GDT: Yep, it's these #~(&!%@ guys again. CAR/CLB 3/25/2021

[Roboturner913]

That's a stretch. We really miss Teuvo and Trocheck. Several guys, however, have started to step up, particularly Necas.

I don't have the sense the team (on the ice anyway) has really suffered from Teravainen specifically being gone. When Tro got hurt, it became noticeable at that point

 

[Joe McGrath]

I mean, when Tro comes back, we've got two legit #1 NHL lines. Aho/Necas/Nino, Tro/Turbo/Svech.

It's insane.

Im really interested to see what it looks like when someone has to choose to matchup with either NAN or STT. Good f***ing luck with that.

If it was just Trocheck hurt and Turbo was healthy, I don't think we would've skipped a beat, either. Having both out is the kicker.

 

[Svechhammer]

No exaggeration.... If Ned really is THIS good, we are ready for a Cup run. And we are officially in a 5-10 year window right now.


Also, Ned completely stole us 2 points tonight. He made some unreal saves that kept us in it. That's the one thing from our team we've been missing the last couple years, so if that's what we have, that's scary.

They'd need a Carolina D-core for that.

Definitely. Necas developing and Nino bouncing back in a big way have helped mitigate our offensive losses due to injury.

Yo dawg, I feel like you were born in the wrong era. You're not supposed to be a doctor you're supposed to be singing songs on a pirate ship.

TO BE HONEST, THIS WAS A QUICK REHASH OF THE SAME CONTENT CREATOR I USED FOR A SONG EARLIER. I MEAN EVERY SONG I DO IS JUST ME TAKING LIBERTIES WITH LYRICS.

AND WHILE I HAVE A GOOD EAR (NEAT FOR LANGUAGES), MY SINGING... IS BEST RESERVED FOR DEEP METAL SOUNDS AND DRUNKEN ESCAPADES.


WRITING IS ORIGINAL WORK THOUGH.
WITH REGARD TO THE ERA... EH, I AM FINE AS IT IS. I JUST HAVE A DIFFERENT ENERGY THAN MOST FOLKS IN THE BUSINESS. AND I GOT OUTLETS TO RELEASE IT.

Heck, the way that Brindy had it organized before essentially gives you a first line and 2 second lines:

Niederreiter-Trocheck-Necas
Foegele-Aho-Teravainen
Svechnikov-Staal-Fast
McGinn-Paquette-Martinook

And two 4th lines. We're essentially cheating playing five lines.

JUST SWITCH STONEHANDS FOR SOMEONE ELSE...

 

[Roboturner913]

Two of their goals came off the backboards and banked in off the goalie's back - granted, that's mostly because Ned is small and has to be aggressive to make up for it. So you take the bad with the good.

The other goal bounced off Dougie's leg. Those aren't bad goals for him to give up, they're just a combination of shitty luck and not being absolutely perfect.

 

[jstaal]

Just picked him up in fantasy hnnng

i have had him on my team for awhile..

Fingers crossed for Conor Garland or Filip Forsberg...

Can't have too many top shelf options

Turbo getting hurt is kind of a blessing for Aho and Necas because it takes Aho’s safety blanket away and let’s Necas play with someone who can actually keep up with him. Svech and Turbo are better together too IMO. This could be the recipe for an absolute wagon.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Holy shit LOL

Sara: "Do you feel like Alex justified your decision to start him 2 straight tonight?"

Rod: "Why, were you doubting it?"

AHAHAHAHAHA

YOUR OPTIMISM IS ALMOST INFECTIVE.

GIRL GOT PLAYED. HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US WHEN YOU PLAY THE GAME.

I think there's a recency bias here. Turbo and Aho are usually a freak show together. When healthy, you keep those two as one unit.

The way Necas has played really helps the whole lineup because when Turbo comes back he doesn't have to be next to Aho. You can put Turbo on the Svech-Staal line instead; Aho and Necas are so good together they only need a third wheel player.

They have some great interactions. RBA's facial expressions are worth the price of admission to see.

My heart just wants to see this again before the end of the season

 

[Lempo]

I'm getting lots of Cloudflare, is Toronto doing something stupid?

 

[Joe McGrath]

I think there's a recency bias here. Turbo and Aho are usually a freak show together. When healthy, you keep those two as one unit.

Or you don’t because it unlocks another level of Necas. Necas and TT play the same position. TT as the playmaker to goal scores like Trochek and Svech is quite appealing, no?

 

[Lempo]

Oh, a Zibanejad 6 point game.

 

[Roboturner913]

Turbo and Aho are the smartest two forwards we have. Necas and Svech are the two most physically gifted forwards. It makes sense to pair them up in a way that makes each line as diverse as possible, so you have one smart guy on each line and one big/fast guy on each line.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Or you don’t because it unlocks another level of Necas. Necas and TT play the same position. TT as the playmaker to goal scores like Trochek and Svech is quite appealing, no?

Or you switch them around depending on who's hot. Not as if the Nino-Trocheck-Necas has been any less effective, especially since it is that line that frees Staal into become a 3C monster.

 

[MinJaBen]

Or you don’t because it unlocks another level of Necas. Necas and TT play the same position. TT as the playmaker to goal scores like Trochek and Svech is quite appealing, no?

If both come back healthy, I think you put the Tro, Necas and Nino line back together and put Aho and TT and winger back together. Why make Tro learn two new guys when he and Nino and Nitro were already working?
