GDT: Game 5: Blues at Stars 1/26/13 at 7:00 CST

[ManyIdeas]

What happened to backes?

 

[The Note]

Much, much better period. Perron's playing like a man possessed

 

[EastonBlues22]

Turned on the game with 10:00 to play in the 2nd, and it's been all Blues since. Have to go back to check the DVR later to see what all the early doom and gloom was about.

Tarasenko really impressed with some defensive plays in the little viewing time that I've had. Schwartz had a nice back-check, and Berglund and Stewart have looked good driving the net.

This is the Perron that I'm used to seeing. Great stick-work and vision, with aggressive penetration to the middle of the ice and push towards the net. Great stuff.

Hope Backes is alright. Not used to seeing him dazed like that.

 

[danglzzz]

Well its safe to say that was David Perron's period. Good to see him pick it up.

 

[Alklha]

Same questions as ManyIdeas, what happened with Backes? Forgot about that with the Perron plays shortly after.

Even a slight issue and I hope we sit him for the third.

 

[Meatwagon]

Tarasenko made a great play on Perrons 2nd goal. Stops the clearing attempt, doesn't hesitate, passes it to Perron and he does the rest.

Much better period boys, lets keep it up!

Saw him get interfered with a bit and give 24 a bit of a crosscheck/shove, then the puck was flung to the NZ and backes was down, didn't get a good look

 

[Stang]

backes is back

 

[EastonBlues22]

Backes back out there first shift in the 3rd.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Bad decisions by Redden just inside the blueline led to that goal.

 

[Alklha]

Great start to the third...

 

[Stang]

ugh stars score. 4-3

 

[Jzk]

Saw that coming.

 

[Robb_K]

Sloppy play allows an easy goal for Dallas. Blues did not have enough bodies back.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

I agree that Nilstrop's helmet is bad ass.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Pretty play by the McDonald-Steen-Tarasenko line next shift. Thought it was a goal, but Nilstorp got a toe on it.

 

[Lord Helix]

Tarasenko's vision is being showcased tonight.

 

[Stang]

stars goalie hurtin pretty bad.

 

[Stang]

Lol it failed but I like that tarasenko wasn't afraid to try a move like that

 

[Lord Helix]

That looked close...Thought he would slide in.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Oh man so close.

Just need my boy the captain to get it going offensively.

 

[Robb_K]

The Blues seem to be playing DOWN to the competition. They don't seem to be playing with urgency against a Dallas team playing without half their offence (Jamie Benn, Jagr and another key forward).

The Blues better start playing harder, and better score the next goal.

 

[Sushiko]

Close one is killin' me.... argh!!!!

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Man, Nihlstorp is hurting bad. We need to get him moving from his right to his left.

 

[542365]

What a hit by Oshie!
