GDT: Leaves at Canes

[tarheelhockey]

Shades of Hanifin there.

Hard to ever say anything about Slavins D but he got beat bad.

He could’ve played it better, but he shielded the threat to the point that there wasn’t even a shot taken. That goal is 100% on Andersen, what should have been a covered puck literally rolled past him.

Sigh. Time to go watch something else. We played badly on National TV

I often forget Stastny is on this team.

Yeah, he’s been worthless. Maybe it’s the role he’s in, but I’d rather someone who could skate faster in his role.

Staal fail

 

[MisterDobz]

Fail, fail fail….

Can’t agree. Slavifin has to get either the puck or the stick. He didn’t get either, got outplayed on the puck overall, lost position. Anderson may be off this season but that goes in on a lot of guys, Nylander got the last second change of direction on him.

I think Freddie looks the same as last year, it’s just different mojo. He’s been a slow moving, over trusting his position guy the whole time for us imo. Last year it worked so far it’s not really so far.

It will be easy to forget that one.

 

[Wolfpuck]

This team can be really good at playing flatter than week old soda and then getting torched on hilariously pathetic mistakes.

It will be easy to forget that one.

Forget what?

 

[Rick Davis]

Well have to say that the Loaf goalie whose name I can’t spell played a helluva game….

 

[surfzone365]

Sometimes it’s not your night. Can’t over rationalize it.

 

[CupInSIX]

It will be easy to forget that one.

what one?

 

[spockBokk]

Yick, early evening game + national TV + sub par 3rd string goalie = should have known better than to invest 2.5hrs

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Its time for the Mgmt team to approach Stastny and say:
“ if you want any chance of a good contract next year, we will need to find you more ice time elsewhere. It ain’t working here. What do you want?”

 

[DaveG]

One period of good hockey, then about 5 quality minutes of the third. The rest of the game the team was just completely disinterested and the final score is an apt reflection of the game

 

[Tryamw]

Since hes vet min we could waive him and call up Cardboard Cutout.

Some chump who the Wolves would devour in a playoff series but goes full Rain Man against the Canes.

Honestly it's probably time for management to realize we aren't a team that can go toe to toe with the best in the league. We can beat up on bad and mediocre teams but the best consistently whip us.

Our top line isn't good enough. We have an elite 2nd line but our top line is average at best. You aren't going to win the Cup with an average top line. And if our defense isn't playing it's ass off, our goalies kind of suck.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Ok, burn the jerseys.

 

[whiskers]

seriously , it would be so easy for teams to win against the Canes , demand an afternoon game and put a rookie or unknown goalie . I really hope Kochetkov will be ready next year , im so done with Andersen and looking at next year free agent goalies(not a great ufa year for goalies) we might be stuck re-signing him if koch isnt ready

Worrisome loss. Leaves are a good team, but canes should be better. Too many passengers on that bus.

I agree that Freddie is more or less the same as last year, and too much is made of these micro changes between games.

I don’t agree that that is a normal goal to allow. Slavin could have made a better play on the puck, but it’s an acceptable conservative option to shield the puck and let his goalie play it. There’s no reason any goalie at any level should let a loose puck just roll past him like that.

 

[spockBokk]

I’m ready to see Coghlan back in and some more speed in the bottom 6, not sure how you get speed tho with Dzingel, Drury and Rees as the potential call ups.

Agree on Stastny being very disappointing so far. Still, they’ve only played 12 games and won 2/3 of them, they’ll be fine, just need some fine tuning.
