GDT: GAME 50 | Mighty Ducks @ Senators | Let's Go Streaking Edition | Thursday February 15th, 7PM | TSN5, RDS2

[Butchy Dakkar]

I tuned in half way through the second. Brutal. You know when they say “no shots in 14 minutes” something is going in soon.

But it’s not like we are lighting them up.

I had a feeling.

I’ve seen more unexpected comebacks though, let’s go boys.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Whenever this team gets a bit a traction, they manage to collapse in the most spectacular way against an underwhelming opponent. Then, when they're clearly out of it again, they resume playing well. Brutal.

We never got back into it

I agree about branny over hamonic, but I don't think I've really seen brannstrom step up ever. Well, not in any dramatic way.

He's supposed to be a silky smooth player who can create...I think I've only seen that in 1 or 2 games in his career. Wasn't there one game where he was everywhere dangling everyone. I was hoping he would build off that.

I do agree he has improved defensively and physically. He doesn't make as many mistakes nor get rocked as much.

But I'm still waiting for him to even show a flash of the player people thought he might become when he was traded for stone. Obviously he'll never be that player, but I would expect something near that player if we're talking "noticeable short term stepping up". Just glimpses of that player really.

He just looks way too slow out there. He gets the puck and makes 3 strides with it and barely moves. In those 3 strides, the forchecker took only 1 stride and closed the gap instantly. It's like he skates in mud. So strange for such a small slight guy who was billed as dynamic.

He stepped up in the top 4 two straight years and played really well.

 

[SanderSen]

There is a very real part of me that just wants to see Staios move players for picks RFN and put an end to any "hope" there is for playoffs this year. Finish bottom 5 and win the draft lottery - mini on the fly rebuild to somewhat correct for the steaming pile Dorion left us with.

100%. It is only fans that are hoping for a miracle run. 2 out of the remaining 3 games are on the road as well. Fun to hope but nowhere near realistic.

Roy already had the Isles doing suicides.


Sometimes you need to be cruel

Islanders haven't been that impressive since Roy took over

Roy hasn't done anything as a NHL coach you over hype him for some reason

 

[Xspyrit]

This is clearly not the same team without Sanderson - Zub

Chabot is the only guy doing something.

Our forwards are completely out of synch most of the game

Kubalik and Hamonic need to stop playing on this team ASAP

Trade Tarasenko for a ready prospect

Trade Chychrun, he doesn't fit well and is not that needed. His AAV next season and age gives him value, trade him now before he loses value. Target a 2-way RHD even if he doesn't score as many goals as Chychrun

Can trade Brannstrom too but it could be done at the draft too, Kleven needs to stay all season in the AHL

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Damn, this game feels like a big ol' bucket of ice water dropped onto your head, bucket included.

 

[Race Dawg]

Bro, we are one of the shitty teams

Ya but we are 7-1-2 in our last 10.

I am in full denial about the rest of the season

Yeah. It’s a problem.

f*** all

One thing a game like this points out is that the dropoff between Sanderson and Chabot is quite large. Sanderson makes every other D man look good.

 

[SensFactor]

Too many passengers, same reason this team is in 28th place.

 

[DrEasy]

Can DOPS actually increase Reilly's suspension after the appeal? Would be fun to watch if it happened.

 

[NyQuil]

Norris with the TSN turning point.

Bro, we are one of the shitty teams

So much this.

 

[SanderSen]

Massive hole with both out. The last game was not exactly a mastapiece against a poor team.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Grieg should've went for a slap shot instead

 

[Micklebot]

That kind of night...

 

[IpsoPostFacto]

yep

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Chabot and JBD took a bong toke before the 3rd.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Feel bad for those that went to the game

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

4 goals on 12 shots is not going to cut it. Korpisalo is a vibe killer.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

That's the NHL for you.
They get killed in Montreal, only to do the killing in Ottawa the next night.

 

[Alex1234]

Terry laughing at 72 so easily lol

 

[SensFactor]

4 goals on 12 shots

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I had a dentist appointment right before this game. Lots of work being done and overall a painful experience.



This is worse.

 

[Race Dawg]

Finally

 

[albator71]

Oh boy Korpisalo .667sv%

 

[Micklebot]

Let's build on that
