Post-Game Talk: Old Joe the Science Bro

[Shesterkybomb]

Hopefully Zibs can get it together, we aren't going anywhere with this version

That was ugly after the 2-0 goal, Dallas ate the Rangers up in the neutral zone pretty much all night. It’s tough though when your top line is so anemic, you are asking for the 3rd and 4th line to pick up the slack and they aren’t going to do so consistently.

I'm gonna stay calm. Staying at 2 regulation losses to remain in the stratosphere with Boston would've been nice. But still 12-3-2 and with games in hand on almost every team

$8.5 million

$8.5 million for a ing Swedish caveman who has mustered a total of 1 God damn point in the last 7 games!

$8.5 million!

"Oh, but he had a kid."

...Is it dead?

Martin St. Louis' mother died. Backs against the wall against the Pens. Down 3-1. He rallied. They rallied behind that loss and went to the SCF.

So...f***ING TELL ME WHAT'S UP OUR 1C'S TWAT?!

I wanna bite a God damned Rottweiler!!

Be careful, I’ve heard they bite back.

 

[Tob]

ok how is finland western europe

anything other than soviet states is western europe

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Be careful, I’ve heard they bite back.

Not if you let go of the initial bite.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Hurt what other lines? We have one good one right now and they've been good with two different centers.

Other lines are contributing. Vesy scored some big goals, 3rd line was decent before Chytil got hurt and Tro was moved up. The Mika line has been shit. The 2 vets have been shit at ES. I’ll give Kreider more leeyway because he is doing something on the PP, but Mika has been straight ass.

This.

Promote the 2nd line to 1st and drop those fools back to 2nd or even 3rd. 3rd and 4th line outplaying your top minutes line. No, Lavi. Just no.

 

[Machinehead]

The game turned on the dumb Goodrow penalty imo

Can't bring that up because other guys were bad!

Even when Mika sucks, I get what Mika is supposed to do, and has the potential to do.

This is what Goodrow does. This was him at his best.

 

[duhmetreE]

Was that before or after Mika couldn’t handle a pass and led to a massive momentum shift?

 

[huerter]

This.

How would you know when the promotion happens?

 

[Sisu4ever]

ok how is finland western europe

I can't tell you because we are not allowed to discuss politics here.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Game turned when the Stars announced the Modano statue. Are other teams going to announce statues every game? I think not.

Yeah. Dallas took over the neutral zone and their transition game like I said is very good. Puck management was critical tonight.

 

[duhmetreE]

I have an idea.

How about some shooting drills in practice

That line wasn't any good when Trocheck was on it.

We can't go through the season with one line so it doesn't make sense to keep putting the same shit out trying to preserve that one line.

 

[ReddestRum]

How would you know when the promotion happens?

When Kreider and Zbad arent getting more minutes than everyone else?

 

[mike14]

I can't tell you because we are not allowed to discuss politics here.

Geography is fine though

 

[KennyWu]

I actually thought Marchment (smartly) saw Badrow's stick up and skated into it for that call

 

[Machinehead]

If we just had another halfway effective line, we'd be in very good shape.

We changed the RW and it didn't really help. The problem is the center and LW don't do anything together anymore.

 

[Machinehead]

He definitely did but why was Goodrow skating around pretending to be a samurai?

 

[will1066]

On the tuck in opportunity, Zib shows why he is soft. A combination of his fly-by passiveness combined with the defender edging him off. He needed to get to the front of the net as the puck skips along laterally from Kreider's rebound. Cause havoc. Maybe the puck goes off a skate or a body. He ends up behind the net and tries to reach back and it wasn't even close.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

We were due for a non 60 minute stinker.

Ziba needs to simplify his game and get his head out of his hip pants. For someone struggling to generate anything or place a shot on the PP just way too much fluff to his game.

Kreider. Same. Fancy isn't your game. Head down, drive to the net 5 v 5.

Kaako needs to figure out how to get to the center of the ice and shoot. This version of Kaako is worse than Rookie Kaako offensively.

Zac Jones enjoy the coffee while you can. You are an AHLer until you figure out how to protect the house without eliminating yourself.

Igor way too leaky and needs to battle more. The stuff in front of the net with loose pucks or leaking pucks through is his biggest downfall, especially in the playoffs.

 

[duhmetreE]

not a fan of pulling a goalie on a PP. down by 2.

If anything, if you do pull the goalie get another big body in front ( Wheeler )

the shrewd move would be to swap Laffy for Zibs.... but we can't have that
