GDT: oops now team is bad again and we must play hellteam to continue the streak

[The Faulker 27]

We should expect our 3rd pair D to get beaten badly from time to time. They’re 3rd pair D. Everyone has guys like this on their team.

We should not expect our goalie to allow 4 goals on the first 17 shots, at least two of which are soft as baby shit. That’s the sole issue right now.

Literally can't see it any other way.

Admittedly, I’d love to see our third pair get minutes that are more reflective of a sheltered third pair. They are playing too much.

Yep, our goalies are below the Darling line in save percentage. .857, .839, .800, and .833 the last 4 games before tonight. Our goaltending has been atrocious.

 

[Stickpucker]

Skjei gonna bail us out

 

[chaz4hockey]

He doesn't like when we get involved with that physical crap

Yup but that hit on lindholm won the Boston series for us.

He needs to hit guys. Doesn’t have to fight.

 

[Stickpucker]

I missed the line blend-o-matic its been too long

 

[VAcaniac]

i wouldnt skate for this goalie. This is so depressing

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Devils doing a nice job of clogging the house.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I was watching on a delay so I couldn’t post about it at the time but now I’m caught up.

It rocks that Pacioretty has 3 goals in 3 games and all 3 are the flukiest goals you’ll ever seen. Not a single normal goal.

 

[Canes]

At least when the team hits the links in mid April, they can look back to the bajillion game point streak in 2022.

3 times in less than a period? No.

Koochie hasn't been good today or the last few games, but that is not the "sole" issue. Aho, Svech, Turbo, Jarvis, all invisible. 3rd pair is a joke, neither of those guys are even decent #7s on a legit contender.

Fortunately, these are correctable issues for playoff time

Bean, Fleury and Bear? now i know you are trolling. Edmundson would get burned on every play by this fast NJ team. he is molasses slow.

Edmosnton doesnt get burn , he plays defence , hes in his zone , he doesnt go around net the going after a player , doesnt go mid our zone when 2 enney are near the goalie , sure Edsmonton is not gonna rush , but thats ok , not trolling Fleury was good defensely and Bean well eventuly will be much better than Chats , chats is a career AHL at best , like i said often he plays like he thinks hes bobby Orr without any scoring talent (by the way the bobby orr we drafted , sadly sucks , was traded from my hometown team) with Bear maybe was trolling but between Bear and Chats , i'd sadly pick bear

 

[Canes]

Coghlan is horrible.

 

[Stickpucker]

MaxPac now has as many goals in 3 games as Turbo and more than Stastny.

 

[tarheelhockey]

the Darling line

It’s like the Mendoza Line, except instead of going to the minors you become a professional comedian.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Max right now.

 

[Borsig]

kooch made a save

 

[Canes]

It’s like the Mendoza Line, except instead of going to the minors you become a professional comedian.

The Mendoza Line was my inspiration for coining the Darling Line a few years ago.

 

[hurricure]

Thank you Rod for finally realizing turbo shouldn’t be a f***ing 4th liner

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Palat is a bitch too who can go f*** himself.

 

[Tryamw]

Palat trying to kill Kooch diving head first.

So we have higher standards for our 3rd goalie who should still be in the AHL this year than our #5 and #6/7 defensemen?

Because it was pretty atrocious defending and goaltending. The difference is when the team is fully healthy those are still the 2 of 3 3rd pairing defensemen.

he didnt work in this system because he is slow and a poor skater. No kidding he doesnt go around the net to chase a player, he would lose the skate race 100 times out of 100. The only Edmundson ever did here was flipping up Lindholm's lid. thats it.

Bean is awful offensively and has to be protected more than Chats on D. what are you talking about? He doesnt play the body and is pushed around like a rag doll.

I don’t think Koch’s form is correctable in that time frame. He has a lot of work to do.

That goal cam tho
