GDT: Will the Canes need Xiaflex after this one? CAR-OTT

[chaz4hockey]

I think the problem with Bunting is he hasn’t looked great defensively. Rod doesn’t give much leeway when it comes to defensive assignments, screw up a few times and you’re in the shithouse for the foreseeable future. Fast track out of the shithouse, score a goal.

agreed plus he is not physical but rather a guy that just runs his mouth. I would have preferred the $4.5M be allocated for a power forward that hits

Canes Country has these lines in their write up from the morning skate apparently.

Brind’Amour apparently used the “blendomatic” for the lines in the morning skate.

Damn, way to ruin a good thing.

I’m excited to see if we get some more of that wonderful, and by wonderful I mean completely asinine, Staal vs Stutzle commentary from the ol’ Tripper tonight.

"Did you see the way Staal purposely lost that face-off to Stutzle so that the puck would go behind the next and Martinook could forecheck, allowing Fast to steal the puck and feed a wide open Staal in front of the net? And Staal was being cerebral putting the puck into the goalies pads to try and get a rebound. Even though he didn't score, that's next level thinking from the captain!"

Rod could be playing mind games with the Sens. And the media. And his own team. Just one giant mind f**k.

 

[Canes]

Didn't Martinook finally score a goal the other night? I think that calls for a promotion to the first line.

Handsome Rod has gone mad with power...Bring back Bates Battaglia

Win pls.

Thx in advance.

All those zeros look like a donut slide. Donut slides should be fun. This hasn't been fun.

Win.

Or lose.

Staal scored against Stutzles line during the first game. Phenomenal goal from Staal, really nice backhander if I remember correctly.

Then Tripp proceeded to go on a pretty good rant about how he wouldn’t trade a player like Staal in a million years for a guy like Stutzle.

Stutzle then proceeded to walk Staal like a dog and scored an almost highlight reel goal. The booth got pretty quiet for a few minutes after that one.

Rod wasn’t ever going to break up the Staal line. At least not for any significant amount of time.

 

[ndp]

Play like the Staal line or gtfo.

That ain’t coaching.

Plus doesn’t the Staal line have the worst goal differential of any line on the team right now?

Really putting those analytics to solid use.

Flip Staal and Drury. Staal hasn't earned it.

Not really. here's the 5v5

Martinook-Staal-Fast: -1
Bunting-KK-Necas: 0
Bunting-Aho-Jarvis: +3
Bunting-Drury-Noesen: -1
Lemieux-Drury-Noesen: +2
TT-Aho-Jarvis: +5
Svech-KK-Necas: -1
Svech-Aho-Jarvis: +2
TT-KK-Svech: -1

I would bet none of those are, other than +5 are that statistically different given the minutes together. On top of that, Martinook-Staal-Fast play against the toughest competition and with the least Ozone starts than any other line. They don't score, but they've only given up 7 goals against in 239 minutes of 5v5 play. I'm confident that any other line facing that level of competition for that many minutes would have a much worse goal differential.

Really putting those analytics to solid use.

Actually, given their quality of competition, ozone starts, Goals against, xGA/60, xG%, possession, etc... keeping them together is probably putting analytics to solid use. Splitting them up to get more scoring and hurt defensively/analytic metrics would be the antithesis of analytics.

I don't see Summer Ruutu on the top line, so we're not quite there yet.

Necas centering Staal is a sight I need to see before I die.
