GDT: R1G6 | Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders | April 28th | 7:00 PM | F/2-1 OTL

[Mr Misunderstood]

Bo Horvat is worse than Jason Bay

He’s like an alive Dead Lowrie

 

[heatedskates]

I would've taken a timeout, well before, people may have different philosophies. Your team is struggling. There's an apparent shift in momentum, and a function of that is NYI looked PASSIVE.

Amazing how coaches mismanage their ability to call timeout.

 

[Steve55]

I am stressed

My stress started the moment I tuned into the game just before the 5 minute mark of the third.

 

[BarzyWally33]

Just completely overmatched and got beat by a lousy team that didnt show up for two periods.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Look at the Bruins PP, Marchand carrying to move the defense…

 

[BelovedIsles]

I said this 7 mins into the 3rd.... Take a T.O.

Your team is about, perhaps, to be *eliminated. What's the harm? Do you lose a coach's challenge or something (still not worth it, IMHO).

I’m trying not to get on Barzal too badly because he was out for a while and clearly isn’t at 100%, but it’s becoming a pattern with him where he doesn’t show up in key moments. That chance he had earlier with the puck laying right in front of the net needs to be converted and I have a bad feeling that’s going to end up being the difference in this one that we look back on.

Hey Barzal carries the puck right into the defender’s stick

 

[periferal]

Lou did not read the fine print from the Canucks.

Totally with you

 

[Barzaltrick]

What happens if there's no god?

then RIP

“Absolutely no backsies”

Maybe beside the point, but Lee skated right into the goalie and it wouldn’t have counted anyway

No stress....two minutes into the third i saw this coming....

He's not a #1 star guy. Period. He needs to be the #2-3 offensive guy. He's not a leader of men, nor does he truly drive play and momentum. Very good player, but not a #1 legit guy

I don’t think moving him to wing is helping. His strength is transition. He skates the puck out of our zone into the other teams. He isn’t a stop start player. They tried this before and it didn’t work.

 

[JayDog16]

What an embarrassment we're in ot right now

 

[BelovedIsles]

Amazing how coaches mismanage their ability to call timeout.

I think we should go back to Wang's style (only in this domain); leadership by committee. 'HF coach' would outcoach many NHL coaches. We have a lot of experienced, insightful posters here.

 

[The Real JT]

Does Horvat exist

If an expensive UFA falls down in a forest and no one is there does he make a sound?

 

[JayDog16]

Then his main priority this off-season is working on faceoffs

C’mon!!!

but but he scored the GWG last game

 

[13th Floor]

Lundqvist is incapable of saying anything positive about the Islanders. So stupid.

 

[SI90]

My heart can’t take this shit.

Kotkinemi grabbed Barzal jersey

 

[JayDog16]

Best part of losing this game, which we will, is changes are coming this off-season.
