Chickenspear Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 1 minute ago, knucklehead91 said: And look where the oilers stick is. Its taking away ANY backhand play. First off like i said a few times now. Look at where Gudbranson took the puck, it was in tight on his backhand side. If he keeps skating like you want him to, he is going to overskate the puck and its goint to be in even tighter to his feet and even more awkward to deal with on his backhand. If it was his forehand, SURE he could possibly skate onto it and push it forward and skate with it. It is not so easy to skate onto a puck in tight on your back hand This is the last time I'll address this, because this is the GDT, not the Guddy thread. The forward would have been deeper in the zone and stick out of reach of the puck if Guddy moved to the middle. We see this kind of play all the time. The problem with the image you're using, is that he's already being checked. It's not showing that 1 second earlier he could have taken that stride to the middle and opening up another option. Good talk though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Glad I can actually watch this one. Looks like our roster might have more experience on it, though of course we still don't have Petey or Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s interesting, it actually shows up later, but it often doesn’t appear right away. It’s too bad, because I’m always interested to see the videos you’re putting up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched to Safari as well, but for years prior I didn't have any issues with Chrome. I have a feeling it was some sort of Chrome update that screwed it up. At the same time, Chrome on my Windows computer works fine and displays all the embedded content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good talk though. The problem is the forwards leaving their dman in a pickle. Its plain and simple. Once again… on his backhand, in tight… any more strides towards the middle and hes overstepping the puck on his backhand which is the most difficult to play the puck in tight. Its why its best to have rights on the right side and lefties on the left. Your stronger along the boards in puck battles, its easier to control the puck coming off the boards from your forehand and you can send the puck over to the other dman. You cant make that play on your backhand side, you need to move it to the forehand, which is exactly what Gudbranson tried to do. the coach is going to rip the forwards a part for letting a guy take a straight line to a dman who is the last line of defence. If he doesnt have enough time and loses the puck its a free skate into the other end, which is exactly what happened. End of story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which it did… leaving the entire middle of the ice wide open. Sure Gudbranson could have exited the zone and started a regroup, but he still needed to get control of the puck. He had to pull it in a bit to actually put a bit of mustard on the pass to send it to the other dman. Either way, guddy was put in an awkward spot, the forwards failed to buy him a fraction of a second to maybe get that puck pulled over to the forehand or to dish it outside the zone and to his partner who was in no mans land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mistake was made as soon as he decided to put on the brakes and make a move to his right. I'm not saying that was necessarily obvious at real time but if you watch the video again, that was definitely his best option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll just have to agree to disagree I guess. Agree to disagree. I say a rookie forward could have tied up his guy off the draw for a split second which would have bought Gudbranson enough time to make the play he was trying, moving the puck from the weakside to his strong side to make a play.
