GDT #56: Pens @ Canucks

[King Colby]

Oof. Bad shift for 28. Turned it over on the breakout then didn't pick anybody up in front

[RonnieFranchise]

Nils Hoglander was the best player in the world for about 30 seconds right there.

[mikey]

Nils Hoglander has been the best player in the world for the last three years...

[Trip McNeely]

I’m watching this team with their current lineup and I don’t see how there’s a chance in hell that anyone scores other than maybe Sid

[RonnieFranchise]

Teams whose announcers woo after announcing a goal should start every game in a 1-0 hole as a penalty.

[crusherstasiak]

hoglander for 59 would be fine with me

[stonewizard51]

What are the odds of that happening ?

[Rx6687]

Graves with two turnovers on one sequence there.

[King Colby]

We're getting worked

[mikey]

Graves with two turnovers on one sequence there.

Yeah, but he tried for three...Ruhwedel picked the guy who was gonna take the other one...

Graves vs Vancouver is a bad deal for us.

[crusherstasiak]

Graves with two turnovers on one sequence there.

finally he's improving

[skullman80]

Vancouver is good. We are not.

[Trip McNeely]

There’s alot of guys that we can target as problems for the year but I’ve decided Reilly Smith is my number 1.

His **** body language out there is just soooo bad. The rumors that he never wanted to be traded here is one thing, but to mope around like he has for an entire season is something. At this point I would give him up for basically nothing just to get him out of Pittsburgh

[meecrofilm]

We're an average team missing two of our best wingers. It prob ain't gonna get any prettier on this stretch.

[crusherstasiak]

annd that's 11 goals in 11 career games v. pens

[stonewizard51]

Got em where we want em. We're down 2.

[The U]

Which is fine. Would be less than ideal if we gave Dubas some false hope for a few games heading into the deadline. Nothing this team does over the next week erases what we have seen from them since October. This team should be in full sell mode.

[King Colby]

I think that was supposed to be on eller

[scb147]

Wow, that's a soff call

[Orlando Penguin]

annd that's 11 goals in 11 career games v. pens

Easiest +195 I’ll ever get

[mikey]

Should have been Eller.

[Orlando Penguin]

He had a play with about 6-7 mins left where there was nobody between him and the net on the backhand and he didn’t even look that way. He just flipped the puck back to the point. I liked this pickup when it happened but since October ended, he’s been trash.

[Orlando Penguin]

Maybe it's the booze but Haley Hunter has gotten more attractive throughout the season.

No beer goggles necessary with that one.

[mikey]

All right, obviously their forecheck is better than anything we have right now. So we're gonna need to do something. It's gonna require a touch play. So there's some risk involved there. You might have to go to the low side wall quick and then one touch it to the middle.

If I'm the video coach, I'm tracking the Vancouver centers. You don't get a break on this team...EP40, then Miller, then Lindholm. So I track to see if their centers have a consistent pattern and try to make sure I don't go near them. I'll my luck with their kind of iffy wingers...

[Morkle]

My body is ready to see this team make changes.
