if we would have drafted Benson that wouldn’t have happened

 

[TK 421]

Ok we're back in this thing.

 

[Mike Liut]

if we would have drafted Benson that wouldn’t have happened

We don’t let our draftees play for 3 years minimum.

 

[TheDizee]

Swiss cheese goal in binner. Yikes

 

[Robb_K]

Nice to know that Thomas is back skating with The Blues.

 

[Celtic Note]

Could we steal Power on our way out of the arena?

 

[Xerloris]

Come on man, let Binny see them coming at least.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Kyrou did something Buch can't do. Win a faceoff

 

[Robb_K]

4 man screen and a deflection. Can't blame Binnington for that one.

 

[Celtic Note]

Parayko and Suter couldn’t clear the one guy in front of the net that they were both covering?

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Periods aren’t 19:55 long guys

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Periods aren’t 19:55 long guys

I mean that's a win. Usually they only play for 15

 

[PocketNines]

they have a real shot at 7-12 by 72 hours from now

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Impossible, he's a useless floater.

Now I'm Saad.

I know you're just kidding, but I don't have too much of a problem with Kyrou. What I see, however, is that he has another gear that he is unwilling to engage. I agree with @TheDizee on this. Not to the extent as Diz.

 

[Robb_K]

Not a good 1st Period as our defence let down, thinking they were at the end of the period, and gave up a breakaway, and Binnington gave up a juicy rebound on the shot. Lucky it's not 3-1. They'd better play better in the 2nd and 3rd. How many 1st Periods have The Blues played poorly so far this season? It seems like most of their games.

f*** yeah!

Comin' again to save the mother f***in' day, yeah!!!!

Wasn't he the #3OA that draft year?

EDIT: nope 13....his draft stock dropped.....he was projected top-5, wasn't he? Rhetorical question.

I disagree that his unwilling to engage. He has definitely been way more willing to use his body this year. He's currently on pace to pass his career high in hits by the 35 game mark, and he's going into board battles a lot more where in the past he would poke at the puck, but he's finally using his body as leverage.

He still has a bunch to work on, and a lot of it is his split second decision making. Which to me is the biggest issue across the team right now.

Another fun thing about Kyrou this year even tho he's so terrible defensively, he's only been on ice for 8 goals against 5V5. Compared to Schenn and Neighbours who have been on ice for 15, Buch 13, Saad, Faksa, and Texier have been on ice for 9. Thomas who had only played 7 games has been on ice for 6 against. And it's not even that he's not playing much 5v5 either. Hes second only to Thomas in average TOI 5v5 this year.

Another injury. Loof you're up

 

[ChicagoBlues]

He's fine. He just got the wind knocked out of him.

Wrong! Leg

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Being a LHD for the Blues seems like a bad career choice this season

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Being a LHD for the Blues seems like a bad career choice this season

It’s like being drummer for Spinal Tap.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Blues players are not allowed to have legs this season huh...

You have a leg? Are you a Blues player? HA NOT ANYMORE!!!

Ok I'm done now.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

LETS GOOOOOO

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Buuuuuch

 

[LGB]

Great sequence from Kyrou there

 

[Celtic Note]

Kyrou with a hell of a shift on that goal at both ends of the ice.
