GDT: Unsolved Mysteries ep.5 (1.29)

[Borsig]

For your auditory pleasure, highlights of the Jack Edwards call:

man those are two boring motherf***ers to listen to.


Boston was clearly tired. This doesn't look like the Boston I'm used to seeing lately. Thye'll be tougher in the ECF

 

[robbieberns]

Let’s go get ourselves a Horvat and go win ourselves a cup!

 

[Porvari]

Then what’s the deal with the f***ing Finns?

A good question in general.

 

[VAcaniac]

Crazy that we could finish with 120 points and not win the President’s trophy. Granted, I don’t really care about it..

It would be a nice banner.

If the Bruins lose to the Leafs on the road and we take care of business against the Kings and Sabres we'll be 5 points back of them. And we play them once more so outside of that game we'd just need to win 2 more games than the Bruins post All-Star break. Yes lots of "ifs" there and odds are the Bruins still stay on top but it's not as far away as it looked a few weeks ago.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Interesting, feels like it's been better than that lately. We rank 9th overall league wise.

With tonight's game factored in, our percentage jumped up 6 tenths of a percentage point to 84.2 in the last 21 games. We are 7th for the season now.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Didn't get to watch this one but looked like a hell of a win. That play and goal by Jarvis is one of the best I've seen this season. Just badass.

 

[Lempo]

Freddy has surprisingly little accent given that english is his second language.

Srcratch that Norman-French influence off and they're essentially the same folks.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I can still remember my U10 basketball coach saying the same thing as he was fussing at us and me having the same reaction as Mr Munster here. Fantastic guy though.

 

[Unhinged Finn]

It would have been nice to see a bears egg. It required a stick departure to ruin it all. Maybe we'll see it in the future. They seem to be rare and valuable. Picture for reference.

 

[Svechhammer]

Stolen from the main board....

 

[Svechhammer]

I feel like this should go to the main board to cause chaos. Everyone likes shitting on Marchand, right?

Hey, I know this stuff!! I'm currently reading through the Last Kindom series (already watched the show)

I feel like this should go to the main board to cause chaos. Everyone likes shitting on Marchand, right?

And somehow Svetch got penalized on that play lol

Very cool. Here are my highlights from Jack Edwards, not just tonight, but for his entire career.

he made 2 points in his career? that seems generous

 

[Discipline Daddy]

Dominant win. Of course they'll be better in the playoffs with some rest. But to me this does give a Canes fan hope. Boston relies too much on their top 6 forwards as well as McAvoy and Lindholm. The rest of their D is strong, but not as good top to bottom as ours is when Slavin is back in the helm. Their depth forwards aren't as strong and their offense relies more on the power play.

I'm going to be that asshole and complain about the refs. Seriously their only goal was directly because Aho was taken out of the play with the most blatant penalty of the night that went uncalled. The Skjei interference had the puck right there. The trip on De Haan was probably a legit penalty but he barely made any contact with the stick. It was 100% flashbacks of the 2019 series against Boston, where they could kill a man and then get a powerplay for it.

I kept trying to make it blank but hfboards made my post a short box. You are correct that that is very generous.

To me maybe the most important thing is that we have a decent showing at special teams. That's really been our achilles heel. Even scoring a PP goal and having a decent PK against Boston and still losing the game is not a bad result.

Also I'm going to be an asshole and quote myself but I did just want to make the point that our special teams looked really good. It looked like we had scouted / solved Boston's powerplay. We'll need to be this good on special teams to have a chance to advance.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

Yeah, that's about as clear as could be. Like I said, it's a vague recollection, but I am pretty sure there was a very similar play (might even have been against Aho) with no call made. Maybe it was back when I was on the official board and folks were referencing the slashing rule instead of interference.

It happened to TDA against the Rangers last year in the playoffs and led directly to a goal against similar to this one.

I can see why the refs might be hesitant to call it since you don't want players to start just letting go of the stick when the feel it being lifted but when it directly leads to a good chance like this one and the one last year they really need to crack down on it and call it.

 

[Stickpucker]

Let’s go get ourselves a Horvat and go win ourselves a cup!

Need to call JR during his nap time so he's half groggy when he picks up the phone and more likely to agree to our terms.

Just keep hammering home how important it is to bring a cup back to Raleigh, the repetition will make him think it’s 06 all over again.

 

[Stickpucker]

Woke up in a good place this am thinking about just how filthy Jarvis' goal last night was.

It makes me sad that Bobby Orr only played 657 games in his career, less than half of Burns, for example. He was an amazing player to watch and completely changed the game forever.
