GDT: Game #33 Dec. 29 Toronto @ Columbus

[Divine]

Kypreos telling it like it is

Friedman trying not to piss off his sources

 

[Mr_Fun]

I feel Columbus is scoring one more goal at least, regardless of who is in goal. Likely needing 7 tonight.

 

[ViD]

Would Toronto be interested in Merzlikins ?

 

[kingzley]

Wow just tuned in. Samsonov with 4 goals on 11 shots. Yup he's officialy toast. We need another goalie.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Yep Brodie is becoming a problem.

He's been turning the puck over alot more this season especially in the defensive zone.

Our D coming into the season was

Rielly - Excellent
Brodie - Shocking
McCabe - decent enough
Liljegren- up and down
Gio - 96 years old
Schenn - UFA
Gustafsson - UFA, bad in his own end
Timmins - horrible in his own end

Yay

Win or lose Samsonov can't play 4 goals on 11 shots that's what? a 625 save%?

He simply can't play.

11 shots through 2 periods you can't ask for more from the defense

Give him some credit. Its a .636 save percentage

Big debate at intermission over what to do about Samsonov.
My .02 Keefe can't keep putting Samsonov out there, period.

Kyper is right, just call up Hildeby. He can't be any worse, and if he is at least you can chalk it up to him being young & not ready.

 

[fahad203]

Good on Benoit to with Grub

Benoit and Lagesson are the best contracts on the team
Along with Jones

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Now now, don't sell him short.

It's actually a .636

Oh I'm sorry how dare I undersell this fantastic performance

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Great panel, they teed off on Sammy, called out Tavares' leadership, and called the rest of the team a bunch of chickenshits.

Would Toronto be interested in Merzlikins ?

Toronto would be interested in David Ayres at this point.

 

[fahad203]

Toronto would be interested in David Ayres at this point.

Is he still with the organization?

 

[keonsbitterness]

It might come to that.

 

[kingzley]

At this point, I don't care anymore. Get us the Zamboni driver. FFS do something about our goaltedning!!!

 

[Lightsol]

I think he's got to be part of the trade that brings back a defenseman. Like instead of retention he goes back to smooth over the money. He's useless.

A team with a good d-man or forward near the basement this year might take Brodie at this point, especially if they're going for 1st overall...

 

[wingman75]

Team has been terribly loose with the puck. Not impressed. Samsonov has been as expected, not good.

Only reason we are up in this game is because CLB.

Soft turnovers time and time again, really take away from any positive the team has done to limit shots against.

 

[Strangle]

Would Toronto be interested in Merzlikins ?

Should have went for Georgiev

 

[fahad203]

If we lose Jones because we have to keep Sammy, that would be a disaster at so many levels

 

[All Mod Cons]

Good on Benoit to with Grub

Benoit and Lagesson are the best contracts on the team
Along with Jones

Excellent signings that didn't cost us assets like pretty much every deadline is can remember.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Are we seeing this wrong; does anyone think Brodie isn't too, too bad? I know opinions tend to have a lot of recency bias so perhaps he's not really that bad. Thoughts?

 

[9Iron]

Everything they are talking about at intermission other than Samsonov is on Keefe. He instills nothing in his players. It's clear as day and he has to go.

 

[notbias]

Would Toronto be interested in Merzlikins ?

I hope not

 

[MSZ]

Give him some credit. Its a .636 save percentage

The 2nd worst goalie in the NLL has a .660 save %. lol

Agreed, need to fire keefe
