluttons for punishment.

 

[GindyDraws]

Wow, people are still up?

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm probably flirting with trouble by quoting psalms and the Song of Solomon. Sorry.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Wow, people are still up?

The Marley Drug commercials may be gone, but the pills aren't.

 

[Stickpucker]

I like their in arena music more than ours.

After midnight and then a glass delay…

 

[Rick Davis]

Ohhh did Tripp just reveal Hanna’s age…..thought that was classified!

 

[MinJaBen]

Pretty tired bodies on the couch, too, Tripp.
