GDT: Blues @ Avs| 9:30pm NBCSN| Sprinting a Marathon

[Got One Cup]

ROR is a great player because of his work ethic, not necessarily because he's an elite thinker. Don't get me wrong, I love ROR and think he is an elite center, but I think Thomas could surpass ROR as long as he doesn't have any awful injuries. Just my opinion though

What? ROR constantly breaks up plays before they develop. He’s always in the right position. Guys a very smart player. Thomas could surpass him and I hope he does but it’s not going to happen anytime soon. Will take time and experience.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

nice period

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Great road period. Take away stupid penalty and we are up 2.

 

[BleedBlue14]

If they keep that intensity up I don’t see any way they lose this game. Great period

 

[sfvega]

When was the last time we had a D as short as Krug? It looks weird going from guys 6'3" and taller to him.

Remember when we had Kris Russell?

 

[Blanick]

Blues puck pursuit has been great so far. Every time McKinnon turns a Blue is there in his face. He has to be getting frustrated.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

SOME GOOD HOCKEY

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Serious question, has Parayko come off the ice yet? Lol

Would you take him off the ice?

 

[Blueline2757]

Great period

 

[BlueMed]

Solid period without Tarasenko and Hoffman.

 

[542365]

Hoffman gonna score assisted by Krug - calling it

I’ll give you 10,000-1 odds that he doesn’t.

 

[joe galiba]

my biggest takeaway from the first period of the season...
Faulk has one heck of a pornstache

 

[BlueDream]

Solid period. Had just a couple mins of sloppiness but overall a good start. All the lines and pairings look to be clicking well. If I had to pick out a guy who looks a little out of place it’s probably Krug but that’s to be a bit expected.

I think Faulk already looks WAY more comfortable. And I can see why, he was probably thinking “why am I here?” at times last year. But this year he’s an important piece.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

The stink of the bubble is coming off

 

[Spektre]

Nice to see Kyrou back checking and cashing in to get confidence early in the season

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I’ll give you 10,000-1 odds that he doesn’t.

lol yea I was late to the party - didn't realize he wasn't in the lineup.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Remember when we had Kris Russell?

Been a few years

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Well that was a fun period

 

[bigduga]

...I mean, lots of season left - but Outshooting the 2021 Stanley cup champions(assumed) 18-5 is not a bad start for a team with no defense left.

 

[Veneficus]

Great period. Boys came to play and that's all you can ask for. Binner looks good too imo.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Solid first period of real hockey.

 

[simon IC]

It is weird. How tall is Dunn? Or Shatty? Other than that I can’t think of anyone close.

Perunovich.

 

[elkranio]

Surprisingly good.

 

[Zamadoo]

My favorite part of all of that domination was at the end when Bortz fended Saad on a 1 on 1 with a flick if his left wrist.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Perunovich.

I meant that have played in the NHL lol
