GDT: Game 7: Ducks @ Coyotes - 7PM - FSAZ - Chayka in Jail Edition

[XX]

Gibson is very frustrating to play against. What an amazing goalie. Makes the whole game of hockey look boring haha.

Chances have been very low quality for the most part. Caggiula missed an open net.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Shoot it low off the pads and crash the net, let's go boys

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I feel another shutout is in our future! Tocchet offense at it's finest.

 

[Grimes]

Chances have been very low quality for the most part. Caggiula missed an open net.

It's partly his poise in the net too. Just small smart moves. Opposite of Raanta/Smith.

 

[TheLegend]

Gross is going to have to put one through Gibson.

 

[XX]

less standing around, more of what Pitlick just did

 

[TheLegend]

Hah..... they turned the player trackers on!!

 

[SniperHF]

I like that we're still controlling after the PP.

 

[XX]

There's almost zero movement off the puck when they have possession. Hjalmarsson just basically had nowhere to put it. Been a problem for years.

 

[Grimes]

Great looking period so far.

 

[awfulwaffle]

Wow, one has to bounce in at some point.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

That player tracker plus actual sustained offensive pressure gave me a seizure

 

[SniperHF]

Counter argument:

Very Tocchet like to put Hayton on the fourth line with fisch and Larsson.

 

[Grimes]

Kessel's natural speed and shot really is something. Seems like he needs to shoot a little earlier to hit the old glove side corner he made his millions off of since his velocity may be a touch lower.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I actually do like caggiula, but man does he not belong on the main scoring line.

Have they really not tried Keller-schmaltz-garland as a 1st line? Do they not want to because of the lack of size? If they want size to match the skill then I’d much rather have crouse or pitlick there than caggiula.

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

This is one of my problems with a Tocchet coached team... If you play his system well you're probably not going to score very much.

Last game and this game so far the Yotes have played relatively well, most would say. But 0 goals to show for it. Not the first time this has happened and won't be the last.


Idk maybe I'm just projecting too much. I absolutely hate having him as the coach.

I am really starting to believe that Tocchet is going to mess the kid’s development up. He’s been moved between lines constantly and been flipping between centre and wing. Give the kid some stability and let’s see what he can do. In my opinion he’s been getting better every game so far - but Tocchet is really jerking him around.

We had a lot of chances and half of this game has been spent in the Ducks zone. The Ducks look completely gassed after being pounded on the forecheck most of the game. This is the stuff that doesn't show up on Chayka's stat sheet but does matter. Gibson is dialed in. That's not on whatever Tocc is or is not doing.

 

[WrinkledPossum]

I have likes that they've been trying more shots from the top of the faceoff circles instead of the middle at the point. It's nice to see an adjustment after we had so many middle point shots blocked against Vegas.

I assume this is a Varady or Stillman suggestion.

I'd like to see more chances coming from the slot vs the outside. I'd say a strong majority of the pressure has been from the perimeter.

For the amount of zone time the grade A scoring chances have been low in my eyes.

I don't know why we don't put Hayton back on that line. They looked good at the start of the year. Hayton should be 1LW or middle six C.

 

[schnaurt]

Do they look as slow and lazy tonight on tv? It sure looks bad live.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

A certain kind of finish may be rearing its ugly head.

 

[SniperHF]

Schmaltz you ain't gonna beat Gibson with those weak ass bad angle shots.
