GDT: Game 34: Sharks vs. Jets 7:30pm NBCSCA

[timorous me]

How long can Winnipeg keep it going at this level with Namestnikov as their 2C? It's kind of remarkable (also makes me think they could be a great deadline destination for Granlund; as well as things are going now, can you really expect this to keep up at this level without the addition of another scoring center?).

Happy birthday (for real this time) to @slocal

Look, I screwed up last week and got your gift early and now I'm not allowed to return a gently used pair of Kunin goals. So I guess you'll just have to take them and act surprised and also take this "fun Celebrini play" gift card that you can redeem whenever.

Seriously though, happy birthday bro.

"Ya know what happened last time we played these guys? Yeah, don't let that happen again"

Happy Birthday Slocal!!!

Celebrini draws a penalty

 

[SJSharksfan39]

They called a penalty on the opposing team. Refs are already better than Saturday.

 

[Levie]

Just tuned in. Drew is gushing over Goodrow. Let me guess he just had a bad play.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Ha, that's a pretty soft call. Mack's already a wily veteran.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Granlund waited too long on that one

 

[Alaskanice]

Demelo talking to his stick.

He told Celebrini to draw that penalty because he's such a great leader.

I never thought I'd miss DeMelo as much as I do.

 

[Shut Yer Five Hole]

Forced passes not making it through

 

[The Nemesis]

Lol, Winnipeg pbp guy has been calling Zetterlund "Zetterberg" for the whole game so far.

I see they’re back to trying to win beauty contests on the power play.

One thing Smith needs to improve on (and im sure it's an easy fix for him), is to move his feet once he gets the puck. He hasn't fully adjusted to having less time and space in the NHL, so he has to create his own. Cemented boots are gonna lead to forced passes, as we've seen

*gasp!* That's not Ryan Warsofsky! It's been Steve Spott all along!

The Jets have all their moms on this road trip. Though I'm assuming that there's some sisters or wives in the group too because otherwise at least a couple of Jets players are a trio of 8-year-olds in a trench coat.

Lol, thanks!

Can I trade it in for a Will Smith roughing penalty?

Funny--I feel like he did just that on his most recent shift (at 5v5, though). Little by little we're seeing Kibble grow, and even if it's not as mind-blowing as Celebrini, it's still quite fun.

I really like these line combos. Whinging about Goodrow aside, Granlund doesn't need great wingers to be effective.

 

[The Nemesis]

Lol, thanks!

Maybe. Though they might have to also include "Jan Rutta making a comically inept play" for the value to even out.
