GDT: [Game #69] Dallas Stars vs. Philadelphia Flyers – 1:00 PM CT (Victory+)

[JeffP]

Horrendous Start

Wyatt Johnsen 1.5shots bet?!

I haven't seen it been done, but when the offensive player takes the net off on their own and the refs are waiting for said team to get possession to blow it dead, why doesn't the goalie go to the bench for the extra attacker?

That’s actually an interesting thought.

 

[Kcb12345]

Lindell!

 

[Nikki Potnick]

That’s actually an interesting thought.

I just thought of it seeing it happen right there, and it hit me, that I've never seen the goalie go for the extra attacker.

 

[Elysian]

Oettinger is consistently weak from the right circle and against anything high danger. It's part of the reason why the team plays the collapsing style and gives up the boards. If anyone, especially on their offwing as a right hand shot gets a good look at his glove side high it usually doesn't go well. Also he's always had issues battling in the crease against high danger rebounds or scrambles.

Team defense needs to recognize the goalies weaknesses and limit those opportunities. Pretty clear they aren't doing that for either goalie, just DeSmith has a smaller sample size and probably isn't quite as weak there. Teams clearly going for those spots though, best chance to score on us.

ESA THE SNIPER

 

[ugrakarma]

Esa hah.

 

[account deactivated]

Lindell the sniper!

 

[piqued]

It's one of those Lindell games

The Flyers probably have the worst goaltending in the league without looking it up

 

[JeffP]

Esa buried that shit, keep the foot down and keep going, we need another win here

Esa is such a great Dallas Star, but probably one of the most punchable faces along the lines of a Matvichuk or Stars Great Sean Avery

 

[Troy McClure]

Harley is so good.

I'm going to have to do some looking back at Stats history. I wonder if Harley is already the best or second best goal scoring defenseman in Dallas Stars history. Boucher for sure had two or three huge seasons, I don't think anyone else really comes close. Guys like Zubov and Klingberg were more assist driven.

Same type of question:

If a team gets called for too many men on the ice, why not just keep the extra guy on the ice?

 

[starsfan86]

They should… keep shooting

 

[roryjones]

I like this shooting percentage.

 

[LT]

Fedotov so bad

Harley may pass Miro's career goal total with one more season

 

[joshik]

Esa scored Im happy with this game even if we lose it

 

[starsfan86]

4th line has more TOI than the 1st

Boucher's bombs were so good.

Other teams probably attack that side on purpose because our RD is complete ass and everyone knows it. It's much easier to go through Ceci, Dumba, or Lyubushkin rather than Harley, Lindell, or Bichsel

 

[joshik]

1st line is cooked

I thought about that as a factor but it's also true that RD is weaker than LD across the league.

And Miro playing on the right is one of the top shot suppressors out there.

Agreed but with Miro out, teams would be wise to attack our right side. And it seems they do

 

[ugrakarma]

Tortorella benching Michkov is missing from my bingo card.

 

[Troy McClure]

Boucher's bombs were so good.

I just looked. Boucher had back to back seasons of 16 and 19 goals for the Stars, but those two seasons came out of nowhere. He played 12 seasons prior to those two where his career high was 8.
