GDT #11: Pens vs Wild

Post by **JC2** » Tue Oct 29, 2024 8:40 pm

This team is just lost in their own defensive zone

Post by **scb147** » Tue Oct 29, 2024 8:41 pm

9 games out of 11 of letting up at least 4 goals.

Edit: 8 games, since the Calgary one was a SO

We had our best five minutes of the season through that PK...

Roster composition aside, coaches don't survive how bad this team looks, this long.

Probably not. Too bad

This league isn't watered down enough yet for games like those vs NYR, CAR, and EDM. Those are great teams, but this team just didn't show up.

I love that minny 5 on 3 setup

Post by **mikey** » Tue Oct 29, 2024 9:25 pm

Nice kill.

Between Getzoff not knowing math and Bourque not knowing English, it's quite a duo we have here...

Post by **mikey** » Tue Oct 29, 2024 9:30 pm

Three pretty good trips this game that haven't been called. Last one wasn't as blatant at live, but there was two others that appeared to be quite obvious...

Edit: yes that's a trip.

Fleury doing Fleury things.

That save on Eller was the Lidstrom save.

Post by **JC2** » Tue Oct 29, 2024 9:38 pm

Personally, I wouldn't pull the goalie until this team gained the zone. They are just so bad at it.

Post by **mikey** » Tue Oct 29, 2024 9:40 pm

There is a major disagreement about who that goalie stick was intended for between those two ladies haha

Sid looked a lot better when not having 2 empty sweaters on his line...

Nice thanks. Do you have a stathead sub?

This is the query for longest streaks to start a season giving up 3+ goals a game. I can’t see the top 10 but thankfully I can see we’re now tied for 18th (it’ll be 11 games after tonight’s is added). Looks like all the other ones I can see are from 30+ years ago so I would be surprised if any of the top 10 are from the last 30 years.

Thus, we’re seeing some nice incompetence by our defense
