GDT: Playoffs G2: Wild @ Golden Knights | 10PM

[Waiver Draft]

 

[Soldier13Fox]

I initially thought that the Wolves started at 7 central and was looking forward to a solid, if ending late night, block of game 2s. Alas, 7 pacific. Crude!

Let's go Wild. Don't have high hopes tonight, but we showed up OK for game 1. Let's do that again, but slightly better!

Who’s staying up late?

My usual Tuesday DnD is happening and ending at 10:30, so I might as well, the game will have just started. I might not make it to the 3rd period, though.

 

[MNRube]

Who’s staying up late?

I plan to. Hoping for a post work nap. And a wild victory, of course

Who’s staying up late?

I'm on the east coast and old, so not a chance. Ridiculous start time but then I can save time by watching the nine minute recap tomorrow.

Taking it period by period.

Who’s staying up late?

These late starts are actually preferable for us Europeans. Just need to wake up 1-2 hours earlier than normally.

It would get tricky if any of these games had multiple overtimes though.

 

[Sweetnut]

Starts 5 AM local time, so no go for me. Should be at work between 6.30 and 7.
Who am I kidding, probably starts 5.15 with all the usual pre game shenanigans.

Is this the game where Hynes starts MAF because of some useless potential record?
And puts Johnny f***ing Merrill back in the lineup?

6-2 Vegas. Faber and Ek scores.

We should be safe, his "consecutive years in playoffs" streak was already broken last season.

 

[Grouch]

No d-man line changes. Swaps Hartman and Rossi. Brazeau still in over Hinostroza. WTF

When we're watching the parade down Kellogg, we're going to look at the Hartman-Rossi swap as the TSN turning point for the whole playoffs. Well done Hynes.

 

[NHL1674]

Hynes is clueless. The one single lineup change won't do jack s@!#$. Gonna try to keep pounding that square peg into a round hole.

 

[NHL1674]

I understand that Rossi has been struggling. There's rumors that he's been hurt. All of that aside, what bothers me is that they want more out of him, yet they put him with players that won't help his cause. They put him in a situation that won't help him succeed, and then punish him for failing. Even Boldy and Kaprizov would do worse with those linemates. It was his FIRST playoff game. He wasn't good. So now, we're gonna put him with Trenin and Brazeau on the 4th line, and demand that he do better. It makes no sense.

 

[Luceni]

I'm shocked seeing Rossi on the 4th line. Thats the guy who carried this team along side with boldy for 2/3 of the season. He's scored 60p this season. What does Hynes expect when he puts the most talented C on the roster onto the 4th line with f***ing trenin & Brazeau?

Except most of the times these days it's used ironically or sarcastically. I think. I don't know, that's how I use it mostly.

TBF the 4th line was better than the 2nd and 3rd lines in G1.

I don't like the fit but maybe Rossi will make it a mismatch if VGK runs 4th line against 4th line?

okay, thanks. It wasn't a familiar term for me, so I didn't know if it was some random thing the came out of Walz mouth that turned into an inside joke.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Didn't Gaudreau have, by far, the worst advanced in game 1?

An injured Rossi won't make the difference with the worst linemates you can imagine. Normally you try to get your 60p center going and put him out there with better guys. Burying him onto the 4th line behind Freddy G & Hartman won't help him.

But it doesn't matter. He should be benched if hynes doesn't trust him. 10 min a game with Trenin and Brazeau won't help him.

I thought Foligno did but yeah that entire second line was completely useless I don't know why it's still together.

Which stats? I sorted by xGF%, but there are the full on ice stats.

Nyquist is the surprising high one for me.

Good reason not to trust those stats
