GDT: Ratelle Night

[Irishguy42]

What??

Referencing this: It’s D-Day for Erik Karlsson and the Ottawa Senators

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Karlsson going to Vegas?

Whose saying that?

 

[DanielBrassard]

At no point is allowing a shot ever better than not allowing a shot.

No kidding, but you are setting up an impossible dichotomy where the defenseman has total control over the play and can always choose to not allow a shot. Sometimes the only play he has is to try to force the shooter to take a less dangerous shot. It's not a matter of making the perfect play, which in this scenario is not allowing the shot, but making the best available play at that time.

 

[Bob Richards]

Why now, out of curiosity? The future is still relatively bleak.

Because I can catch their games way easier than some of these other teams and I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouri...........and the Nets.

 

[nevesis]

Lol

 

[GregSirico]

What??

THESCORE reporting it.

 

[Raspewtin]

two minutes for hitting

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Gilmour is doing everything he can for team tank.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Gilmour the new Miller

 

[member 116805]

Puck as right the f*** there

 

[GregSirico]

Whose saying that?

Apparently the hang up is Bobby Ryan. Ottawa wants them to take on his contract.

 

[Harbour Dog]

That's a weak ass call that might get the kid benched.

 

[Mandar]

Gilmore isn't happy right now....

 

[Tob]

Lucily for Gilmour, his 2018-2019 New York Rangers Head Coach isn't watching this game.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Watching the Rangers, it's amazing how far they really are from being a good team. On paper it doesn't seem that bad, but man are they hard to watch.

I completely understand that sometimes the defenseman has no choice. Sometimes forcing low danger is the only play.

O'Gara had a choice and made a conscious decision to allow a shot. Defensemen should never do that.

 

[mike14]

Dislike the Gilmour call. That should be a good play

 

[member 116805]

Yep, send Hayes to talk tomthe refs... "Eeeh, dude..."

 

[Mac n Gs]

What was said to the refs? My slingbox conked out

 

[mike14]

LOL @ Staal. Way to blame it on the crowd buddy

 

[Irishguy42]

The crowd almost f***ed us over. Great.

 

[Machinehead]

Re: that penalty

"I hate women's hockey because there's no hitting"

 

[EdJovanovski]

They're just reporting what The Ottawa Sun said which was pure speculation

 

[Hunter Gathers]

At no point is allowing a shot ever better than not allowing a shot.

Actually, that's also not true. If you have a team tiring you out in your zone and they take a stupid shot, your goalie can either cover it or they give up possession. I've seen this happen a bunch. An ill-advised shot deflects off the goalie into the crowd or out of the zone and allows for a change of possession or a change in lines.

 

[Machinehead]

The crowd almost ****ed us over. Great.

Wasn't me I'm on my phone
