GDT #47: Jan 14, 7:00, TOR vs NJ - Must Win

Even if Freddie eventually gets his shit together, it should be obvious at this point that he's never going to overcome this tendency to have these extreme peaks and valleys in the season. And when one of those valleys comes in the playoffs, you're fucked.

We either need a replacement, or at the very least a plausible alternative to turn to when Freddie's a sieve.
I think they'll need to move him out, given how close he is with the young guns and that he'd probably pull a giant fit if they brought in a 1A.
 
It's fucking amazing. We were air tight almost all night. Two legit defensive breakdowns were both challenged partial breaks that one definitely should have been stopped.

2.19 expected goals tonight. That's just a really good defensive effort overall. These twats really don't know what the **** they're talking about.

Literally just replying to someone who said we left Freddy out to dry tonight and he'd need to be super human behind this team.

Like what? How about just not sub .900? Is that too much to ask for?

Literally too stupid to understand the game that they obsess over. These people are watching the same games we are, and fucking fume every single time the other team gets a good shot against our net, like that isn't a completely normal event in every hockey game ever, that even the absolute best defensive teams (which tend to play boring as fuck styles simply to limit those shots) give up 10 of a game.

These people all need a time machine and a passport, so they can go back and watch the 00's Devils. That's the only type of hockey they seem happy watching, and the only type of hockey they think wins.
 
It actually seems like it's getting worse each year, if that's possible.

Yeah, because we keep filling our local media with marginal ex players who puke this shit out.

To a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. These guys, whether they were designed to be a hammer or not, were forced to be hammers if they wanted to keep their NHL jobs by coaches who believed in the all purpose nature of the hammer as the only tool you can ever need in any situation. It's basically hockey's version of a cult. The cult of Gud Pro.
 
Seeing Sandin do what he did tonight really just enforces my desire to see Lilly given a shot in the next few games.

Sandin might be better than Dermott already, and I'd be surprised if Lilly wasn't already better than Ceci. If we want to ice our best team possible in the playoffs, we owe it to ourselves to give Lilly a legit run of games to see what he is right now.
 
Freddy is down to .910 on the season. He's behind Linus Ullmark, Rittich, and Korpisalo. Only .03% ahead of flaming train wreck Carey Price and the corpse of King Henrik.

Dubas has to pull a Masai and find someone who'll take Ceci...with Hutchinson and johnnson and turn it into a defenseman and a solid back up.
Ceci is almost our Bargnani.

Would anyone here be adverse to reacquiring Hainsey with Craig Anderson for the year?
 
Ferraro suggested we take on Green and Bernier on the radio today.
He said some stupid shit today. Basically implying sandin is some AHL scrub and the Leafs are in real trouble. He's arguably the best d prospect outside of the NHL. Can't stand people's fear of playing your organization's best talent because they were born in a particular year.
 
Then Craig Button said no one will take Kapanen and Johnsson in a trade because Kapanen is just a third line winger and Johnsson "only has a year left on his contract" (False.)

It was a real impressive run on Toronto Sports radio today.

Ah he must be still hanging on to his "kapanen will never be a regular nhler" take just months before he became a regular nhler.
