GDT: EDM Oilers @ STL Blues 6pm CST

[TheDizee]

this is 2 subpar games for binnington in a row now. might be a pattern forming here.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

Parayko just isn’t an offensive guy. He is an excellent defensive defenseman while can pot 30 points. But he isn’t going to be more it seems

wonder if it'd be beneficial to put Walman on the PP and let Parayko get an extra min or so to catch his breath

 

[President Skroob]

Let's all take some REAL deep breaths in here.

In. Hold. Out.

We've got 20 more minutes, and 68 more games.

not looking like a + at the moment.

 

[Thallis]

Lol do you honestly think that it’s just a goalie playing over his head? This team’s offense has been terrible against teams that aren’t 50% healthy.

The offense has been league average overall, but if there's something we're good at it's finishing. We're way better at that than most teams and have been for years.

He's given up 4 goals in 5 games already this season. That's not a good pace no matter how you look at it. His svpct will dip below 90 after tonight. Imagine still thinking this guy is the answer.

If you do even an ounce worth of analysis you would realize how stupid this is.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

Kyrou-Thomas-Buch are playing so well. Speed, offensive pressure, creativity. It's as if the rest of the team are like 3 steps behind them.

its the future of this team

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

was for the 2019 run. It has been changed.

to another goalie that didn't carry us anywhere in the playoffs lol

 

[RR10]

This goalie is playing WAY over his head.

No he isn’t. He was lucky on Saads chance in the first period, rest of them has been standard saves after mediocre finnishing by the Blues.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

Parayko is f***ing terrible on the PP

he is average at best ... we need moar

 

[Thallis]

its the future of this team

I like all 3 players a lot, but this isn't really something that's encouraging

 

[scottyajak]

6'7 goalies are bullshit

 

[Linkens Mastery]

its the future of this team

100% them and Bolduc. Still need some more high profile wingers for that group tho.

In a game like this, it might make sense.

Once Krug gets back and once Perunovich comes up, I think Parayko is out of the PP rotation.

 

[Chet Manly]

We haven't even been 50% healthy since game 8....

And yeah, this game should be 6-4 at least. It's not like we're not creating the chances.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

In a game like this, it might make sense.

Once Krug gets back and once Perunovich comes up, I think Parayko is out of the PP rotation.

he's already pulling big mins shadowing McDavid... giving him extra on the PP doesn't make much sense.. to me anyways

if Krug was healthy, I don't think he'd be on either units honestly

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I like all 3 players a lot, but this isn't really something that's encouraging

That's wrong with Kyrou-Thomas-Buch? Kyrou and Thomas are playing at about a point per game pace each and Buchnevich is finding some real chemistry with them as well.

 

[Celtic Note]

100% them and Bolduc. Still need some more high profile wingers for that group tho.

I am not ready to anoint Bolduc yet.

I think we need a top flight center.

 

[Blueline2757]

I've tried my best to refrain from saying it but I cant help myself. This is a game where not having Pietrangelo hurts.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

I am not ready to anoint Bolduc yet.

I think we need a top flight center.

the way Thomas is going, think we might have one.. if he stays healthy

def obvious ROR doesn't have his legs back tho.. which stinks.. this too shall pass

they had a great start to the season, but there was always gonna be rough patches.. it'll be fine. they have too much talent to be 'bad'

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I am not ready to anoint Bolduc yet.

I think we need a top flight center.

That's definitely fair. I still think Bolduc's creativity is going to be extremely eye opening. But I also think he's going to end up a winger as well.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

8 freaking seconds between goals against

 

[Thallis]

That's wrong with Kyrou-Thomas-Buch? Kyrou and Thomas are playing at about a point per game pace each and Buchnevich is finding some real chemistry with them as well.

Thomas isn't a 1C. None of these players are elite talents and you need an equally good line next to them to be a part of the class of the league.

 

[RR10]

Parayko just isn’t an offensive guy. He is an excellent defensive defenseman while can pot 30 points. But he isn’t going to be more it seems

It’s time to realize he is a role player and not a top defender.

 

[Celtic Note]

the way Thomas is going, think we might have one.. if he stays healthy

def obvious ROR doesn't have his legs back tho.. which stinks.. this too shall pass

they had a great start to the season, but there was always gonna be rough patches.. it'll be fine. they have too much talent to be 'bad'

At some point ROR and Schenn will decline. We need another Thomas in the pipeline as it takes time to develop players and I sense there is going to be a decline soon for that aging duo.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

I've tried my best to refrain from saying it but I cant help myself. This is a game where not having Pietrangelo hurts.

I felt that way for a long time in the 70's after Unger was traded... it doesn't help lol

let's get everyone back and in the lineup and see if it's really that bad

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I've tried my best to refrain from saying it but I cant help myself. This is a game where not having Pietrangelo hurts.

I think even with Pietrangelo this game was going to be depressing. Especially with our injuries.
