GDT: Game 5/82 Isles @ Blues 7PM CST BSMW

From what I've seen of both, so far, they'd help The Blues more by playing with Springfield.

I would strongly disagree with that.
Even with the penalties, they've both shown more energy than 2/3 of the team.
They just need to reign it in a little bit.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Getting Broberg was a steal

He looks like he is only just starting to realize how good he can be. He keeps improving, he may well up as our 1d.

Love that we’re shooting the puck so much on 2 on 1s. Hasn’t worked yet but it seems we so often look for a low percentage pass and don’t even make the goalie make a save. Not happening as much tonight.

They're gonna have to start collecting fighting major's if they even want to have a chance.

I remember the if we can’t beat em we should beat the hell out of em days lol. The last minute bench clears and the referees handing out 5 minute majors and game misconducts like candy at Halloween. Those PIM records might be as untouchable as Gretzky scoring records in today’s NHL.

oh my good chance and a late hit ?

When the roster settles in and they have a chance to play a more defined role, they should be decent.

 

[Puck Luck]

some of these have got to fall in right? just feels like terrible luck in the last 5ish periods

Nice pass by Bolduc to Buchnevich! Bolduc is looking better every game, getting more comfortable with his teammates, and sharpening his skills. We need our players to start finishing. I Thought Buchnevich would score on the feed from Bolduc, and Schenn would score on this last chance, rather than just hitting the post.

 

[Mike Liut]

One good thing I’ve taken away from the past 2 games against decent teams is that our defensive game is pretty solid.

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Man that was a long shift for the 1st line there. Glad Hofer got the whistle!

 

[Dr Robot]

I do enjoy that we are throwing pucks toward the net whenever we get a clear view of the goalie.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

what a great pass by hofer

 

[Stealth JD]

These two teams matched against each other create some some ugly hockey. If they were division rivals, both teams would lose some fans.

 

[kimzey59]

Hofer needs to redeem us by scoring a goal tonight.
I know he's got it in him.

We’re going to need to get a lead first.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

time for the line blender ?

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Crazy what are the chances Lemuix and Roy same bdays! I want too see Holloway score his first Blues goal!

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

lets get 1 here

I have no problem with them playing with a feisty edge. The Blues need that. It's more about P.O. needing to develop his hockey sense (play reading) and getting into proper position when defending, and his brother developing his offensive skills more, as well as his positioning and play without the puck. They both still look more like career AHLers, and maybe marginal call-ups for an injury-plagued weaker, NHL team.

 

[Xerloris]

f*** Faulk sucks on the PP

 

[Robb_K]

The Blues go on The Power Play! Let's open the scoring!

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Schenn is not a good PP QB that was just ugly.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

some pressure

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

All those islanders leaving the little Blues Bro hanging! Heartless robots!

 

[Robb_K]

All The Blues' shots on that Power Play had only the puck carrier - shooter moving before his shot with all the others standing and watching. No wonder ALL 4 of The Blues' shots went straight towards the goalie's chest for no chance to score. Why weren't any of the forwards moving??? There'd have been no one in position to jump on a rebound, and no chance for the shooter to make a pass/shot for the tip-in. Who is The Blues PP coach this season?
