2am isn’t thaaaat bad for a 7pm game

Many of us have a lot shorter turn arounds for work lol

We're not pro athletes who play one of the toughest sport though.

 

[MXD]

This game is one where we can see the true level of our team.

We're good, and getting better, but we're not ready to take a team like Dallas, with all of its depth, talent throughout the lineup, and veteran leadership.

To try and bridge that gap a bit, I think St. Louis should tweak the strategy on the forecheck a bit to try and get our guys going.

We've been getting "one-and-doned" a lot by the big rangy defense of the Stars along the boards and on the dump-ins, so we should try to gain entry into the zone with possession more.

Oh, and we should try and hit the net on our shots. We've been getting some clean looks and haven't been even close to touching Oettinger on some of those shots (Gallagher, Anderson and Matheson were the three main culprits of this to me in the first, hope they get better as the game progresses).

If we do that successfully, and find the right balance to try and restrain the Stars' strong and deep offense, I think we have a shot in this game even though our opponents are clearly the better team overall.

I wouldn't be going for blank generalizations here. We're looking a bit like the Caps looked against us yesterday, and exactly no one made comments about the general level of the Caps (and they also couldn't raise the fact they had been on the second game of a back to back).

Doesn't mean there aren't things to work on.

Am I the only one that does not have a live thread? I am on a Windows 11 PC.

There is no live thread until they finish the update.

That's shameful wig, on Albert.

[JuJu Mobb]

Guys, did you know that Victor Bartley was now retired?

Joel Hanley is still playing tho.

 

[Canadienna]

There's a main board thread about this game specifically?

No, about the Habs recent run, and it was a joke.

 

[zx81]

Columbus up 1-0 in stl after 1 period.

Not a great night on the scoreboard again today so far.

Western conf teams dont help us much these days

Habs have beaten teams as good as Dallas if not better.

Knies-Matthews-Marner were -6 last game. They're -1 after 1. Lol

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

Only just finished the 1st? Why did Anderson get a double minor?

And props to big play Dave ripping that caged weasels helmet off.

 

[OldCraig71]

If that was their best, we can beat them. We are due for a pp early in the second period and we will score.

[MarkovsKnee]

Alright, 2nd period has been pretty good for us. Let's go!!

Wes McCauley power trip.

 

[The Real Timo]

I am starting to think Dvorak will not get us a first.

 

[EXPOS123]

Jim Nill was an incredible hire for them.

I remember some poster ( an obvious Bozovin cheerleader) trying to convince me that he was a better gm than Nill....lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Damn close tip by Slafkovsky.

 

[The Great Weal]

If Newhook could pass Suzuki scores that easily

He's a poor man's Ron Jeremy.
