GDT: GAME 51 | Capitals @ Senators | In Honor of Shawn Edition | Thu Jan 30 2025, 7PM | TSN2, RDS5

So we're not pegging production to cap hit anymore? The moment you detach the two is the moment you start mismanaging assets. For example, trading Drake because he isn't playing up to a $

But then we’d have to trade Norris and give Timmy a raise and fire Perron to the moon.

Last season people were saying Chabot was untradebke, 50 games later all 31 teams would trade for him.

Produciton is as much about system and the players around you as salary.

I don't know how this supports your original point of trading Drake because he isn't playing to top line potential at the moment. But anyway, not worth arguing.

Zub was hung out to dry because he was supposed to get support from Giroux. Giroux was 10 feet out of position, Chabot was challanging his man the way the play is designed, maybe a touch agressive, but the real breakdown was Giroux.

Chabot was ok following his man
Maybe Giroux has a shorter route to Mangiapane and Zub could have challenge McMichael at some point if Giroux commits to Mangiapanne but the real breakdown I see when I slow the play is Forsberg inviting McMichael to top shelf the puck over his glove
And that's exactly what he did

Anyway goals like this will happen against the second best offence in the league
Important is they found a way to win

More like if Canucks would take Drake for Milker if do it because the production vs increased cap hit would be a no brainer - but I love Drake and in reality I want Staois to run this team into the playoffs and see what we got in this group of players

The problem is Giroux was supposed to come down on the weak side to support the play there, he didn't which meant that Zub couldn't release and challenge McMichael. Chabot was doing his job on that play in a Diamond formation by pressuring the puck carrier, we do the same thing all the time, that's the system. Maybe he got a little further out than you'd like with the 5th man getting back on and in the play, but Giroux is supposed to be at the hashmark there and instead is at the top of the circle in no mans land

I saw it live. Haven't seen a replay. What I saw was a void in the space where the LD is supposed to be and the LD at the top of the circle. There just wasn't anyone between the shooter and the goalie. 30 feet of emptiness .it was noticeable live because you literally never see that in an nhl game other than on a breakaway.

Until the Chabot overtime goal!!!

 

[Big Muddy]

chabot chasing his man to the top of the circle allowed McMichael to walk out from the corner. Never should have been able to walk out like that

Ya, like a lot of goals, there were several things that happened that led to the goal.

Forsberg has played well in the last stretch & I thought he was decent in the last game.

OK. Ya you got me there but that's 3 on 3. What I mean was it was visually weird. He just walked out from the corner and there was nothing but white ice. You just don't normally see that

I was totally tongue in cheek. Lots of different things went on in that game. Great one to see live.

I've said my piece when it comes to breaking down the play, I agree McMichael had a ton of space, we differ a bit on why but as is often the case, when that much space is given its usually more than one thing happening that compounds into a bigger issue.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I guarantee you all if Forsberg literally stays square to the shooter, this would be a non-conversation.

Zub covered back door. It was McMichael 1on1 far left of goalie and he played it worst way possible.

If Chabot doesn't follow his guy, that guy probably has a terrific look to the net more square to Forsberg, albeit not as close.
