GDT #37: 2024/12/28 - Ovechkin Returns

[GeneralT001]

Should be an NHL rule that goalies that get scored on cannot have a drink for 5 minutes. Sick of seeing them reward themselves with some water after allowed a terrible goal in.

 

[Preston]

Ok Thompson

 

[zeke]

i get why berube doesn't want the dmen pinching but man it really hurts our offense.

 

[MindzEye]

This fucking one is freezing up now too.

I found one that's good....can't remember which one it is though, so you're on your own.

 

[GeneralT001]

Your a deadbeat Willie!!

Listening to these Washinton guys is fucking brutal. I'm on the hunt again.

 

[zeke]

a win tonight and we're 6th overall.

a loss tonight and we could be as low as 11th overall.

 

[MindzEye]

Cowan better end up good.

 

[zeke]

how no penalty

 

[zeke]

good period tbh.

goalies the reason we don't have the lead.

but then again we chose to play the 3rd stringer in the tough game instead of the easy game so kinda hard to complain much.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Cowan better end up good.

I don't remember anyone crying over losing Sandin. Those were some lonely tears I shed.

And that was before we used the pick.

Is he the third stringer though?

I would much rather ride with Hildeby than this relic.

woulda been tough to complain no matter which 3rd stringer we used.

 

[trujaysfan]

I want to punch Hulu/ESPN+ in its fucking face.

What's with so many Leafs games not being carried, especially the Saturday ones?

Is it still the NHL network Saturday night game? It was when I was in the US 15 years ago.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Yeah, NHL Network carries it, but it's so fucked up.

I used to have Spectrum/TimeWarner, but with it, you only get the channel on your home tv and can't access it anywhere else.

Hulu/ESPN+ don't have NHL Network among its sports package that it offers. Sometimes it carries the CBC games, sometimes it doesn't. Last year it pretty much had almost every one. Here and there it would randomly not have one. This year it's like at least once a week, and usually on Saturday night.

There's no way to just get NHL Network on its own through an app or something. I think Fubo has it, but then you need to get a whole fucking service for one channel.

It's insane in this day and age.

​

bad mistake by the 4th line on goal 1, and the 3rd line got hemmed on goal 2, but really those shots could easily have been stopped.

​

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Yeah, 1st period's score is not reflective of what I saw.

Two shit goals against. Willy with at least two chances to score a couple of easy ones. Definitely had more going on than them.

I really hope they don't plan to use Murray in the playoffs if one of the guys gets hurt.

 

[zeke]

ah domi that shoulda been on a tee.

 

[zeke]

mccabe leading the rush earlier. rielly leading it there.

change in tactics?

 

[zeke]

mo jumping in the rush again.

this isn't what we've been doing all year.
