GDT: Game 49: Coyotes @ Sharks - 7:30 PM - BSAZsomethingorother

[Grimes]

Ugh so close Larsson

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

We've got to be the worst breakaway team in the league

 

[Grimes]

That Fischer miss on the open net in the 1st hurts. Pederson missing on the PP sting. RT starting Kuemper instead of Hill really burns though.

To be fair, Kuemper was coming off a shutout. I don't know of a coach in a league that would put their '3rd' guy in over their 1A coming off a shutout.

Sharks trying to give this one away. That time literally.

 

[DoanStopBelievin]

Ollie’s C should be gone before the bus pulls up at the hotel

Edit: As I type this, the real captain scores again

 

[LosPollosHermanos]

Chychrun was hackin n wackin

 

[Grimes]

Well Chychrun tried

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

The team deserved to lose.

Chychrun deserved to win.

 

[SpaceCoyote]

Something happened in 16-17. Did he have a knee injury? Maybe too many concussions? He straight up forgot how to play defense. Bounced back enough the next year to get his big contract, on autopilot ever since.

Around the same time RT became coach. Speaking of which why is Hunt on the ice in a must win down by a goal with 2 minutes left?

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

well, until Tocchet has them ready to start these games, it's going to be a huge uphill battle

 

[Summer Rose]

Maybe next game we should try not going down 4-0.

 

[XX]

Sharks lost 3 to the Ducks by a combined score of 13-2

Coyotes can't beat them without two of their better players. Rested.

 

[Muppet]

lmao losing to a team on an 8 game losing streak when you're fighting for the playoffs.

Dryden Hunt was the extra skater at the end by the way. 10/10 coaching.

True. But what was it his 5th in a row? Still getting a goaltender hot at the end of the year is game changing.

17-18 was OEL's 2nd best year ever and Tocchet's first. I'd love for it to be that simple but it appears it's not.

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Good for Chych. Proud of him showing what it looks like to want to will a victory.

Definitely shows how much a goal matters. Whether it's the freebie Kuemper gave away or all the missed chances.

So what does this do for the playoff odds? Is it pretty much doneso yet? Single digit % maybe?

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

This is the kind of game I expect and can forgive if we're a young rebuilding team with lots of exciting players still learning the ropes.

INSTEAD, we're a finished product fighting for the last playoff spot we'll likely have a shot at for the next 3- 4 years. This is tough to swallow.

Moneypuck hasn't updated but the Blues will probably be around 70% and the Coyotes around 20%

To be fair the Coyotes aren't much better, sporting a 3-7 record over the last 10.

 

[Jormungandr]

Lol at the linesman kicking that puck down to allow Kane to pot the empty netter

 

[AZviaNJ]

Turn out the lights...the seasons over.

 

[rt]

Need to dump OEL at all costs. And fire the living shit out of Tocchet and Housley.

Have to hope there's more juice there under a new coach.

Now would be a great time to fire Tocchet and interim Varady.

 

[Muppet]

Arguably one of the worst games of OEL's career. He was a slow motion car crash for the entire 60 minutes. Says a lot about him given how important these games are and he plays like that. Seeing that C on his jersey is a straight up embarrassment.
