GDT: Game 37: Montreal @ Dallas, Tues. Jan. 2nd, 8 p.m. | RDS, TSN2

Women won.
We could win our first men-women double in our history .

 

[sampollock]

They’re really pushing that women’s hockey league. I hope that works but it undoubtedly won’t and it’s almost desperate how they promote it

I think it will...
Good marketing

The biggest difference I see with Slaf from the beginning of the season to how he's been playing for the past month or more is that he's now constantly moving his feet and is looking to be engaged in the play all the time.

To start this season he wasn't moving his feet at all and was just gliding around and watching the play far too much and not attempting to be more engaged.

The difference between then and now is night and day and he's been keeping up the same level of play pretty consistently since whatever clicked for him.

 

[Rapala]

RDS like the 11 forwards also.

Good period.

I like the ice time distribution.

Confidence means so much. It’s something the old regime never understood.

Slaf went from below average defensively to possibly being one of the top defensive forwards on the club. His back checking and reads in the Dzone are incredible.

He has an excellent hockey IQ....despite what some fans thought lol

 

[Forum93]

I get vampire vibes from Biron, just needs a little blood dripping from the corner of his mouth

 

[sampollock]

Tessa runs a good desk...

Good marketing

They’ve been doing the exact same kind of marketing for WNBA and Women’s hockey and how many folded leagues from that? I just think people need to just love hockey and watch but men seem to have an issue with watching women’s hockey (not saying you). It would be awesome if more women gained interest and bought tickets too

 

[The Real Timo]

Lol... how much viewership will remain for TSN now that Canada is eliminates... especially at these weird hours.

Every time WJC is some place in europe I think that maybe I should go... and every time a thought of potential performance like during this wjc stops me.

 

[StCaufield]

It’s the first game ever.

Honestly, I think they can make a go of it. The hockey wasn’t bad.

Their hockey isn’t ever really bad

I like Tessa. She is nice.

Yeah, the 11F, 7D works. Young D is not being over extended. Kovacevic can play p.k., and in defensive situations. Harris & Barron are on target to only play 14 minutes, which is fine. Barron in particular was playing too much.

It also gives more ice time to Suzuki, Caufield & Slafkovsky, so our better players.

 

[LesHabitants]

Gallagher is so slow at processing plays. Just unreal.

I think I figured it out. He skates with his eyes closed. That's the only way it makes sense.

 

[sampollock]

I like Tessa. She is nice.

Better then the Amazon on HNIC

He knows he has to stay engaged in all three zones or he'll get demoted...
A young kid bumped to the top line and he has no interest of playing anywhere else.

It's amazing how good we can be when we execute the basics.

Call up Xhekaj and play 10 F 8D. It will f*** with every other team minds.

She did not skip the leg days.

 

[sampollock]

SN has no one that runs a desk.
Carolyn Campbell kinda

 

[Redux91]

I like Tessa. She is nice.

I'm telling Celine

 

[Habssince89]

The Harris debate will be raging after this one. He's impressed me and he might be more than a better version of Mete

 

[Rapala]

I'm not surprised. We saw it with Dach and now with Slaf. Learning how to play the right way and gaining confidence along side our underrated Captain.

 

[sampollock]

I'm telling Celine

Sing the Titanic song

Way to soon to write the book on Harris. I wouldn't trade him yet.

 

[Naslundforever]

He’s turning into a really good player. Amazing how much better he’s been since being moved up.

Confidence means so much.

I think he’s growing a jaw on top of his jaw

I loved his coverage without a stick there
