Bobcat’s Post Game Notes, PS Game 2
Jackets win, 5-1 over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
-This is the game that I expect a better outcome from. This is the NHL roster. Let’s see.
-No sound at all from the livestream feed. Weird.
-Justin Danforth scores on a tip-in, and I completely missed it because I was on the phone with my dad. Whoops!
-Other than that, the 1st period was rather boring. Lots of shots on net, no real big moments besides the Danny goal.
-about 8 minutes of boring back-and-forth hockey later, and THE SMOOTHEST ONE-TIMER IN THE GAME puts us up by two! What a pass from Andrew Peeke to set that one up. That whole play was SCHNASTY.
-Nathan LeGare takes a hooking penalty, and that leads to… Jakub Voracek… scoring a goal? Am I dreaming? Did that just happen?
-On another note, I find it odd that we put Danforth on our power play unit. I understand that it’s the preseason, but at the same time, I saw him as more of a penalty kill guy. Danny, Gus, Gavi and Peeke would make a pretty solid PK1.
-Gustav Nyquist scores on a play I only caught half of because I was distracted by something else. From what I saw, Dustin Tokarski was stuck 3 feet out of the crease spread-eagled on his stomach while every skater was panicking looking for the puck. It’s 4-0 now. Good play, Goose.
-Uh oh. Mathieu Olivier gets sent off for high-sticking. Time to see how our PK does…
-…all in all, not bad. Much better than what I expected.
-It took until near the end of the second period that I realized that they’re not drinking Gatorade on the benches anymore. What is “Bio Steel”?
-Second period was WAY better than the first. Good stuff, boys.
-Josh Dunne wants the smoke from EVERYBODY. He started shoving Jordan Frasca after the whistle, and after Frasca got escorted away he started jawing at Ty Glover. Chill, man!
-The stream didn’t get any sound until early in the third. Now I can hear Bob, but the audio is super crusty. Weird.
-Erik Gudbranson makes a terrible pass that I felt like I could see in slow-motion. Ain’t no way that wasn’t getting picked off. Alexander Nylander gets a breakaway, but Jet Greaves makes a life-saver of a pad stop! Alex, your room is ready in the Heartbreak Hotel-wait, wrong guy.
-Now Jet himself makes a bad pass, the Pens have him dead to rights, and he makes ANOTHER mind-blowing save, this time with his stick. Ithink this performance is confirmation that he’s starting in Cleveland this year no matter what.
-Only took them forever, but the Pens finally score. Jordan Frasca whips it past Jet to make it 4-1.
-Johnny Gaudreau has been almost invisible, which sucks. He has an assist, but the only other thing he’s done that I’ve noticed so far is a penalty he took just now. Hopefully it’s just an off night.
-Boqvist, to Gaudreau, to Danforth, and a slapper blasts right past Tokarski. Let’s go, JD!
-JOSH DUNNE WANTS ALL THE SMOKE. Right off the faceoff, he tangoes(?) with Xavier Ouellet. To be fair, he lost the fight (he fell first) but it does show his grit. He’s the type of guy Torts would adore.
-We just run out the clock and win! What a rollercoaster of a day. I like how they played, but it begs the question of “How would we perform if PIT had their big guns (Sid, Geno, Letang, Guentzel, etc.)?”
