Half-Assed GDT: Blues @ Florida

[Nederlander]

We were up with 2 mins left of regulation and lost the game.

We were massively outplayed. Yeah, it would have been nice to steal two points, but they were all over us. I'll take the point.

 

[EL Bandito]

This is the best I've seen from Brown in the NHL. He's figuring it out. I thought he was good enough to make the club to start the year over Clifford but looks like those 20 games down in the AHL are paying off and he's playing a much more complete game. Those are top 6 hands with vision.

Back at full strength I'd look for him to spell Bozak and get games over Neal and possibly even Kostin as well.

He needs to keep playing until he gives Berube a reason not to.

 

[Xerloris]

No, it's just stupid. He had a good chance to pick up the stick at one point and decided to keep crawling around instead.

Broken stick and you're an absolute clown. Go post at the asylum.

Are you 12 years old?

Husso does suck in the SO, he always has. I don't care what happens win or lose when it comes to the SO because the SO is not real hockey.

I'm sure it was a typo but what do you mean spell Bozak?

easy enuff right now.. we don't even have 4 full lines lol

 

[EL Bandito]

Agreed. They must've really known they could sneak him through waivers because that was awful ballsy. I thought for sure someone would snatch him.

I believe he means him and Bozak share a spot/take turns..etc..

Just a saying meaning give him a rest every so often

yeah.. how does AZ NOT grab him??

When players start coming back Walman needs to go down before Brown. And if Brown keeps playing well, I'd even say Kostin should go down before Brown.

kostin would only go down cause he wouldn't require waivers, but he was playing pretty well before getting hurt

waive Neal and call it a day

I'm fine with Waiving Neal. Or trading him for FC.

No, I'd say both Brown and Kostin have outplayed Neal at the very least and while Bozak is a valuable piece for them, he's starting to show his age.

If Brown keeps making the smart play with the puck and Klim keeps making questionable plays then I could see Logan staying the lineup over him as well. But no to sending Kostin down, imo.

Only brought up Kostin because he doesn't have to go through waivers.

Oh I get it but it'd be a hard sell telling him he needs to go down when he's playing better than 2-3 other guys.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

so 3pts in 3 games vs FLA/TB

who was expecting more?

Sound like Husso “stood on his head” & “stole a point”.

 

[stl76]

Can't believe you are praising Bort for that. He was awful crawling around. Lucky they didn't score.

Imagine posting things this dumb on a public forum without a hint of sarcasm

Unreal shift by Bortuzzo...incredible stuff. Reaching out bare palm multiple times to try to block a shot, freaking warrior.

Brown will never be an overly physical guy, but I have never understood the reports of him being allergic to contact. Overly exaggerated groupthink that took on a life of it's own.

and doubling down on it lol

and I would agree with you on Brown. to be fair tho, on the Sens board it was said he had his bell rung pretty good early on for him, and seems it made him tentative
if so, he seems be over it now. like you, I doubt he'll ever become a PF or whatnot, but his skill is as advertised, and his skating is better than advertised
if I had to guess, he has a better chance of being a player vs a bust

the definition of 'bend don't break' for the whole team

gotta give props to FLA, that's a heck of a team. skilled and FAST

caught myself at times counting their players on the ice lol

 

[TheDizee]

didnt watch the game but did see 4 to 1 PPs and shot totals. lucky to get a point today it seems.

 

[simon IC]

Bortz gets some heat from some folks, but dude can flat out PK

That is why I am so vehement that Perunovich does not take his spot. Perunovich definitely has a spot, (in the top four already!) but he is not replacing Bortuzzo on the 3rd pairing RD.

 

[Meatball]

Good to get a point. As long as we make it in as an 8th seed (or the equivalent under this new format), that's all that matters.

Brown has been great last 2 games, but key is whether he can sustain it.
