They have proven in the last several games that they deserve the best chance Army can give them this season. I dont see the return on any of our available players being good enough to justify throwing this season away anyways.
I don't think The Blues will risk tossing away this new chemistry. I don't think ANYONE will be traded off. The Blues need Hoffman's shooting, and Schwartz's hustle and puck stealing. The only thing they really need is a more consistent back-up goalie; but they're not going to be handed one. So, I think they'll stand pat, and let the chemistry continue to solidify.
It just came out of nowhere. I had just told my wife they didn’t have it tonight and I didn’t see a goal coming.
If only he could finish again. Such a streaky scorer.
Yeah they really didn’t look good at all in the last few minutes. And a lot of the night, Minnesota wasn’t doing much besides just sitting back and we couldn’t get anything going.
Husso's good performances are good. He makes really athletic saves, but the issue is that his saves/wins are the same story we faced with Allen. He will let in soft goals, move in his crease WAY too much, but makes really timely saves to keep the team in it. Of his 6 good starts in 14 games, he is 5-1-0 with 1.99 gaa with a 0.936 sv%. In the rest of his games he is 2-4-1 with 4.62 gaa with a 0.844 sv%. That is TOO big of a spread for a goalie and he would have to play super well for his stats to change considerably. He'd have to average 1.33 gaa in 3 games with ~ 26 shots a game to even break a sv% of .900. I'll praise him every time he makes a good save or keeps the team in it, but he more often than not has a bad game and if he doesn't, he looks too jumpy in the wins.
Edmonton has a way of turning decent goalie prospects into PTSD patients
