Thursday Recap

Hello Everyone, It’s your boy DogeLisp back to your daily recap. On the 2nd night of SPNHL the 3 remaining undefeated teams officially took at least 1 loss. Leaving no teams to be undefeated anymore, but we still have two winless teams in Anaheim and New York Islanders! Anywho let’s get right into the recap of each team, and their weaknesses of last night, and positives. 

  1. Nashville Predators: 2-1-0, Producing 16 goals for and 11 goals against, this team had another solid night offensively. With Agedquod leading the way for his team producing good numbers and having a 6 goal game against Pittsburgh and 6 points against the Blues, we’ve seen so far a glimpse of good things to come. Also with the additions of xShepxrd and Heroic_veil last night playing their part after being acquired last night. I expect to see similar results tomorrow night.

GVA: 124

TKA/INT: 113

Positives: 

Producing on the offensive side of the ice, Goaltending solid

Negatives:

Defensive Side, Allowing too many shots per game, Giveaways

  1. St Louis Blues: 2-1-0, Producing 14 goals for and 13 goals against, This team produced well when needed, the team played well on the forecheck for most games getting good looks, just struggled to finish quite a bit of open looks. Lappy led the team with 10 points while Garnzy tallied 7 points in 3 games at the defensive side. Still a well oiled team even though the first two games were rough only having 6 shots in game 1. We’ll see if they can continue their good run tomorrow against some good teams.

            GVA: 67

TKA/INT: 103

Positives: 

Team only allowed an average of 22 Giveaways per game, great forechecking, Team                   spirit.

Negatives: 

Shaky Defensively, LispDoge

  1. Arizona Coyotes: 3-0-0, Producing 15 Goals for and 8 goals against, this team had a solid night with Shock_R only allowing 8 Goals against on 51 Shots, and beating Philadelphia in the process.  Chico producing 10 points in tonight’s games helped their team substantially as well. Good outing as a whole team! 

GVA: 122

TKA/INT: 118

Positives:

Good use of the body in hits, Goaltending, Offense

Negatives:

Giveaways

  1. Ottawa Senators: 3-0-0, Producing 20 Goals for and a total of 6 goals against they had a high 14 goal diff. Jonturner heated up last night with 12 points in 3 games leading his team to a solid 3 wins. On top of that Iceyasylum, and gunner both played fantastic in front of the team to keep the low scoring game close. Looking forward to seeing this team after tomorrow!

GVA: 130

TKA/INT: 122

Positives: 

Offense, Goalies playing great, TURNER!, Use of forecheck

Weakness:

Too many Giveaways

  1. Philadelphia Flyers:  1-2-0, Producing only 6 Goals for, allowing 8 against, this team had a rough night on the offensive side of things. They’ll need to score more than 2 goals a game if they want to win more games. Once again this team is very great defensively, allowing only 22 shots in the 3 games played against. Just an unfortunate night of shots not going in. (The Blues understand)

GVA: 120

TKA/INT: 121

Positives:

Shooting the puck, Defense, Goaltending

Weakness:

Scoring(Legit unlucky)

  1. New Jersey Devils: 2-1-0, Producing 11 Goals for, and allowing 17 goals against. It was a rough game for them against the Senators. As they had no answer against them, they bounced back right after defeating the sharks 4-2. Alonzi Allowed 17 Goals against 48 shots. Other than that the team still performed to expectations playing well. Tomorrow they’ll hopefully look to do the same.

GVA: 107

TKA/INT: 137

Positives:

Solid Faceoffs, good forechecking, Low turnovers

Weakness:

Goaltending

  1. Pittsburgh Penguins:  1-2-0, Producing 8 Goals for, allowing 11 goals against, Pittsburgh played as I expected considering the competition they faced. Beanzy faced 58 shots against him in those 3 games. Which is nearly 20 shots allowed. They definitely need to work on stopping teams from entering their zone to take as many shots for the future. We’ll see how they fare tomorrow against the bottom teams in the standings tomorrow night.

GVA: 126

TKA/INT: 114

Positives:

Faceoffs

Weakness:

Allowing too many shots, Defense, need to use the body more

  1. Florida Panthers: 2-1-0, Producing 13 goals for, and allowing only 7 against. This team turned it around from Tuesday. We got to see a couple of key pivotal players for them today with Fluri37, Clampse, and Genzy playing well tonight. As well as x2 Conn Smythe winner Choo Stopping 43 out of 51 shots last night. I can’t wait to see how they fair tomorrow against their opponents. 

GVA: 103

TKA/INT: 86

Positives: 

Goaltending, Offense

Weakness:

Need to forecheck more, Use the body, Faceoffs. 

  1. Colorado Avalanche: 1-1-1, Producing 7 Goals for, and 10 against their seeming to do okay for the most part, it’s just their missing 1 piece of their offense to win those pivotal games. ThaFoSix Played as solid as he can for the team along with mastermoose. Stopping 46 of 56 shots in the 3 games. With Karlsson in the lineup tomorrow hopefully that can help you guys try to go positive on the night. Good solid outing though boys.

GVA:  105

TKA/INT: 121

Positives:

Great awareness to get the puck on turnovers, Faceoffs, Solid Goaltending

Weakness:

Stop allowing over 18 shots a game, Offense 

  1. San Jose Sharks: 1-2-0, Producing 8 goals for, and 8 goals against. This team is still very neutral in their first 6 games. Not terrible, but also not great. Team has great players around it’s just about finding the chemistry. Sharks only allowed 28 shots against you last night, which got you 2nd least amount of shots in the night. You guys kept in the games you lost to the Avalanche, and Devils. Just needed to shoot more. Defensively this team plays great, just a little tuning in the forward side, and I see you guys being deadly. 

GVA: 121

TKA/INT: 120

Positives:

Defense, Forechecking, Keeping teams from shooting

Weakness:

Faceoffs, Goaltending, Offense

  1. Anaheim Ducks: 0-3-0, Producing the league low of 4 goals for this night and allowing 11 goals against. No offense to be seen. Allowing 49 shots against them they need to work on a little bit of the defensive side as well. C’mon Mr Egg you got this.

GVA: 124

TKA: 104

Positives:

Faceoffs, Team Spirit

Weakness:

Giveaways, Offense, Need to use more of the body for hits. 

  1. New York Islanders: 0-2-1, Producing 10 Goals for, and 14 goals against the team is finally starting to get on the right track. Just needs to focus on the defense a little more in the Offensive zone. Too many breakouts are given up by this team, and only so much defense can do when 3 guys are open at times. On top of goaltending being a little shaky right now, hopefully they can find a true #1 goalie so this team can start taking some Wins. 

GVA: 126

TKA/INT: 119

Positives:

Doranz

Weakness:

Goaltending, Team Spirit, Faceoffs, Giveaways, Penalties 

Thank you all for taking the time to read the Recap of the night.
