GDT: Unsolved Mysteries ep.8 (2.11)

[Negan4Coach]

Which ones? I’m seeing 30 teams behind us in the standings. How are they letting up their goals?

IDK, Halak for one? Their backup? Do other teams outshoot their opponents 2 and 3 to 1?

I mean I didn’t really expect them to win tonight, but, many goals on not many shots= common theme despite win record.

Rags fans celebrating like they won the Cup in the main board Panarin thread lol.

That’s because most teams don’t average giving up 20 shots a game.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I think the need for scoring is fairly obvious and well understood by the front office. They have $10m in cap space and I don’t think it’s going to a dman. They’ll get reinforcements. It might not be Meier or some other guy we think it is. But they’re aware, lol.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Let’s see how it plays out. Gallant is a terrible coach and all their stars are massive softies. Teams don’t go far in consecutive years relying on riding elite goaltending and powerplays. They aren’t a good 5v5 team. Anything can happen, it’s sports. But if I were a betting man I’d put money on the Devils or any other team against them easily

They're 3rd in GAPG this season, almost tied in PK% with us, and have a better power play. I hate the Rags but they won't be an easy out for any team.

I just dont wanna get some 3rd liner that isnt gonna end up doing that much for us. We need a legit top 6 guy right now.

Defence is scoring too

On the bright side, Toronto lose against Columbus, after leading, at home

 

[LBS I Digress]

We’ve been the better team for the majority of two games now against the rags and lost both times. They need to be careful and not let this team get too far into their head.

Getting at least one win out of them two we have against them in March will probably be big for our mental heading to the post season.

That's typical Toronto.

 

[CandyCanes]

Gotta find a way to get Svech going again. I’d like to see Svech - Aho - TT make a return.

And not just any top 6 player, we need a legitimate top 6 player with a shoot first mindset that puts the puck on net

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Rangers fans are pretty obsessed with us lol

I hope we pick a player that meshes well with him.

In fairness, we do have a poster that really stirs the pot when it comes to the Rangers. Shoe on the other foot, there’d be a similar reaction from our side.

Get some (veteran) depth grinders to bottom 6 and 3rd pair plug, save important picks, defence wins cups not rentals

 

[Negan4Coach]

That’s because most teams don’t average giving up 20 shots a game.

Look, I’m not interested in spin.

It is what it is- and obviously not too big a deal in the regular season, but you can’t be like “3 goals on 15 shots is just fine”

In other words, don’t let the Rags become the next Bruins to us.

Defense and special teams win cups. Bottom 6 is not what we want. Our PK% is fine. Our PP is abysmal. We need scoring talent.

This isn’t spin. If you give up 10 high danger chances in 20 shots ior 10 high danger chances on 40 shots you’re just as likely to give up the same amount of goals.

 

[Svechhammer]

Do the top players on other teams routinely go through the kind of scoring droughts that Svech and Aho seem to go through every year? I know Aho was dry for a long while earlier and now Svech is 16 games without a goal.

Canes players themselves seem to agree with you:

Other than McDavid? Yes.

For example, between November and December Panarin had 1 goal in 21 games.

 

[HydratedByStormBrew]

I’m tempted to make a thread. But what is going on with Svech? Hasn’t scored since December.

 

[Svechhammer]

Fair enough, thanks. I genuinely didn't know.
