GDT: [SCP R2 GM7] Dallas Stars vs. Seattle Kraken - 7:00 PM CT (ESPN)

[account deactivated]

Same SOG for both teams, each 0/1 on the PP, but Seattle has over a dozen blocked shots and Dallas has like 2. Sheesh.

 

[M88K]

why does miller look so lost

He went to the Buffalo school of how to play defense

 

[Henderson33]

Great period.

If they could start games like that more often we wouldn't be in a game 7 situation...

 

[Kipper 17]

Damn. We were the better team but didn’t get rewarded. Shots are close but there is no way shot attempts are close and the Kraken like to throw everything at the net.

I feel like a few of our wins this playoffs looked this after the first period. Just got to keep the pressure up and get those shots through.

 

[Klockis]

Just need to keep playing like this and we'll eventually score a few.

 

[M88K]

id love domi, but our D depth aint too great
i think if we can keep one of domi/dadonov.. dadonov could make more cap sense

but im no ologist either
i really like domi, but hes trying to get Real Paid….rrrright?

It depends on what either of them want, there's scenarios, with other line up changes where both "could" be retained, but it's unlikely and it would mean Nill would have to actually do something

 

[redbeardtx]

It's the same reason that people shit on Faksa, there's no offense, so the best you get is no goals against when they are on the ice, but they almost never help in the offensive zone

That's true, but you need those type of players to win games. They got way overplayed when Bowness was here, but I think PDB uses them well. PK, defending a lead late, killing time off the clock, etc. They do their job when called upon, plus we never have to worry about their work ethic and hustle

 

[ElGuapo]

0-0 favors the road team

Just have to get that first goal whenever that is.

 

[roryjones]

Could use some offense from our defense tonight. Need goals.

Not disagreeing that they always put in tons of effort, ideally you don't have one dimensional possession black holes, they're the forward versions of Hakanpaa and Lindell.
Like I said generally the most you hope for is they don't give up a goal.

 

[Amorgus]

Ugh, screw Torts

Is Sportsnet going to dedicate the second half of every intermission to “what will the Leafs do?!” for the rest of the playoffs?

Yeah, they've done that for years

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Bieksa ripping into Robertson. That was funny.

 

[roryjones]

Need a great 2nd period. Need to come out as score. Get that crowd going.

I mean, 95% of people in Canada don't give a shit about Dallas/Seattle commentary.

True, but even if this was an Edmonton game, the same would happen

 

[Amorgus]

I mean, 95% of people in Canada don't give a shit about Dallas/Seattle commentary.

The best part of these playoffs are all the angry Canadians.

 

[roryjones]

Bieksa ripping into Robertson. That was funny.

What did he say?

 

[MrHeiskanen]

What did he say?

Elliott said he scored 87 goals the last two years, and he said that's higher than his heart rate tonight. Aka coasting Andy

That’s a valid point. Robo was invisible in the first.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

That’s a valid point. Robo was invisible in the first.

The first? The entire playoffs, remember his hustle when Hintz was injured? Where's that guy?

They also don’t love the force feeding of the Leafs. The main reason I hate the Leafs is how much they are force fed to us.

Edit: to be clear, I have other reasons for hating them. But we don’t need to get into that. Positive vibes people.

True. I hate Toronto sports networks.. aka all the sports networks in Canada.

 

[Zapp]

That’s a valid point. Robo was invisible in the first.

His first two shifts he was showing silky mitts and making passes. He’s been in his head all playoffs. Just needs to stop thinking and play his game.
