GDT: Game 48/82 Blues @ VGK 5PM CST FDSNMW

The next time Mike Weber grabs the team together with a two goal lead…do the opposite.

 

[Xerloris]

Fair, but I think most would agree hofer has been the better goalie over roughly the past month

I think he's had some good games but also he's given up some real bad goals when the team gets a lead because this is IMO but it seems like he gets cocky.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Binny poke check on slowmo Russian

Love Bouchy, but his head must be on another continent this season...non-impact player thus far

I'm glad The Blues got the 2 points. Buit they had a 2-goal lead with just a couple minutes left. So, I really think they should have been able to hold that lead and win in Regulation.

And the Minnesota game. Another blown 2 goal lead in the 3rd. But it’s good that we are playing with some good teams on the road I suppose. Some key guys still look off right now.

I was shouting this all year last year. Still think that signing will be an overall mistake. This team becomes a contender again when it become Dvorsky, Stenberg, Holloway, Brobergs team. Thomas and Kyrou should still be in their primes when that happens but Buch will be exiting his. We're gonna have a 8mil dollar 3rd liner in a few years.

I was livid when that TDL passed and he was still a Blue. And then the extension is filed in my WTF folder.

hell...we have an 8 mill 3rd liner right now..... lol

This definitely has the prospect of being the one major causality of the “retool not rebuild” era…committing big money to a really solid, but certainly not elite player that was going to be pay him a lot of money long past his prime.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Not worried about Buchy. He just needs a mental reset. Stop thinking so much out there. He’ll get turned back around.

 

[StlBigFly]

I think many will enjoy Buchnevich when Snuggerud is on the other wing or Dvorsky at center and we let the young ones do whatever they want while ole Buch handles the responsibility and occasional headbutt. He’s gonna show his value as all these new little dudes show up.

Schenn’s renaissance is giving me hope for any long in the tooth veteran that previously looked liked they belonged in a nursing home…though with Buchy I thought this would be in a thing in 2029, not now.

Honestly I felt the same way but I am really starting to worried. I feel like starting the year at center f***ed with his head but he has been back at wing for awhile now and he's just not been impactful. He picked up another assist tonight but ask yourself was their any point tonight where you found yourself impressed by a shift of his. He is just kind of there, not really engaged but just there.

For sure, Atleast the cap looks to continue to explode, I saw something the other day that it might be at 97 mill next year..... With thomas and kyrou making 8 as well... It could atleast help balance buch's overpayment, He could provide alot of long term value as a veteran to the kids throughout our middle 6 in the steen era, but if his contract were 6.5 it'd feel alot better lol.

 

[TheDizee]

1 more win and I will make the GDT to make sure this team feels what 3 wins in a row is about

 

[Blanick]

The only reason I hold out hopes for the playoffs (because I don't see us going far beyond that) is that we would somehow face the Oilers in round 1. I want the Blues to eliminate the Oilers off a Holloway OT goal assisted by Broberg. Just to watch these boards burn to the ground. I just want the lols.

We have only played them once this year and that’s all it took to make me 100 percent agree with you!

 

[LetsGoBooze]

I for one actually hope EDM wins a cup within the next couple years. McDavid is so much fun to watch, would love to see him raise the Cup before our window opens up.

 

[DatDude44]

I think buch will be fine at the end of the day, but due to just being a slower guy, I think he'll benefit alot more and fit a top line well, if he's more of the third guy in line for driving play versus being the 2nd. Like if Thomas and Snuggerud/whoever can form an elite top line duo, then Buch could compliment it well with his smarts and skill.

I hope the exact opposite.

Seeing McCryer frustrated on the ice is like Christmas. I felt the same about Dumbo Thornton. The media fawning over them makes their failures even more satisfying
