Half-Assed GDT: Blues @ Blue Jackets 4PM BSMW

[Moose and Squirrel]

someone musta pulled the pin on that grenade the way the boys are handling it in the ozone

Kyrou has been garbage lately. I think he might be nursing a core injury though

 

[Blanick]

The amount of high quality chances the Jackets have had is pretty embarassing.

crainal-rectal inversion syndrome?

Haha sounds about right

He hasn't been utilizing his speed lately. Maybe it is injury related, maybe the game is getting more tight checking late in the year. Time and space that was there in November isn't there anymore. Needs to be better in tight checking game.

ohhh krug just shoot

Oh most definitely. I’ve been watching him avoid some physical play and also when he’s gotten some hits seems to grimace. He might just need to build up more strength though

I get that he is hurt, but man Sunny has been bad

yup... not sure why they're not rotating him more

 

[Robb_K]

Not a good 1st Period for The Blues, letting The BlueJackets skate rings around them. They'd better come out skating hard in the 2nd.

 

[Bluesish]

This game is showing how badly we need a top LD. The Avalanche fans celebrating us NOT getting Lindholm is pretty telling.

Isn't Bozak hurt? Who else should they put in instead?

 

[Blanick]

The Blues didn't play well at the start (again) but man Lindholm going to Boston just took the wind right out more sails.

Avs are beating this team with Lindholm or not.

The Blues aren’t a good team.

 

[Xerloris]

We really need Chychrun or Sanheim. It will be really sad if these #1 LD's all go without us landing one.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

if his skating is this labored, put Brown in. not sure why he's not dressed today anyways. or put him back on IR and bring Joshua back up. by his own admission he's only at ~80%

 

[Bluesish]

The Blues aren’t a good team.

I disagree. The Blues problems come from their style of play: overpassing and not shooting enough. Lindholm with an adjustment to playing style could absolutely beat any team.

Nope. This team looks like ass, they get outplayed constantly by everyone, even weak teams. There’s realistically no one player that’s available that would turn it around. It would take multiple pieces at the very least. The Avs are way better and it isn’t remotely close.

Once again, if this team plays a style that makes them look worse than they are. I also think teams have scouted and know how to shutdown their overpassing play.

Perron drives the net and lets a shot go, and it goes in!!!

Blues tie it at 1!!!! Perron's 6th in 6 games!!!

Ahhh Robb has his emojis back now. All is well!

I agree. It's not like Brown needs a rest. He's just returned to the lineup, looked good, and then, was taken out of the lineup again. I wonder why?

 

[Blanick]

Looks like Florida just got Giroux, per Lebrun. Man they are really going for it this year.

Maybe they are deliberately limiting his games played to cash in on that 4th?

Yes, but, unfortunately, they are much harder to access. They take 3 separate cliks, and waiting for menues to come up in between, so, I just post with text, and need to find and return to the post, later, during a TV commercial, to edit, and add the emojis.
