GDT: STORM FOLK @ KEEP OF THE ROYAL BASTARDS

[htdoc]

That was not pretty at all…. Painfully bad at times. Flush this one for sure…. Some folks need to forget that mess and painfully bad play…. Wow some of those shootout attempts were pitiful…..I’m coaching 10 year olds that would show them up.. yikes that was not good…. Only saving grace is we at least get the points…

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Ugly wins are still wins. I remember the days when the shoe was on the other foot. Great teams win these sorts of games, too.

 

[spockBokk]

Got outplayed and outreffed, still came away with 2pts. I can live with it.

Most of the bad attempts I will chalk up to most of these guys not being shootout players. At least we had Marty to close it.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Yeah, the refs should probably make sure the tape gets burned on that one too.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Yayzzzzz

 

[Tryamw]

We need to not be so careless as much as I felt we got called for more stuff we put ourselves in that position.. Need to just bear down and win

They apparently do get graded after every game. That ain't gonna be a pleasant call with Stephen Walkom.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Two points is two points, but man these have been some ugly games.

 

[htdoc]

Interesting mugging for the camera in the background of martinook interview……. Little dance moves if that is what we want to call it?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Refs have bad nights too. No idea how good those guys generally are and I don't go in for conspiracies. We put ourselves in bad positions all the time and our style of play contributes. But they were bad and had some kinda bizarre moments. Even times when I thought we took penalties we didn't get called for that looked more egregious than what we actually got called for. But shit happens.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

AT THIS POINT OF THE SEASON I’D PREFER NOT TO WIN THIS FU^KING UGLY, BUT SINCE I AM RESULT-ORIENTED I AM GONNA BE ONLY PARTIALLY MAD.

My phone died but let the record show:
A middle aged woman said I was disrespectful after starting a flop, flop, flop chant.

If only that woman saw playoff Canes me. This was like a 3/10 event for me.

Every kings fan around me taunted me when they tied it but I was quiet and didnt mock them.

I got home, charged my phone, and im not in jail.

Good night. Good canes win.

[bleedgreen]

We won’t remember the game at the end of the season but we’ll count the points. Moving on.

 

[Porvari]

Apparently the clock has been reset and Aho's breakaway move again comes as a surprise to goalies.

 

[HisIceness]

Not exactly thrilled to learn they blew a 5-2 lead but I'm happy to wake up to victory.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Did the league worn the teams that they were going to go full letter of the law on holding?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I stopped watching after OT.

Rod’s definitely frustrated about the play. We only added a couple of guys and these guys know better. D zone coverage and watching defense pitch in the zone (calling out necas not by name).

Crazy thing is were only expected to score 2 goals last night although Kings were only expected to score 3.14 goals.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Much like the NFL, when you give almost no f***s about preseason, play is going to be sloppy early on. And I've seen plenty of sloppy hockey around the league. Brindy hates it more than most, so not surprising. Throw in an early game where their bodies are pretty sure they're finishing at 1:30 and it is what it is.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

@Boom Boom Apathy riddle me this...why is LAs power play so good without all those 1oa picks?

Not sure why you are tagging me, but you seem like a smart fella, so what did you see? How did they do it? What strategies did the employ? What caused them to score 2 goals last night, and also give up 2 shorties?

Elite talent definitely helps a PP, as we've seen over the years. There's no question about that, but as I've mentioned in the past, teams like STL have succeeded without having elite talent. As I said back then, I didn't watch STL enough to know what were the keys to their success, nor have I watched enough of LA. What did you see last night that made LA's PP so good? And what changes would you want the Canes to employ in terms of their PP strategy? No question the PP has been a sore spot that needs improvement.

If I had watched LA enough (or STL in prior years), I'd be glad to give my view of what makes them successful, but I haven't.

 

[WreckingCrew]

(Missed the 2nd & 3rd periods) So Canes PP scores 0 but SH scores 2, gave up 3 goal leads, and the tying goal with <90 sec? Sounds like an infuriatingly sloppy game? Glad I missed the worst of it

 

[Joe McGrath]

Yeah I fell asleep at 5-2. Sounds like a solid “choice” I made.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

The hands and skill we've needed for years is showing up in the first 2 games:

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Orlov playing the least of all defensemen is a sight. Gotta give Pesce his 23 mins and be on the ice for every late tying goal though.
