GDT: Blues @ Avalanche|Round 1, Game 2| Blues down 1-0|

[ezcreepin]

Blues really just got the short end of the stick with Walman and Perron being out. Then we had the whole positive test controversy and it doesn't look like they are really putting any pressure on the Avs.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

We are very ineffective in their zone

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

thats a bad change by bozak

 

[TheDizee]

[AjaxManifesto]

[Davimir Tarablad]

[AjaxManifesto]

thats a bad change by bozak

We both saw it...good...I thought I was being harsh...but it stood out

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

loves me some schwartz, but he has GOT to pick it up... MacMac would be more effective in the lineup that some of these guys... goes to show ya how much we miss Sunny

 

[mk80]

We are very ineffective in their zone

Just say we are ineffective in their arena

all 3 zones have been pretty bad so far

+1

 

[Oberyn]

This is looking like a quick sweep lol, can the Blues even make a single pass.

 

[Eldon Reid]

We aren't playing bad, but we aren't playing great.

I hate people looking at shots 16-4 or whatever they are at this point and they think the Avalanche are dominating. Avalanche have put on roughly 10 of those shots have been rather routine saves.

 

[BlueMed]

The Blues need to stop trying to play Colorado's game. Enough stretch passes and more dump and chase.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

I don’t think they’ve played that bad honestly. Had some good chances.

People, including people who are paid to write about hockey, need to stop obsessing over shot totals. 10 have been right at Binningtons chest from terrible angles.

they’re the best team in the league and I admire it, but if it’s not the top line in transition their o zone philosophy is “throw it right at the goalie and see what happens. Eventually one will go”.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

remember when people were kvetching about the contract Binnington signed?

pepperidge farms remembers

You’re dating yourself.

 

[Stealth JD]

16-4 the shots? Blues don’t deserve to be one the same ice as the Avs, let alone only down by one.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Even our deflections go straight to the goalies crest

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

we need to get out this period only down by 1

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

We are very ineffective in their zone

thats assuming we're actually IN their zone...

I don't mind the game so much as the Av's aren't KILLING us... but we have ZERO Ozone presence... much less pressure.. that has got to change... somehow

At some point you have to stop worrying about the Avs strengths and start playing to your strengths

 

[TheDizee]

this is what schwartz does. outside of a nice first 3 rounds in 2019, guys a worthless has been.

[ChicagoBlues]

pretty bad effort tonight for sure

HaHaHa!

At first I read “perron bad effort....”

Yeah man! Perron’s been a ghost all game.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Not converting on golden opportunities

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

You’re dating yourself.

not like anyone else is going to...sigh
