GDT #44: 2025/1/11 - no excuses

[CH1]

Yeah, two cranky old men screaming into the void is a barely touched format in the podcast industry.

Always room for one more!

 

[GeneralT001]

Then the NHL is not for you.

Bitter reality there. Give me the Davey Keon days again.

Also doubling down on my hildeby call. Every shots an adventure.

 

[MindzEye]

So uhhh....wanna start a podcast?

 

[thehabhater]

So uhhh....wanna start a podcast?

I would do it.

Overall, last night though, he did fairly well considering the lack of support he is given from the rest of the team. Like you, I really don't care for the way he moves in net...but that should improve with time?

He gave up 3 goals on… 18 shots. And every goal was stoppable.

eh, 1 & 3 definitely but the 2nd goal hit a player in front and bounced over him.

Well, the 1st one was a pretty good deflection as well, yes?

 

[Artnes]

instead of Dry January, may I recommend Leaf-Free February?

It’s a short month, and you can see how you feel in March with the season’s final regular season push

I've watched 5 full games all season (last night included) and it's been fucking wonderful

It's become my 2nd screen this year while I'm doing something else. The product has been boring for the most part and the only thing I really cared about seeing in the regular season was Matthews doing historic shit and maybe Robbie getting a real shot on an offensive line. Neither seem to be happening...and the team plays a boring style that is allegedly playoff hockey, so yeah, I guess I'll wait to give a shit in the playoffs.

 

[GeneralT001]

If thats what their playoff hockey is going to look like then get ready for another 1st round exit....assuming they even get to the playoffs at this rate...its not a sure thing by any stretch.

 

[MindzEye]

assuming they even get to the playoffs at this rate

You know this is an incredibly mental take given where they are in the standings right now, eh?

 

[Slinger 48]

They'll make the playoffs, no doubt in my mind about that.

But if the apparent "I don't really give a fuck" kind of play we saw last night occurs in the playoffs it'll be one and done yet again.

 

[GeneralT001]

You know this is an incredibly mental take given where they are in the standings right now, eh?

Unfortunately they are where they are at the moment due to good luck rather than skill or ability. There needs to be a serious change in their play or misfortune is a comin!

Wehave can dream though

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Wehave can dream though

I have little doubt that they'll make the playoffs. But their stay will be short and brutal like it always inevitably is.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Unfortunately they are where they are at the moment due to good luck rather than skill or ability. There needs to be a serious change in their play or misfortune is a comin!

This is seriously batshit.

They had an ugly loss and their star player who often says the wrong thing, said a wrong thing.

That said every word you and WeHave have said in this thread is monumentally dumber than what Marner said.

 

[mbow30]

I think it hit him.
