GDT: GAME 68 | AVS @ SENS | One Foot In Front Of The Other - Avalanche, Matt Good | You Made Me Turn This Into A GDT Edition

[albator71]

Either we're very good or we're very bad, tonight very bad

 

[Burrowsaurus]

This is a thing with Ullmark. Two years in a row bruins decided swayman was their best bet in the playoffs after Ullmark completely shat the bed.

 

[Carl Karlsson]

Amadio doesn't deserve to be saddled with Highmore and Gaudette

No one does, that's the problem

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Waited long enough to shuffle lines, moron

And this is what I've been saying. Not worth shuffling lines during a game when we're losing badly as it just created more chaos. These changes needed to be made two games ago.

A more proactive approach is desperately needed from Green.

 

[Carl Karlsson]

Can only hope the out of town scoreboard is kind to us.

This one is ova

Go Isles, Go Leafs, Go Cats

I will give you the thumbs up, but can't bring myself to say Go L*^# ... lol

 

[Burrowsaurus]

The sens were atrocious against Detroit.

Bad against Philly.

Bad after like the 10 minute mark against the bruins

And bad against Montreal. This is simply a continuation force trend.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Zetterlund-Stu-Giroux
Tkachuk-Cozens-Batherson
Perron-Pinto-Amadio
Highmore-Greig-Gaudette

This is what I'd do and then when Chucky starts to feel better switch him back up with Z.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Either we're very good or we're very bad, tonight very bad

Nah, we can be quite mediocre as well lol.

Sens were atrocious in the latter half against Detroit. Sens never had long periods of bad play against Philly (In which they were on a b2b). A few bad moments is normal. Sens had an ugly last 10 minutes of the second against the Bruins, otherwise played the Bruins exceptionally well. Sens had a single bad period against the Habs...

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Batherson whiffing in the shot on a semi breakaway was very 2025 sens

 

[Burrowsaurus]

The mullet guy that sings during the intermissions is getting on my f***ing nerves

 

[OccidentalSoothsayer]

Wow! TSN hit the nail on the head with that segment. Every time these guys win a few games they start reading their own press clippings and then look like absolute crap for the next few weeks.

 

[Sensrule]

I don't know guys. If we don't come back tonight the pressure is going to be on on Saturday. Can't go on another losing streak. All it takes is one of the chasing teams to go on a hot run and that 90% will go lower and lower.

 

[Agent Zub]

thank god we are basically a lock for the playoffs lol

 

[Ouroboros]

Wow! TSN hit the nail on the head with that segment. Every time these guys win a few games they start reading their own press clippings and then look like absolute crap for the next few weeks.

Next feature should have them read posts from some of the GDT's on here.

 

[Micklebot]

Are we playing a box

 

[Relapsing]

Highmore sucks

 

[PlayOn]

I miss Norris on the PK

 

[Puikiou]

Highmore on the PK again.

This coach is hopeless and effing sucks.

 

[Micklebot]

Highmore sucks

I actually thought he did some nice work that pk

 

[Micklebot]

Oh good, Greig down the tunnel and they score

 

[h2]

Highmore with another failed clear on the PK. I see a pattern here. Dude does not belong on the PK, let alone a regular in the NHL. Green’s bias for former canucks is costing our team.

 

[Ouroboros]

What a fraud-checking they are getting tonight.

Why worry about more chaos when the game is so badly out of hand? Why not try a few different line combinations, pairings or full line shake-up rather than sticking with what obviously isn't working? The mystery for me is why Giroux remains on the 1st line. He has done little to warrant this placement this year. Other players have issue too, sure, but it seems to me Green has a serious issue making veterans earn their position, as evidenced by his never-ending Hamonic treatment.

Edit - not disagreeing with your point about changes needed 2 games ago...

 

[L'Aveuglette]

It's not normal for a team that can play as good as it can to look this bad on any given night.
