Half-Assed GDT: Blues Vs Oilers 7PM Hulu/ESPN+

[Spektre]

That's how I learned it too. I started playing near the beginning of the 1950s. We were "allowed", nay, instructed, to IMPEDE the puck carrier. I liked the game better back then than today's game, with players falling down on their own, and the closest defender gets called for tripping, or teams have pantomime artists who flip their heads backwards to pretend they were high-sticked, and the ref calls a penalty.

That’s what made Jackman an NHL defenseman, along with others.

I’m fine with opening up the game and letting the skill show more. I disagree with the one fight at a time rule. The rules in general have always been a joke. There’s slashing and cross checking all the time but don’t get called. It’s always been like this.

The way Mcdumbass skates across the middle of the ice with his head down would play out very different in years past

Stevens woulda killed him like he did Lindtos and Kariya

I hope Binner does well in the Four Nations tournament. It would help to shut Binnington haters around the league up.

 

[StlBigFly]

Can’t blame opposing teams for throwing pucks at the net to start games against us. Quite a few times we’ve had weak goals get by early and yeah.

But it’s a real flimsy strategy when you get the saves. Not much odd man stuff, even down low or neutral zone, or rebound stuff when you aren’t a bit more selective with possession and shots.

 

[Blanick]

Holloway has to shoot that.

Over under 10 shots this game. I am thinking the under.

crowd sounds flat ... push

I mean the Blues haven't really given them any reason to get excited.

Here it comes.

 

[Xerloris]

So there was no hook...

[Davimir Tarablad]

Generating more shots shorthanded than 5v5

 

[Blanick]

Was only a matter of time.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

[Spektre]

Mcdumbass scores

The national crews always have crowd suppression going with their audio.
Because in their idiotic minds everybody wants to listen to the talking heads instead of paying attention to the game.

 

[Spektre]

What’s the record again when giving up the first goal??

Nice play by Holloway. Would have loved to see that go in.

7-20-1

It feels a lot worse than that

 

[Robb_K]

I might tune in. Are we getting g caved?

The Blues have been playing fairly well, not getting a lot of scoring chances, but the few they've worked for were good, solid chances. They've only given up a goal to McDavid on their devastatingly dangerous power play (much thanks to Binnington), but the team defence has been better tonight than over the last several games. they're not allowing all those odd-man rushes and easy back-door tip-ins.

 

[Blanick]

FFS Buch. How do you miss from there. Go to therapy of something.

 

[Spektre]

Pretty sure I could hit the net from Buch’s location 3 feet from the crease…

I guess at least Neighbors got a shot on the breakaway??

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

come on leddy put it on net lol

 

[Robb_K]

Neighbours should have made a move before shooting on that breakaway. He, Toropchenko, and Kyrou need to go to "finishing school".

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Thomas again with the staring at the sky after not scoring.

 

[Spektre]

Thomas misses AGAIN and he makes it worse because he does the head look to the rafters like always…

I can’t believe someone hasn’t talked to him about body language
