GDT: 2021 First Round Game 3: Blues Trail 2-0 | The Picks Are In

[Eldon Reid]

yeah wow his stick was in the glove there

I think only reason it was in his glove, it was from his shooting motion. It wasn't intentional from what I seen.

tarasenko looks like valeri bure out there, wtf happened to him

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

oh come on

 

[Reagans Blues]

Ryan Graves has a very punchable face. That is all.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Thomas is a huge disappointment to me.

He may be more hurt than we realize...or lazy

he is a shell of his former self .. if he is hurt he needs to sit he is bringing nothing

 

[oPlaiD]

We can't even make a pass without our sticks just breaking in half.

We've managed to play a better game than them tonight with all our guys missing and the hockey gods still can't give us a bounce.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

We are terrible at transition...just awful

 

[Robb_K]

Super play by Parayko defending on a 2-on-3 with NO STICK!!! And knocking the puck away with his hand, so a teammate could recover it!

90% of that team has a punchable face

Definitely the best game we’ve played so far.

But 3 bad goals are the difference.

We aren't winning this series without our own game breaker. That has always been Tarasenko's role. He was 2nd in playoff goals/game in the league from 2014-2019, only behind Ovechkin. We need him back or develop Kyrou into a bigger role.

+1

Exactly. Objectively the Blues have played a very strong game. Some bad puck luck and timely plays by Avs has been the difference.

I can't stand JR. Obviously the players are out there busting their ass and trying given the circumstances, and JR has the audacity to call them out while he's sitting at home on his lazy ass.

Absolutely. There were times where we almost expected him to score, or at the very least generate the opportunity to do so. It sucks not seeing him play that way anymore but I understand why. Nothing but love for him always, hopefully he can regain it next year

I can't stand some of the stuff he posted. Just like the post on about Barbashev in game 2. Saying how he shouldn't have taken the penalty. Well JR had the proper call been made, that penalty would have never have happened.

 

[Ranksu]

Sup?

How are we as Stanley Cup Contender Team playing?

 

[JoshFromMO]

Can this game just count for 2 wins

 

[Robb_K]

The Blues are playing hard, playing fairly well. But, with this depleted lineup, they really have little chance.

When speaking to Blackhawk fans, they were afraid he was going to score every time he touched the puck. Luckily, Tarasenko is still only 29 and looking over at Boston, their guys are still going at 35.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

we are missing so many key players ... may the injury bug bite somebody else

 

[Spirits]

Yup, 100%.
