GDT: Los Angeles Kings vs Montreal Canadiens 11/10/16 7:30pm EST SN360, RDS, TSN 690

[TT1]

Just before his goal, Byron also did a hell of a job to protect the puck from Martinez before moving it and heading straight to the net.

When i saw that i told my dad "damn Radulov is hard to knock off the puck".. then saw it was Byron . He really looked like Radu on that play.

I want to see this right now :

Pacioretty - Plekanec - Gallagher
Byron - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Carr - Danault - Shaw
Andrighetto - Mitchell - Flynn

When Lekhonen comes back :

Pacioretty - Plekanec - Gallagher
Lekhonen - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Byron - Danault - Shaw
Carr - Mitchell - Andrighetto
Flynn

No more DD , he doesn't add anything to this team and I'm not basing this on 1 period of hockey.

Byron looks good on that line, Lehkonen may have to earn it.

Byron - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Pacioretty - Plekanec - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Danault - Shaw
Carr - Mitchell - Andrighetto

Flynn

Now we just need to pawn off DD (I'd even retain 50%) to some team for whatever

how about a ping pong table for DD some team must be interested

Keeping Flynn...****ing idiots! Carr would probably have had 3-4 goals by now.

 

[TT1]

Haven't seen anything from Lehkonen to warrant him a top 9 spot, i'd put Ghetto or Carr on the 3rd line and Lehkonen on the 4th (instead of Flynn).

Without DD the team is actually free to play hockey and although this is a very simple statement it is actually vey true. There is an element of offense and defense on each line with no player having to break from his role to cover for the deficiencies of Desharnais.

 

[Chez Weber]

Definitely his easiest 1st period of the year. (Not sure about ALL periods though)

Right. I maybe made a bit an overstatement

 

[CH25]

DD will be in Vegas next October

 

[CHwest]

Great period! I wonder if the team is playing to keep DD out of the line up.

 

[Treb]

Throw DD off the team and bring Big Mac!

Lehkonen will probably be back in around a week. I'd probably call Terry to give him a week on NHL paycheck and warm the pressbox. Unless you plan to bench Flynn (which I don't see happening for McCarron), calling McCarron up is a waste of his time.

 

[Chez Weber]

DD will be in Vegas next October

He will be a 1st line C either at Vegas or Laval

 

[Redux91]

Danault has won 5 of his 6 faceoffs.

He was pretty renown for his face offs when first heard of him

i know DD could win a face off too, but almost always gets completely incapacitated EVERY draw, every single tie up, he either falls, or gets pinned and cant move, more than anyone ive ever seen

so at least its nice to see some kind of consistency early on from Danault, its early, but its nice. lol

Thought the NHL wanted the expansion teams to be competitive out of the gate this time around?

 

[TT1]

Btw, really good period for Patches too

Dealing Blackjack? I kid, I kid.

 

[lou4gehrig]

DD healthy scratch? Are you serious!? Does not compute.....

 

[sampollock]

Working in the mirage?

I agree with this 100% !!!!

Whoever played with DD had to play like it was 5 on 4 in defensive zone.

Having everyone on every line working hard and back checking hard is fun to watch!

 

[Treb]

how about a ping pong table for DD some team must be interested

I'd even go for half a Rubik's cube for DD@50%.

 

[Tyson]

Btw, really good period for Patches too

I noticed that too. He had good jump. Made some good plays.

 

[Account Terminated]

Daniel "That was a reasonable answer that made sense" Carr

 

[Belial]

See Scrubadam, Belial, prairie hab and Southern Hab, people are happy when we are winning and playing well.

Now we just need to pawn off DD (I'd even retain 50%) to some team for whatever

The thing is we knew this team is capable to play like this, a couple of bad games didn't change our mind.

 

[Redux91]

DD will be in Vegas next October

Nah

Even Vegas will be like "ehhhhh...can you name the other 15 centers again?"

 

[OldCraig71]

DD was our best option they said.

Me: What about Danault and Mitchell?

They: DD is our best option.

I clearly do not know hockey.

Patches played quite well,broke up some plays before they developed into scoring chances.
