Half-Assed GDT: Blues @ Wild -- Half Assed Streaking

[Stupendous Yappi]

One shot, one goal.

That's the Husso way.

Then he settles down. Blues just need to know they start with a one goal handicap.

Would be an improvement on last game. And the game vs Colorado, etc.

I think the Blues showing some grit and determination to fight back in some of these games is a really good sign. But watching them play with the lead would be refreshing.

90% of starting goalies are going to tell you that they want to play every single time that decision is left up to them. I never told a coach I didn't want to go that night, even if I had something nagging from the night before. Binner is a super competitive guy and I can't imagine that the logic of "you need gas in the tank 3 weeks from now" will override the voice in his head screaming "that is your f***ing net, go protect it!"

"Do you want to get in there" is not a question the coach should be asking the goalie. It is the coaching staff's responsibility to manage the goalie's workload. For the long term good of the team, this is a night where you let your backup take a pounding instead of asking your starter to come save the day.

Normally I would agree with you but our season could depend on this game and we have less than 10 games left. There's not much room for error and we've proven this year we're very capable of going 6-7 games with out a win.

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Goddamnit!

 

[Xerloris]

Can we start a petition to make GDT's in advance so they can all be made live and we don't have to deal with manually refreshing like heathens.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Let's go

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Kyrou has a stick attached to him after skating through the slot and no call

 

[AjaxManifesto]

BANG

That was Krug and the quick shot

 

[mk80]

Sammy!! Great start by the Blues!

 

[ajhahn]

Really good start to this game. Keep the pressure on.

 

[Puck Luck]

nice deflection! love to see those go in

 

[Mike Liut]

Ive always liked Blais. Good 3rd-4th liner

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Hoffman-Thomas-Kyrou are humming again

 

[mk80]

The Kyrou, Thomas, Hoffman looks fantastic so far!

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Been pouring on them so far

 

[AjaxManifesto]

We look smooth

 

[BlueMed]

Blues are coming into playoff form. Gotta go into it with Hoffman-Thomas-Kyrou as our 3rd line. Hopefully Kostin can get here and replace as much Sunny as possible.

 

[Mike Liut]

What a difference compared to last nights 2nd period.

 

[mk80]

Take advantage of this PP and really put them on their heels!

 

[Xerloris]

It's so nice to watch when the team plays their relentless style.

 

[Robb_K]

Nice to see Blais continue to play well since his return to the lineup, driving to the net often, and setting up there. Nice deflection goal. Good for The Blues to score first.

And The Blues are on the power play, so maybe they can extend their lead.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

PP stinko
