GDT: Pens at Blues 7:00 FanDuel

[HighStick]

This is a continuation of the no energy play from the last game. They got lucky last time. They better not count on it to happen again.

Single worst period they've had in weeks

Yeah that was ugly and I only saw the last 7 minutes. And how you can have a 3-1 without a single shot... barf! Holloway got cute and tried to do a backhanded cross ice pass if I'm not mistaken.

More importantly, though, if and when this team makes the playoffs (they haven't made sh*t yet!) there has to be a meeting, strategy developed--SOMETHING!--to prevent the oppo from having these grade A scoring chances with less than 3 seconds left in a period.

Either the bench goalie, coach, or someone needs to yell how much time is left so guys can do what Detroit did at the end of the period the other night: just eat the puck along the boards so there's no chance of an extra shot.

Yep.
Monty might need to change things up here in the 2nd if they don't come out better.

I think teams are game planning kyrou and Holloway especially because they look off the last few games

Ok, but that doesn’t excuse Thomas, Buch, Neighbours. The whole team looks off. Got away with it against Det but playing with fire. Montreal was the best they looked all year and have been doggie doo ever since

[blackinkbiz]

Just saw the replay of their goal, unbelievable, yet beyond believeable...

The only defensemen on this team with a minus rating just watches Rust skate by and then throws a lazy hook on him instead of doing his F'n job.

Only Faulk has a -4 rating while every other regular Dman is well into + territory. Tucker is really growing on me btw. He's much more skilled than I initially thought.

[smilinjoefission]

They called out Kevin Hayes?

Yeah his reaction pretty much said all that needed to be said about him.

[Dangler1]

I mean, the chance to tie a franchise record should be enough to "get up" for this game, no? Let's flip the switch.

I'm trying to think what I would even do.

Swap Neighbours with Bolduc?

Fowler said what needs to be done in his interview.

[hotrivets]

WTF line always figures out how to break through the log jam at the blueline and get a forecheck going because they play simple and hard instead of over passing.

I missed what Fowler said.

Maybe move Bolduc like you said, or even Holloway up with Thomas, with or without Kyrou.

[Russdv14]

I would put Bolduc back up there with Thomas.

[Dangler1]

Dang...Hollywood out.

[HighStick]

Oh boy now Holloways out. F!

[sdaltons]

Holloway hurt? Bad period gets worse.

If Holloway is good after that hit, that might not be a bad idea. Fowler basically just said it was a bad period that they need to put behind them and they need to bring a better effort.

Ah (bleep), just heard Holloway is out the rest of the game...

[somni]

Well, great. Holloway is out.
