GDT: Hurricanes vs Washington: The Return of Birdman in Oviland

[Identity404]

The only thing that really worries me about that game is how bad Svech is right now. Zero confidence, no speed and can’t shoot. There was really no reason to keep him out there for 3 minutes in OT. Long term he gets a pass because it is hard to come back from ACL surgery, but maybe relying on him right now is not the wisest strategy.

At least his shootout attempt hit the net

 

[The Faulker 27]

You deserve to lose the game when the coach sends Svech out on the shootout and doesn’t send out Jarvis.

Also, did JG play in OT? I don't remember seeing him.

I have to think Freddie is the starter once the playoffs begin. Pyotr is still inconsistent, and when he’s off, he’s bad.

Someone else mentioned this but I think he really struggles being a 1B game. He needs regular reps

5 games since last Saturday will cause a result like tonight + puck luck for caps and the usual ref BS (ie Aho in OT).

Canes play every 2 days until march 30th and then finally a 5 days break before final 7 games with naturally two of them back to back with one 3 day break during the 7 games.

Not a great way to end the season when you need to conserve for the playoff grind.

Most of our issues tonight were fortunate bounces for washington. Not really much bad tonight

There's no way you watched this game and say there wasn't much bad tonight. Stupid penalties, poor defensive structure, poor goaltending. Only thing that was going well was our offense.

He has been alternating though.

We'll likely need 2-3 goalies in the playoffs, so it doesn't matter much. But if Freddie is up to the load I'd lean towards him as well to begin. I love Koch but he's got a possibly higher ceiling but a lower floor in his play as well. I think Freddie's calm and steady play is the way to go for now. We'll see if that changes though.

I hate they didn't show replay what happened to Aho at OT when he fall and clearly was expecting call

Caps and others are asking for PK to get a suspension for his kick on Carlson..circulating the video.

There is a way. 3 of their goals were bounces that led to the goal.

The first goal was a usual board play that hit the toe of the skate just right and went right to eventual goal scorer.

The Carlson goal took 2 bounces to go right to him for the shot.

Then the puck just hit necas right to go in.

Most penalties are stupid but we earned our chances at the pp but the refs were only calling the embellished ones. The difference in a stick lift and a high stick is a fraction of a second, it happens.

Ok one game staring Sunday.

Pretty clear hooking non-call (I think). Bally showed a replay.

20 pages on the GDT. Must be getting close to playoff time.

I agree on those goals but canes were really sloppy in zone, etc and Pyotr was meh (first goal he was clueless and looked in the wrong direction). Not Canes best effort, in fact up there with west coast swing issues.

Last two games Canes played like crap (lol we miss Fast) but in my mind mostly explainable by schedule

They should consider coping more.

He sees the puck getting hit one direction so he looks that direction. Pretty standard. It took an absolute perfect deflection to end up the way it did.

Maybe, just maybe, Carlson shouldn't be slashing at a goalie's glove after he catches the puck. Play stupid games and you win stupid f***ing prizes.

PK just wasn’t sharp nor tracking well
Tonight.

I don't know if it's suspension worthy, but that was a fairly cheap or dirty move by Kochetkov upon review. I don't know that I'd consider it a true kick but more of a leg whip trip kinda think, but it could have been dangerous.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

They should show the hand full of times they ran over PK too

 

[dogbazinho]

We should suspend him for all Andersen starts

ice up son, keep out of the paint

 

[WreckingCrew]

ice up son, keep out of the paint

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...dotnt hack at the goalie and then skate around behind him when the other direction is clear. He wanted to give Kooch an extra nudge and Kooch said nah fam

 

[D Wakaluk]

Carlson had it coming. You don't go slashing the goalie like that.

Caps were sneaky dirty the whole game and still got the refs in their pocket. It was ridiculous.

God I hate Ovy.

take care!
