GDT: Game 25/82 Philly @ Blues 6PM CST FDSNMW

[Robb_K]

The Blues got lucky on that 2 on 3 that the shooter shot wide. But they scored the next time down on a 2 on 1, unimpeded tap-in.

 

[Mike Liut]

The Flyers are doing their part to help us with that

Zero shots so far. Are we playing the 90’s NJ Devils?

Tough touch on that pass…

was a nice pass from tex

Our last three periods have been horrendous.

 

[BlueMed]

Im realistic about it, just would be nice to be picking 7-11 as opposed to 15-16 again. Need elite talent, or atleast a better shot at landing some. Missed the ability to trade up for Dickinson or Buium last year because of 3 extra wins. Dont want a repeat.

This may not be the best draft year for tanking. I get the sense that the front office finds more value in building a winning culture before Dvorsky and Snuggerud likely join next season.

Tough touch on that pass…

Jake Neighbours is best suited on the third line. Change my mind.

 

[Robb_K]

Nice stretch pass by Thomas to Neighbours got him a short breakaway in on goal, but he couldn't control the puck when he was ready to shoot.

 

[Mike Liut]

The Blues keys to success…

Outwork teams
Score 2 goals
.940+ save %

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

damn that was a good chance

 

[542365]

Finally a couple of scoring chances.

 

[Robb_K]

Kyrou got in on goal and got a shot off, but thr goalie mad a good save on it.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Jake Neighbours is best suited on the third line. Change my mind.

Whatever works.

 

[Robb_K]

ot a good 1st period. The Blues buckled under from The Flyers' smothering forecheck. And when the Blues had the puck, they couldn't control the puck well, not able to keep it on their sticks, and lost it several times. They got a few chances, but couldn't put it into the net. I hope they play better the next 2 periods.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Not a fan of Scott Waramnn's style.

Jake Neighbours is best suited on the third line. Change my mind.

I don’t mind him being the 3rd wheel on a top 6 line to help spread out the offense akin to the rotating cast of guys we put on the ROR/Perron line. Problem is having both Jake and Texier as guys who aren’t drivers on the same line.

This may not be the best draft year for tanking. I get the sense that the front office finds more value in building a winning culture before Dvorsky and Snuggerud likely join next season.

Some other posters spewed this same rhetoric last year. I dont think losing 3-6 more games over the course of last year woulda changed the culture. And we woulda netted Dickinson or Buium. This team is never gonna bottom out for a top 5 pick (outside of lottery win). But being hopeful for a top 10 pick as opposed to picking 16 for the 2nd straight season is the wagon im hitching to. Keep the games close, but additional losses here or there could make a big impact down the road.

someone just got rocked ... get in there boys

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Bolduc rocked Sanheim!!

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Bolduc demolished a dude

 

[DoubleK81]

How do the refs miss Sanheim holding onto Bolducs stick for 5 seconds?

 

[Eldon Reid]

Dang. Bolduc threw a beauty of a hit.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

lets get 1 here

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Anyone gonna help Bolduc?

 

[Robb_K]

Blues go on The Power Play!

PP sucks thus far

18 needs to shoot instead of passing to his online gaming buddy
