GDT: Game 9: Coyotes @ Blues - 6PM - FSAZ

[Muppet]

That's a great play from Judy Garland

 

[_Del_]

Schmaltz gets a goal by going to the inside!

 

[SniperHF]

That was all Schmaltz's sneakiness. Kessel made a good play and Garland got it to him but most of the time we dont' even have a man in front ready for that.

 

[SniperHF]

Whoa a timeout.

 

[_Del_]

I don't remember the last time we had this kind of confidence in the offense haha

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

A 6 on 5 goal? A timeout? What madness!

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Hayton get benched again? Hunt centering his line

Might be injured?

 

[RemoAZ]

Garland did a great job drawing the man away from Schmaltz before he passed it then set it up beautiful.

 

[TheLegend]

Whoa a timeout.

Yeah but Housley's got the white board.

 

[SniperHF]

Might be injured?

His head hit the glass pretty hard earlier but he played after that, maybe a spotter saw something?

Tocc benching him isn't unbelievable or anything though.

 

[XX]

Kessel has nearly forgotten how to pick corners

 

[_Del_]

Win or lose, I love that they are going for it here

 

[SniperHF]

Like that second effort from Schmaltz keeping that puck in our hands.

 

[RemoAZ]

Damn Dvo had the shot

 

[XX]

Chychrun and bad shot selection, name a more iconic duo

Coyotes and losing?

 

[SniperHF]

name a more iconic duo

Raanta and getting hurt (Too easy, I admit)

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Good hustle from the team, but you can't make that many D mistakes against a team like the Blues. Just can't give them freebees. Clean up the D, put the Russian Bear in and keep playing the hard nosed style please!

 

[SniperHF]

If the Coyotes put in even 70% of that effort over the entire third we'd have probably seen it tied.

 

[Muppet]

Reminder that the Coyotes had all the momentum until Goligoski fell on his ass late in the first period.

 

[RemoAZ]

St. Louis is clearly the better team. Entertaining game though. Need better D play in both zones.

 

[XX]

Hunt played exactly how I expected. He should be a regular. Good decision making and compete. Basically another Pitlick out there.

If not for Goligoski and Gross they probably win

 

[WrinkledPossum]

Damn Dvo had the shot

I want everyone on the team chirping him that he doesn't shoot enough. He's too nice. He defers to the vets, or really anyone else to take the shot.

 

[SR]

I’m really not all that bent about this loss. I thought we played decently well. Keep moving.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

For the Coyotes to improve, they just need to watch the game the Blues played:

Got physical when they struggled in the first, came out with much more motor in the second, punished mistakes.

Then limited opportunities in the third to only skillful plays.

A win like this will probably feels like business as usual for St Louis. Sadly a defeat like this also feels like business as usual for us.

I look forward to OEL coming back.
