GDT: Game #66 Dallas @ Colorado (2:30PM CT): Mikko's Revenge Part I

[Satan]

Benn is a true leader.

Winning isn't enough for him, he needs the team to face some adversity and build themselves.

Incredible.

he's just trying to get the PK an extended look at the Avs PP

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Oetter looks in the zone today.

 

[ugrakarma]

Inevitable after enough time.

 

[TangoMcBride]

At least it happened after the 2 minute mark on the PP.

 

[JeffP]

yea, too much penalty time to expect to keep them off the sheet

 

[TangoMcBride]

You'd think that we're due for a PP of our own at this point.

 

[redbeardtx]

They're out there flopping like fish every 10 seconds lmao

I'm so tired of hearing everyone speculate why Rantanen didn't sign an extension with Colorado.

 

[TangoMcBride]

Do any of you think that we would have made a serious push for Rantanen had he reached UFA?

Absolutely, especially if the concern about Robertson's future contract is serious.

 

[usefulfiction]

have we considered spending more time in their zone?

 

[MrHeiskanen]

3 Shots

Do any of you think that we would have made a serious push for Rantanen had he reached UFA?

I'd guess not only because Nill wouldn't have gone to July 1st with the idea of holding a $12 million in cap space slot for one guy, especially when he'd be also talking to multiple other UFAs at the same time. Juggling offers to several different guys is hard to do when one of them would command so much.

Now that he's paid Rantanen, he's going to have to get creative to fill the roster next season, but doing it now also makes this summer much easier.

 

[usefulfiction]

we're gunna high flip our way outta this!

 

[MrHeiskanen]

I had to step away for 5 mins, what happened to the lines here at the end they seemed all different?

Benn benched?

 

[Troy McClure]

Pretty bad period. The penalties make the shot total a bit deceiving, but the Stars are having the same problem they did against the Jets where getting the puck up the ice to the offensive zone is proving to be a difficulty.

 

[M88K]

5 defensemen in the lineup that can't pass for shit, against a fast team of course it's high flips. Nobody can move the puck well but Harley

 

[JeffP]

audio just keeps having issues on both tnt/trt

Benn wasn’t benched, but Steel and Back didn’t play after the last goal against. There was a bit of top line double shifting late, mostly because the penalties had zapped six minutes of shifts from them.

 

[Henderson33]

Commentators will call out Otter for selling but not the Avs swimming all over the ice lmao

 

[usefulfiction]

our sticks might be allergic to these pucks

 

[ugrakarma]

Looked way too easy.

Ugh. I hate cheering for this f***ing team.
