He'll get buried on the depth chart in the AHL and won't get a sniff at the NHL. He is nowhere near ready for the next level. Expand I wouldn't be surprised if he is a three- or four-year player. 3 Quote
Fader Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 Not sure if someone has mentioned this yet. Tim & Darren were commenting during the 1st intermission that ice conditions were not very good. Said something like "it will be less bad to start the 2nd". That aside, there were a lot of sloppy passes and dumb turnovers. Quote

Sometimes a win isn’t win. Expand And sometimes a near loss can show that players are developing higher expectations for themselves and their teammates. 2 Quote

He'll get buried on the depth chart in the AHL and won't get a sniff at the NHL. He is nowhere near ready for the next level. Expand Considering the Carolina Hurricanes do not currently have an AHL affiliate and their prospects are scattered among several AHL teams, it would make more sense for Blake to stick around until his readiness to make an NHL roster is more obvious. 1 Quote

No need to over celebrate winning a game in overtime, that should have been closed out halfway through the third...expect a big push, and a big night tonight...just what my gut says Expand What was the quote?

That aside, there were a lot of sloppy passes and dumb turnovers. Expand I was wondering about that, because there were some bad bounces and guys leaving the puck as if it was sticking to the ice. It also looked like the puck was bouncing. I know it's warmer in Ohio, than here. A couple of guys bit it and there was no one around them. Quote

It was lt wasn’t bad bounces. Expand There were definitely a couple bad bounces, but I don't disagree we didn't play our best defensive game. Quote

His defense left him out to dry every time. Now, Berry is the ultimate players coach. Why the interviews after the game, if he’s just gonna sugar coat everything? It just looks bad. Really no excuse for the turnovers and poor back checking. This is against a bad team, that was without their top players. Blake running to the locker room after winning the game, tells the tale. Expand Again, what did he sugar coat? Solid scoring chances? Like on the horrendous bounce that lead to a wide open breakaway on the SHG? Whatever. Long story short, d corps didn't play their best and Luddy didn't bail them out. Got the win. Let's stop going in circles lol. Quote

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 Adversity struck, and they answered. Then the star player skated over to the goalie to (presumably) comfort him after what had to be an emotionally charged evening. Surprised Blake's gesture has yet to be mentioned here. 3 Quote

Expand It appears to be the book on UND: through tight marking and physical play with pressure by taking away time and space thus affecting decisions, errant pases, and creating frustration. We saw last night UND frustration especially when confronted. UND can clean their clock physically but it distracts from movement down ice. Quote

Expand No. If the marking is to tight and the tight marking team gets beat, it can lead to a fast transition by the team being marked up and the marking team will have players out of position. A tight marking team can also run the risk of getting calls for interference, roughing, etc. Quote
dakotaKid92 Posted February 8, 2024 Posted February 8, 2024 Anyone have a link to video of the glass break? Was mentioned in Schloss's podcast, but I'm not finding it Quote
