GDT: Mediocre storms collide | Tropical Depressions vs. Bolts

[Jussijuice]

4 guys standing around waiting for someone to pass them the puck. That's how everyone does 5-on-3s right?

 

[sticknpuck]

dat hesitation

 

[What the Faulk]

Bishop didn't even really have to make a difficult save.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Tripp, Bishops a good goalie, but we've done very little to challenge him.

 

[SeaBasstian]

please dont ever let Ruutu take an offenzive zone entry on the PP again. those were HORRIBLE.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

"I hate pulling the hot goalie card."

Really, Tripp? You do?

 

[tomdundo]

Two on one...with Harrison!


Not the words I wanted to hear.

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

Pittsburgh: Crosby, Malkin

Chicago: Toews, Kane

The above is why the Penguins and Blackhawks won the Cup, not because they finished 9th several years in a row while trying really hard and creating a winning culture. The last two times we've had a top 5 pick we drafted two guys that are now NHL captains. Do you think we'll create a winning culture by missing out on the playoffs and drafting crappy players? Or drafting another captain that will bring a winning culture while also, you know, knowing how to play hockey?

Making the playoffs is the roadblock, because anything can happen once it's cleared. There has been enough talent every year to have made it. You're talking about Captains yet during those seasons the high-talent who's now captain of this team just decided not to use it for the first couple months as a yearly routine after 09. They missed twice on the last game of the season by losing, and they're choking this one away as well by losing to teams weak and strong.

Talk of tanking when a teams still controls their own destiny to make the playoffs is ridiculous

 

[What the Faulk]

They're going to put up like 50 shots tonight

 

[tomdundo]

Could McBain play that any worse?

 

[Anton H Christ]

>4th line on ice

>dman pinches on the red line

>/me facepalm


edit: lol it WAS mcbain i didnt want to just assume it was him.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

I don't feel good about this game, Tampa needs another goal

 

[What the Faulk]

They're not on the same page at all tonight

 

[gocanes88]

"To Semin, who's in... ALL the way in!"

Not what I'm addressing. I agree, I think until you're mathematically eliminated the goal is the playoffs, common ground there brother. But to actually suggest that ending the season with a loss to put us in 9th place is an overall better outcome for the future than ending with a top 5 pick, because "hey at least they were close"? That roadblock works both ways.

 

[tomdundo]

Harrison has everywhere to shoot...and ends up pelting St. Louis.


Haha "Bergeron turns it over again...that's three on this shift!"

 

[gocanes88]

Bergeron... the guys in white aren't on your team anymore.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Bergeron embracing the tank.

 

[Clark Gillies]

John counting Bergeron TO's in the shift.

 

[Jussijuice]

I think I'm seeing why Bergeron was sitting in the press box the past 3 years.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Haha, **** this.

 

[Novacane]

Wooooo!

 

[Lazyking]

MAB makes Mcbain look like a Norris winner.

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

Lol Bergeron forgot what color he's wearing

 

[Lucky Lindy]

MAB makes Mcbain look like a Norris winner.

McBain won Norris in my save on NHL 13.
