Half-Assed GDT: Blues @ Canucks 9PM CST on BSMW

[542365]

It's a win against a team we should beat. Certainly not the Blues' best game, but a big 2 points. Tough second night tomorrow(especially when our fourth line only played like 7 minutes tonight), so it was critical to get these two points.

 

[BlueMed]

Also, big shoutout to Justin Faulk. He's probably our most underrated and unsung defenseman each night. He is Doughty-lite.

 

[Robb_K]

Blues win!!! Blues win!!! And they didn't expend an inordinate amount of energy. So they'll be able to compete on an even level tomorrow night.

Ville Husso stares into the souls of the Canucks, and all they can do is cry.

great job by husso, he got us 2 points with a great performance while the team coasted for most the game.

now lets hope binner doesnt shit the bed tomorrow. if he does, its time for chucky sideburns to return

he does that to a lot of teams

Look it up lol. Then get out.

How many of those 10 start on a fully healthy team. Having taxi squad guys out isn't the same.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

solid 2 points ... next

husso is coming for your job binny

Binner has already lost the starting job. Now he is fighting to stay in the NHL.

If he decides to suck tomorrow........Chucky Sideburns will rise again.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Bozo, brown, Kostin combined for 4 pims and 0 shots. Need more from 4th line. Don’t need to score but need to set tone and not hurt us. They hurt us tonight.

 

[Spektre]

Ugly win against an AHL team but it’s 2 points

Not true.

i think bozo will be a chip in the future

The panthers and hurricanes for that matter are pseudo-contenders.

Perhaps. Panthers have been really good. East is funny. Top 8 pretty much locked into playoffs already, but aside from lightning it’s hard to believe in any of them.

Like reincarnated as a potato?

 

[TheDizee]

Not true.

If he lets up 4+ goals he is 100% not sniffing the ice again for a long time. so whats the point of keeping him on the bench when he could go down to the AHL to work on things then

Panthers look like the Hitchcock-era Blues. They haven't won a single playoff series as a core group, and it's unrealistic to expect a team to just go all the way without ever having learned how to win in the playoffs. Carolina has won a few series, but their core group is still learning how to win. They have a good amount of talent, but their best players are a bit young to win it all this early. I know people said that about Chicago back in 2010, but they had Hossa, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook, etc to support young Toews and Kane.

Good game guys. Never had seen Husso play before but wow is he amazing. You guys got a keeper in him. What's going on with Binnington? Based on stats, looks like he has been less than average this season. Is Husso stealing his job?

 

[542365]

Something is way off with Pettersson, by the way. He played 20 completely invisible minutes(got a secondary assist on their goal without really doing a whole lot to contribute to it). He was dangerous every shift in years past. He has to be injured or something. Doesn't look remotely the same.

NYR are the best in the east in my opinion. everyone looks at CAR or FLA but NYR are sneaky good this year.

Colorado is the best reg season team in the west right now but it really does not mean much. great special teams and goaltending is what wins in the playoffs which is why colorado wont sniff the second round unless they play some shitty team from the pacific.

i still say if you cant win the central, the next best slot is to win the wildcard that leads to the pacific playoff bracket which will likely be the 1st WC. the path to the west finals by going through Vegas and CGY/SJ/LA/ANA is much easier than going through MIN/COL/NSH.

mfers have taken notice


edit: go look at the play where faulk got back and blew him up... the kid had his head down trying to get to the bench

He started off well in October slowed slightly in early November, hit a rut, got covid. And since returning from covid he has played only six games Splitting them 3-3.
