GDT: Ratelle Night

[Irishguy42]

Jimmy Howard being Jimmy Howard

It`s unfortunate that we are behind 1-0 end of 1st.

Unable to score on a 2 on none

These are all not suprising.

Vic Hadfield getting his number retired

Cook continues to get underappreciated by this franchise. But I supposed it would have been awkward for Gilbert and Ratelle to be up there and not Hadfield.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Both lindgren and rykov are much better prospects than pionk come on

I thought the ranking would probably be

1. Rykov
2. Lindgren
3. Pionk

 

[Avery16]

extend Zucc for life after that check

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Fellas. We want Detroit to win.

Thank you!

Lose the battle to win the war.

 

[Siddi]

Are they putting Hadfield's name in the rafters next year?

yup

 

[Avery16]

Thank you!

Lose the battle to win the war.

Except this is more like "lose the battle to get a 6.7% chance of winning the war"

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I thought the ranking would probably be

1. Rykov
2. Lindgren
3. Pionk

It's a lot of guess-work though. Pionk is the oldest of the 3 at 22. D-men are long-term projects

 

[Trxjw]

I had no idea Booth was still in the NHL.

 

[GregSirico]

Can we get down to Arizona territory of losing?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I'm just not sure with cook who would be there at the ceremony. It'd be nice for his number to be up there along with Brad Park, those the two I feel should be up there, until it's time for Hank

Putting Zucc with Vesey and Miller is like buying a Lamborghini and then pissing in the exhaust

 

[Machinehead]

Finally back from Black Panther and dinner. What have I missed so far?

Lol

 

[Avery16]

Sure seems like everyone's all smiles after Nash traded

 

[FireGerardGallant]

There's a chance this is his last game here too

They're near the top in CF% tonight, so why are you complaining?

 

[Maximus]

Do any of my brothers in here have a link to the entire Ratelle number to the rafters ceremony? Me living here in Flyers country have to rely on my NHL Center Ice package. And seeing the game is on NHL Network tonight, I didn't get the MSG feed where I typically can watch the pregame festivities..

So if anyone has a link they can post so I can watch it, it would be most appreciated....thx in advance

 

[nevesis]

Because he’s watching the game live and doesn’t have access to the CHARTS BRUH.

 

[Machinehead]

[Hunter Gathers]

Doesn't matter if he stops 49 out of 50. A defenseman's only job is to stop the other team from shooting and we just saw why.

That's literally untrue. There isn't a single coach on the planet that would agree with that. The job is to either prevent shots or push shots to low scoring areas. The idea that any shot is a bad shot is simply untrue. At some point you are going to rely on your goalie. You want to give him the easiest saves possible.

I don't know hwy you think that somehow any shot allowed is bad. That's just a weird, inaccurate look at the game.

 

[Ori]

oh boy, Staal..

 

[Machinehead]

Hank pls

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Gilmour tank master

 

[nevesis]

Motherf***er.

 

[Mandar]

Yeah, I'm not even remotely upset at O'Gara. He was purely a throw in who was expendable for Boston. A couple Bruins fans came in here talking him up and I think that's where it started.

He might someday be an NHLer, but the third round pick was the crux of that deal.

I might agree....except why this Holdenesque guy gets to be on the big club instead of Graves is beyond me.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Dahlin!
