GDT: Game #33: Anaheim vs Utah HC - 3:00pm MST - Utah16, Arizona61

[Summer Rose]

They should double 3on3 to 10 minutes

I'm old school and would prefer them to bring back ties instead of trying to settle games in shootouts, but I'm also a realist and realize that this will never happen.

Dostal had the book on him.... played that move the entire way,

The replay sure looked like he had Dostal beat clean. Dostal was already down and the whole top half of the net was wide open when Bjugs shot the puck too high. At least that's what it looked like to me.

I don’t mind them but .. this is a different year.. if Bugstad and Schmaltz are putting no effort in , go down the list

Cooley took a bad penalty, but did AT ever bench all the Mirad of players who took bad penalties before..

So I blame AT for not winning in OT.

Agreed. AT deserves this loss. I'm baffled by the decision all things considered. It feels like nothing but inaction forever and BAM! I'm going to bench a young player that has been one of the best on the team.

Nah. We don't want to be like futbol.

Tough loss. Hurts to give up a 2 goal lead in the 3rd. But oh well. Dallas next.

 

[Llewzaher]

Not feeling too confident for tomorrow.. I thought the team really put it all out there today , and had bad luck

Let’s hope the Altitude really affects Dallas

 

[Heldig]

I think AT should have put Cooley out after benching him ..

Especially in OT and especially in the shootout.. give him a chance to redeem himself

Why was Cooley benched?

 

[LittlePipes]

Why was Cooley benched?

for slashing a guy skating away from him… retaliation. he went to the box and Anaheim scored the tying goal

I am wondering if he said or did something on the bench..

How many others have taken penalties that were bad and have never been benched? A lot I think
Cole and Mav were taking 2 penalties per game a while back and nothing happened

Who knows?

I am not ticked that he benched him, I am ticked he kept him benched in OT and the shootout

Cooley is great at stepping up after he makes a bad play .. it usually ends up in a goal or an assist shortly after..

So just baffling that you don’t give him the opportunity after benching him

Cooley lost his cool after getting racked and took a dumb revenge penalty......
