GDT: Game 59/82 Blues vs Kraken 7PM CST FDSNMW Super Late GDT Edition

[Xerloris]

Because his OWN team members accidentally hook onto his stick to keep him from covering the large amount of open net space? Or because his own teammates neglect to cover the opponent forwards down low?

Either or and in this instance, both.

Great win for The Blues. I hope this gives them more confidence to keep playing hard, whether or not they can make The Playoffs. Great team game. I wish they could play like this a majority of their games.
Fowler, Bolduc, Toropchenko , Sundqvist, Binnington, Buchnevich, Faulk, Parayko, Kyrou, Leddy, Walker, ..Etc. Just about everyone played really well.

Wow! Even Schwartz and Dunn got a goal! Oh…wait….

I guess if I pick the Blues to lose feel free to bet they score a dozen

Pick them to lose EVERY remaining game. Then, they should make The Playoffs!

Well, that was a fun game to be at.

Horrible goalie interference call on goal 8 though. Brutal officiating.

And who scores for Seattle? Dunn, and ex-Blue! Will Schwartz score next?

Look what you did Robb!

I've always been a big fan of Schwartz, and am always glad to see him score (unless it's a game winner that beats The Blues or The Jets). I don't mind The Kraken getting 2 goals. I'll take a 7-2 win, ANY time!

Blues 9, Seattle 0

I will make gdt to get us 3 wins in a row. It will pain me to hurt chuckie but maybe he will not play.

That would be hilarious if we still make the playoffs after all the negativity among fans this season.

Amazing what competent special teams and your best players playing their best can do for a team. They really look like a completely different team and even Faulk and Buch look like their old selves again. All 19 guys contributed to this win.

If we lose I am going to blame you so f***ing hard.

We have Caps, Kings, Stars, and Kings before the trade deadline. Flames and Canucks both have 2 games in hand on us, Flames play 5 before deadline and Canucks 4.

Feels like if we go .500 in those 4 games, Army probably sells, but if we can some how get 6+ points, I could see Army allowing them to push for the playoffs. It's a brutal 4 games against playoff teams, so it's a good test to see if they are in playoff mode or if they are the team they've been all season.

I don't think we sell because I'm not sure if we have anyone to sell. We have 2 pending UFA. Suter and Faksa.

Faksa is playing good defense with tough deployment. But he has 10 points in 46 games, which would is pacing to finish the season at 15 points. Sure someone would like him as depth to plug in when you need D. But what's that worth? A 5th at best? More likely a 6th or 7th. If we have any shot at playoffs, why trade one of our few centers for a late round flyer

Suter is already being paid by 2 of the playoff team while playing for us. It's not because of his play. He wears out his welcome in the room and this us well known. Could some team take roll the dice he doesn't disrupt the room over 20 fames and playoffs, maybe. He is a solid 3LD. But I also wouldn't be surprised if teams took a lesser player with less potential drama.

The rest of our potential trade chips have term which makes it much more complicated. I could see a team taking Binner, but will they pay Army's price? I ask the same question about Schenn.

I think we stand pat. They'll say it was to let the team push for playoffs, but in reality, nobody met our price

But the other teams have games in hand. Basically 6-8 points out unless they lose them.

The Blues are playing their best hockey of the season IMO the past 2 games. If they play like they did against Colorado especially, they can do some damage. That was a dominating performance.
