Low Effort GDT LA Kings vs. Ottawa Senators (RDS2, TSN5)

[JackieDaytona]

The GDT is for real time reactions and having fun, it isn't for mature discussion, not that you would know anything about that though.

Without all the dumbf***ery that seems to be allowed in GDTs, I’d have like zero posts.

Not terrible. A bit passive at times. Issues clearing the zone under pressure. Their eyes get big when there is a chance for offense and everyone flies the zone before full possession still. They limited the Kings at even strength for the most part though.

I get it. So many teams do this tho it would surprise us all lol. When a goalie stops a puck you don’t remember the small mistake.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Really didn’t miss Greig. Guy needs to take a step


Being the stands you could feel the tension. It was insane.

Can only imagine how the players feel

If Grieg has been injured all this time, then there is a good reason he hasn't looked like much to start the season.

Pulling Forsberg was a big mistake

Someone posted earlier he was injured.

I thought that was a game where a lot of players were exactly what they need to be. Brady looked like a bull out there, physical and mad as hell. Sanderson was excellent at both ends of the ice, Timmy was shifty and creative, Norris with some snipes. Chabot I thought played a great game too. Outside of goaltending and the PK, a lot to like.

Hopefully some of our players can come out of that game with some consistency, because a lot of guys were doing exactly what we need of them.

It definitely looked like a game where they started to gel as a team.

Not sure he’s ever really moved the needle

Kings are expected to be a playoff team, we controlled the play 5v5 most of the game,

We did that down a top 4 D for most of the game, an without Greig. Not bad.

Other than the breakaway. Was there a legit scoring chance?

 

[SensontheRush]

They had plenty of controlled entries and rush chances that game. Some smart dump-ins are good. The defensive zone and goaltending... lots to sort out there.

From what I gathered, after the first intermission they changed to almost 100% zone entries, but the first period was mostly, if not all, failed dump-in attempts.

Someone posted earlier he was injured.

Turns out he was not, they suggested he might be in the broadcast but Green in the presser seemed to confirm he just pulled him

Sure, the one that got called back definitely was a good chance,

I mean how failed were they? We had the puck the whole first period lol

Oh yeah forgot that

This one is on the goalies. It was a pathetic display.

But there is something seriously wrong with this Team

 

[Burrowsaurus]

This is the chabot play that f***ing enraged me.

 

[Qward]

I was at the game. It was a lot more fun than in the past. I caught the over the glass puck from Burroughs that led to Bathersons PP goal.

Isn’t today evidence that there is something seriously right with this team? Didn’t matter how many bad goals went in they stuck to the plan. Didn’t get emotional. Didn’t get stupid. Kept chipping way. Kept their composure.

It's as though you Adrianopolous and agent zuub are all the same person.

 

[LiseL]

Huh do you know Tkachuk is paid same money?
Norris not far from him too , Chabot ?
Let's not descriminate his play by how much his getting paid for that. Anyways look at the top 15 centers that put over ppg you will see most of them if not are by far most paid players on their team/league. So Tim money is fair price for his productions for years to come.

For me, it's a steal. It won't be long before 1C on other teams are making twice as much and we have him at that price for another 6 years right? I think he signed it 2 years ago but I could be wrong. Even if it's 5 more, still a great signing (him and Sandy both). And if Norris can start producing 30+ goals again, his contract will also age well.

 

[NinjaSens]

Agreed. Chabot didn't have to skate so deep. He could have made a simple play such as firing to the net from somewhere between the blueline and the faceoff dot. He would have been in a better position to backcheck. Chabot needs to simplify his game when there's no good play to be made.

 

[starling]

Definitely.

Also, I'm considering not watching games with Shitberg or Shitgaard in net. Not enjoyable at all.

It's 8-7. Are you not entertained?

 

[LiseL]

The team played great, they just didn't get the saves.


The team showed great maturity and resilience to stick to the game plan even though they played well despite not getting any saves.

Maybe that vet presence did settle them down and not get in panic mode. I couldn't watch the game but from everything I've read on this thread, it sounds like the boys never gave up and kept chugging along. As someone said earlier, good thing LA's goalie was also bad, but 2 points is 2 points. Hope Linus is back on Thursday, the Devils are on a winning streak.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Thoroughly entertaining. Goaltending was an obvious issue, but the team played really well for the vast majority of the game.

I double dog dare you to say something positive

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Dunno if it was on the broadcast but they welcomed DJ back on the jumbotron and he got a mix of cheers and boos but mostly boos. 1 guy stood up in our section and clapped and I'm pretty sure it was swiftwin.
