GDT: Game 2: Rearranging Deck Chairs on the Failboat

[snakepliskin]

guys are doing a lot better job blocking shocks--impressive

[dmonk]

so Whitney is possibly injured.

That's is going to hurt badly.

Zach Boychuk anyone?


EDIT: Never mind, Whitney is back

He is back, i hope it's just equipment issue.

Yeah Pitkanen has been awful. Of course as I say this I expect him to score the game winner.

[Blueline Bomber]

Alright, a PP. Let's see what we can do.

[visor wearing goon]

Time to move Larose back down to the 3rd line where he belongs, and move Eaves up. He's been one of our best players all night.

[dogbazinho]

I hope Babchuk sees the majority of this PP

can't say i disagree. Eaves elevated his game.

[visor wearing goon]

Our PP is awful, but what do you expect when Kaberle is on the first unit.

[dmonk]

laughing stock of PP.

Dumping puck in, and then chasing it back

[dmonk]

Also, Pitkanen changed his behavior. He always, I mean always used to pass the puck to Babchuk to shoot.

All game long tonight he is trying to shoot himself and never passes.

Might be because Maurice knew that the Devils would be keeping the pressure on Babchuk and told Pitkanen not to force the pass.

You'd think he could at least try to see what Devils would do.

I think based on this and the penalties he's taken, it is personal for Joni now and he forgot the hockey is a team sport.

[Citizen Cane]

This game will turn on whichever team has a breakdown first in their zone that creates a screened chance or an open net. Not many chances to be had - we're still playing the way NJ wants to.

[visor wearing goon]

Okay Eaves didn't look so great there.

[dmonk]

Devils two skaters down, trolls will be here anytime now.

[dogbazinho]

I wish we tried to dump the puck more off the back wall here instead of wrapping it around. We might get those bounces a bit more.

[visor wearing goon]

Wallin and Kaberle on the ice in the last minute of the game?

I was just thinking exactly the same.

[Blueline Bomber]

Ugh, terrible time to ice it, Kabs.

[Citizen Cane]

Great time to ice the puck!

There could have been a call or two against us the last few, probably not called because so many earlier went against us.

[Citizen Cane]

OT in Jersey. Thats not been bad in the past, but then again, this isn't the past.

[dmonk]

We can safely assume Wallin will be on ice the entire OT.

Who else is going to score on Marty.

You stole my joke.

How hilarious would it be to see him win it again though?
