GDT: Game 38: Columbus at St. Louis | 4/5 8:00 PM EDT | The most critical edition of them

[Zarathustra]

Not that I think it would help us, but why doesn't a play like that go to Toronto? Simply because it wasn't called a goal on the ice?

Incidental contact isn't reviewable.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

No forecheck, nobody chasing the dump ins, getting beat to every puck.

Not looking good.

Not looking good.

At least the d pairings finally changed.

 

[Crede777]

The puck is constantly on the Blues' sticks.

 

[Jyrki]

sluggish pace.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

STL has 5 guys waiting for our dump ins every time, we send one guy in after it.

Classic Hitch hockey. Unbeatable when executed well.

 

[blahblah]

Wow, we seem to be losing damn near every board battle. I would like to say it's the Blue's being good, but it's not the case tonight.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Did Gaborik get any ice time on the 4 on 4? Why not use him and his speed with more room? Now his defensive play might not be good and Richards is playing it safe but we need a freakin goal.

 

[Jyrki]

might as well read the columbus dispatch instead of watching hitchcock hockey

 

[KJ Dangler]

And this my friends is a perfect example as to why the NHL struggles to attract many new fans. I freakin hate all this clutch and grab , just get 1 goal and constantly dump the puck out of the zone

Momentum and positioning need to change fast or this is a no hope situation.

It's beatable. But you've gotta relentlessly attack. The guys are waiting for a moment instead of making one. Need to find that desperation.

 

[Zarathustra]

Prout with the puck is painful to watch.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Prout with another turnover to kill that momentum.

 

[blahblah]

Dear Richards,

Please don't play RJ on 4 on 4 hockey when you are down a goal.

Thx, Bye.

 

[Robert]

Some luck is all we have left now....

 

[NotWendell]

Even on the Blues' GDT they're saying they were lucky on that one. Don't agree with the call, but hopefully we can come back and score a quick one like he had been.

Or maybe Calvert's just cursed.

Blues goalie come out and made contact with Calvert and Matty was in the crease.

 

[Robert]

Wiz/Johnson

 

[Jyrki]

oh man can we do it

 

[JacketFanInFL]

No hook there on Prospal of course.

 

[ConoR187]

please

 

[Robert]

May as well go 6x4

 

[FANonymous]

Can we do it?

 

[Zarathustra]

Wiz/Johnson

Yup. Changed it early in the third, I think.

Prepare for a 6-4.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Huge PP. Wiz needs use his slapper and have body's in front of the net(not in the crease though).
