GDT: LXXXI | "Closing Time, You Don't Have To Go Home But You Can't Stay Here" | Oilers @ Coyotes | 4.17.24 | 8:00PM | SN

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Fire drill team defending to end the period. Desharnais with a soft, slow backhand rim around to Broberg who has to wait on the puck. Then he dumps it out late to a forward who turns it over. Soft team coverage leads to a late buzzer shot that beats Pickard but not the buzzer. Broberg earlier showing too conservative at giving up the offensive blue line. Too safe.

Easy money to be made. The Arizona owner ran a horrendous team, facility, etc., and still doubled his investment lol

The NHL's version of a slum lord.

He just doesnt play with enough jam.

f*** cancer.

 

[Victor000]

So are Nurse, Ceci, and Ryan just getting rest? I'm going to assume Kane is actually banged up, since that seems to e the case more often than not.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Carrick scoring gives us 13 players with double digit goals.

 

[McDoused]

Broberg needs time to cook with Coffey. He's going to silence a lot of the critics.

 

[oobga]

Oh no Jeff Carter is retiring? How sad.

League loses an elite party dude player. Sad day

But it will affect the quality of on ice product at some point. There are already teams like Anaheim and San Jose that barely have NHL-level talent. Imagine adding 4 more teams (that's around 100 extra players). What will happen is that better players will naturally gravitate towards better clubs and bottom-feeders will be signing horcoffs (or foegele's and bjugstads) to massive contracts just to fill their rosters.

He bailed on the Jackets to gravy train a couple Cups. Zero respect for that quitter.

 

[McJC]

Damn, what a powerful message that was. Seriously, f*** cancer

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Dang Stecher really is short lol. Yamamoto size

This is a huge offseason for him. Either he becomes a NHL player or he starts to look like what could amount to be an AHL allstar and not much else.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Louie taking a dump?

 

[rickysusedsht]

Wtf sportsnet how hard is it to cut commercials and get back to the game

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

He just doesnt play with enough jam.

That's not his game. But the area he needs to improve to be effective at the NHL level. Pure European style positional defender. Some Ekholm mentorship maybe brings that out with some game time and confidence.

At this point, our only good prospect in the AHL though.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

There he is. F

 

[nexttothemoon]

Oh look... there's an NHL game on... Sportsnet did you know?

I'm more worried about lack of fans/revenue rather than a lack of talent. Dropping an NHL team into a big market doesn't guarantee success. Just ask Atlanta.

this was a good chance to say they he should "percolate" with Coffey

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Was it a mistake to trade Kesselring?
