GDT: Game # 54 - Rangers vs Blues (Return of Buch) - 7:30pm EST - TNT

[Boris Zubov]

The bottom line is this team hasn’t had a fully healthy lineup all season and we’re tremendously lucky to be where we are.

But let's fire the coach. who's winning with 1/2 an NHL roster.

 

[Richard Banger]

How many cups came from those moves?

Closest they’ve been in 20+ years. So obviously it was impactful in a positive way.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Yeah but not now. You don't sell assets during a season where you have no shot to win. Next year, we'll no better exactly what we need to push over the top. We need a 2C. If you can get a young, cost controlled 2C that's the only deal you make. Otherwise, it's a panic move for no f***ing reason.

Then we don’t have the cap space. If we don’t try this year, we’ll be looking at a minimum of three more years of shit.

 

[DanielBrassard]

They're better defensively... just not tonight.

What are they better at defensively? In most metrics they are worse than last season, so maybe you can explain what they are doing better exactly.

 

[will1066]

I don't know about that, I've seen your muscles in the relationship thread.

Looks aren't everything. Hasn't that thread taught you anything?

 

[gabevh3]

So this was your fault?

Seriously what a rookie...who does that in the middle of a game? I at least wait until the period is over or there's commercial break lol

 

[LokiDog]

I dunno...those hollyweird peeps have some weird kinks/fetishes.

Stop kink shaming. Group sex is the bees knees.

 

[Anthony5967]

Give me McKegg with Strome and Panarin in the third. Inject that **** into my veins.

 

[Machinehead]

To be fair, this has been basically an even game

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Take a shot at what? Begging a round off the Pens?

You are right. Lets wave the white flag after game 82, don't bother trying. You know what, 1980 team USA should have stayed home. 2014 Kings, 2019 Blues, etc plenty of teams have gotten hot at the right time and won the cup.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

There's no chance that Kravtsov would be a worse option than Dryden Hunt. No chance at all. Hell, even a 19-year old Othmann would be better than Hunt.

We don't know the full details about the Kravtsov situation, but from the accounts we've heard, Drury essentially chased him home.

 

[will1066]

Husso turns into a brick wall this period. It's just the way this works.

 

[Kane One]

I think the odds go down the more people who need to sleep with Jessica Alba to make this bet work. She's not going to let HF Boards gangbang her. I'm like 85% sure of that.

I’m apparently a distant relative of hers, but I’ll allow it if it means we can come back this game.

 

[mike14]

Uhh, we had a stopgap RW. His name was Pavel Buchnevich. I would rather have kept him this season rather than trade him for a used condom wrapper.


But that's just me.

Which is fine, but now you don't get the same Laf development, which id much rather have than losing Buch at the end of this season anyway

 

[KOVALEV022473]

This season has been soo much less fun than our record would indicate. Feels like we're good at nothing other than the PP and Igor. It's just depressing. We're finally getting exposed.

…and now we don’t even get those anymore.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

What's really great is that for as much "grit" as they have they rarely come out playing aggressive looking to set the tone physically.

They just have a bunch of shitty wanna-be grinders right now who aren't even great at the cycle game.

The addition of grit was overblown....we added Reaves and Blais for grit. Goodrow is a good player but i wouldn't call him gritty.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Which is why it's peculiar how little we're seeing Barron, as he's the obvious first choice for a look.

It’s not all that peculiar

unless you blow Gallant away out of the gate, he’s going to stick with the veterans who may (probably) be worse

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Does it matter? Just try something else.

Like who? Reaves? Gauthier? Rooney? Chytil, who is one of the most myopic players I've ever seen? Who?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Stop kink shaming. Group sex is the bees knees.

I never said it was a bad thing. I'm fully advocating for Jessica Alba to take us all on. I'm up 1st.

 

[Richard Banger]

Seriously what a rookie...who does that in the middle of a game? I at least wait until the period is over or there's commercial break lol

Drank 2.5 gallons of water today. I didn’t have a choice to wait

 

[LokiDog]

Take a little longer to shoot that next time. I don’t think Husso had time to have a 3 course meal that time.

 

[Tob]

More opportunity for Barron if Rooney is out next few games. Panarin is straight up 0 effort right now. Has to be hurt.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Some nights trouba looks like he's worth his contracts, others he isnt worth mckeggs, this is the latter

 

[Fitzy]

I’d pay money to see Nemeth race Marc Staal

 

[Richard Banger]

I’m apparently a distant relative of hers, but I’ll allow it if it means we can come back this game.
