Half-Assed GDT: Blues vs Dallas

[ChicagoBlues]

Apparently we are one of the leagues favorite teams which is why we get so many calls lol..

Holy Shit!!

I just came here to post the same.

Just read some BS on the Stars' board that the officiating was bias so obviously toward one of the NHL's favorite teams.

LOL

Typical Texas whackadoodle projection artists.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

FIVE whole pages lol
over half the chat is kvetching about the refs (bad calls both ways really) and another 3rd trashing blues fans/this board lol

Their GDT thread is only 5 pages.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Looks like a bunch of us had the same idea to read the Star's GDT.

Whiny ass bitch fans of one of the NHL's actual favorite teams.

If what happened to Dallas happened to us, we’d have the same reaction, so I don’t blame the Dallas fans. Let them think we’re a favored team - we know better.

From the Billikens beating Rick Pitino’s Gaels to this evening, it’s been a good 24 hours for St. Louis sports.

I haven’t read it but I assume their GDT reads very similar to ours from just a few nights ago

Holtby deserved more, but we’ve been on the opposite side of these kinds of outcomes enough that I can’t muster much sympathy.

Reminds me a little of the anticlimactic late win in Winnipeg when (Schenn?) came on because someone broke their stick. Gearing up for OT and suddenly the game was over.

From the P-D

Before the puck came out to Krug, Schenn had grabbed the stick of Dallas’ Miro Heiskanen behind the goal and pulled him to the ice, for what easily met the qualifications for a penalty. It wasn’t. Referee Corey Syvret’s view of the play was blocked by Pavel Buchnevich and play went on.

I’m not seeing the whole “the refs gave the Blues this one” view at all. There were zero calls on Dallas in the 3rd where the Blues dominated. Then they call Perron for tripping after he laid a perfectly good n legal hit on Benn right after he released the puck! That was with 5 minutes left and the Stars came really close to icing the game. 2 valuable minutes off the clock thou.

Then the stars kept crying and flopping like the did for most of the 3rd. Why would Heiskadan (spelling) flop when your stick gets held for a second? It’s under a minute and if he would have stayed on his feet then he had a clear step on Buch and probably would have cleared the puck and won the game.

Instead a flop and extremely dangerous two handed to Kyrou’s wrist ended up costing them!

What a finish!

Got to watch this at my brothers house while helping him on a project. Fully intended to skip this game and it seems most of the Blues players (outside of Binny) felt the same way. We never get going for an afternoon games let alone on a Sunday!

So happy for the win though, also happy I wasn’t here to drown in the negativity (not that it was not deserved) lol!

Your legs don't give out when someone holds your stick unless you're flopping which Dallas is known to do.

Holding the stick is still a penalty. After all the whining here about the Pens game...

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

im glad to see niko keep stepping up ... its his job to lose now

So is diving. It’s under a minute, grow a sack and clear the puck instead of flopping

Hard to do when someone is holding your stick, just saying...

The call on Hakanpaa was weak but so was the previous one on Perron. The call on Benn was blatant, and yes, they 100% missed the penalty on Schenn. Calls get missed like 20 times a game, it happens.

I can see someone being annoyed about Kyrou passing it with a broken stick, but in real time it all happens so fast that I really don't see it as a penalty. He dropped it like .5 seconds after it broke.

 

[mk80]

Didn't see the game but saw the highlights in the last minute. I could watch this over and over again! LOL


Edit: Also just scrolled by this. NHL has made a scoring change

 

[ort]

Actually, I just rewatched it and I think you could make a pretty good argument that Kyrou did indeed play that with a broken stick.

At full speed though, I can how it would be easy to miss. The penalty against him was definitely a good enough whack to be a slashing even without the stick breaking. The ref probably didn't even know it was broken.

I started watching this game at like 3pm. I was planning on watching it from the beginning, but my stupid remote on the second TV has been dropped like 50 times by my kids and is currently being held together by rubber bands. Because the band was pushing down on one of the buttons, when I tried to skip a commercial break I accidentally skipped the whole game and it started up with like 8 minutes left in the 3rd. I watched for like 20 seconds before I realized what happened and when I did and had the score spoiled I said, screw it and just let it keep playing.I was pretty annoyed, but I think it may have worked out for the best.

Is it just me or do most of the players seem to really hate doing these post game interviews in front of the whole stadium?

I feel like if someone took the bull by the horns and really hammed it up and played to the crowd they could quickly become fan favorites.

Instead they all just look like they want to run away as fast as they can.

Not just you.

If Kyrou knowingly played that puck with his stick broken, it’s some sort of closure on this circle of karma.

Hockey players aren't known for their dry interviews for nothing. Too much cultural inertia against being expressive in professional hockey, it seems. Always have to be rigid and sanitized.

Binny is fine

He looks a little slow getting back up on his skates. He might be nursing something.

I'd like to see Chucky at some point again. Having 3 solid goalies is nice.

But we don't want to lose him to waivers - especially while the Covid Protocol is still around.
