GDT: Game 52/82 Blues @ Avs 8PM CST FDSNMW

[BlueMed]

Yeah, we’re in free fall right now. We may be bottom five by Monday. Unlikely to fall any lower than 5 though. That bottom four is really bad.

If this team is going to skydive, Army/Stillman should just let it. I don't think there's going to be any moral victories this year, and maybe the humiliation will be a nidus for motivation.

 

[TheOrganist]

Even Alexa is disgusted!

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Really just need to put Thomas with Holloway and Kyrou every few shifts to get him out of his head.

 

[Hrkac Circus]

You have to assume we’ll be sellers at the trade deadline.

 

[Stealth JD]

No Parayko. Bring on the bloodbath.

Granted

 

[StLewis11]

Too bad there's not a mercy rule

 

[Spektre]

Too bad there's not a mercy rule

Well, technically Monty could forfeit right?

 

[Linkens Mastery]

You have to assume we’ll be sellers at the trade deadline.

Sellers with nothing to sell.

 

[Thallis]

I was so optimistic just a couple weeks ago. Oh well. The tank is on.

We were riding an easy portion of the schedule in the same way we're struggling through a particularly tough stretch

 

[BleedBlue14]

Would all of those games also be against the Avs?

No but any team that has an elite player or two would most likely light the Blues up. Colorado, Dallas, Vancouver, Edmonton, Tampa, Boston, Carolina etc.

 

[StLewis11]

Simply a lack of talent, too many of our skaters tonight should not actually be on an NHL roster.

line blender :

Neighbours-Thomas-Texier
Holloway-Schenn-Kyrou
Joseph-Faska-Bolduc
Buchnevich-Toropchenko-Walker

 

[TruBlueFan1970]

Well, that was demoralizing. Hope they show some pride in the last two periods.

 

[TheOrganist]

I wonder if at any point Colten Ellis gets a start. He’s been fantastic for Springfield and the goaltending over the last month is bordering on horribad

 

[PJJJP]

Well this team is gonna sink. I want army to sell at the deadline whatever he can at the deadline

 

[Blanick]

My honest evaluation of that 1st period.

First two minutes the Blues were on their toes and attacking the puck, creating a couple of chances but nothing found the back of the net.

Blues players, "well, that didn't work. I give up."

Next 18 minutes was a complete car wreck.

How about:
Holloway-Thomas-Kyrou (speed skill)
Neighbours-Schenn-Walker (fight everyone)
Buch-Tex-Bolduc (underperformers)
Joseph-Faksa-Toro (just hit someone line)

 

[BlueSeal]

SIX SHOTS ON GOAL

TRASH!

 

[Spektre]

The Blues are literally scared to touch the puck

Just like that… Schenn has an opportunity to finish his check on the guy behind the net and he just skates by…

It’s just apathy

I would do this. I know they haven't wanted to split the Schenn line because they have been our only successful line. Truthfully they haven't been all that successful lately. The light behind Thomas eyes are pretty much out after carrying boat anchors behind him all year. Give him Holloway and Kyrou and hope the spark gets reignited.

down 4 - 0 ... do something ya plug

 

[BlueSeal]

I've seen enough. Fire Monty and the entire coaching staff.

 

[Spektre]

Imagine that, Walker finishes a check and it causes a turnover

 

[JR1]

Man that Kyrou really digs along the boards.
