GDT: Game 6- Blues @ Flames

[BlueOil]

sunny hits the empty net

 

[LGB]

I don't understand why so many want our only young talented defenseman to fail

 

[Robb_K]

Sundqvist gets a rink-long empty-netter!!!! Blues lead 3-0!!!!

we have a young talented defenseman on our roster?

 

[Xerloris]

I don't give a shit if the Flames suck. We apparently suck too so we're beating our peers!

Nice by Bortuzzo to dive back and break that up

love borts too!

We do

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Why does it always seem we bury the 150ft prayers into the empty net, but can't hit something from inside the offensive zone

 

[BlueOil]

we have a young talented defenseman on our roster?

yes, one jordan kyrou

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

We do

who?

 

[mk80]

Way to go Hofer!

 

[Xerloris]

love borts too!

Borts has more heart than anyone on the team.

 

[Robb_K]

Great save by Hofer, and he gets the shutout!!!

 

[BlueOil]

hofer with the 0-fer

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Finally.

Hayes still is skating like a half priced player.

I wonder if Vrana is having personal issues again.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Borts has more heart than anyone on the team.

i don't think it's a coincidence that we scratch vrana and dress borts and follow up perhaps worst game of season with maybe best. in spite of what some here think, berube isn't an idiot and tonight we played the way we need to play.

1- Perunovich is 25.
That isn't exactly "young". He's actually older than Thomas.

2-He played under 10 minutes(9:44). What good is that doing anybody?

 

[BlueDream]

amazing how much better he looks when not chained to tucker.

To be fair to Tucker, he is a rookie LHD playing on his off side.

I’d love to give him a chance to play on his true side with someone that isn’t Scandella too.

Point 1 is true but I'll give him the young label since he's missed so much time early in his career. 9:44 is a lot better than 0 in my book. I want to see him out there.

Edit: Actually he is a bit younger than Kyrou

 

[PJJJP]

That was a good defensive game by us. Looks like kyrou spent all his time in the offseason on defense he forgot how to score on breakaways. However I have been impressed by the defense Kyrou has shown

fair enough. what we know at this point is they are not good pair. i haven't given up on tucker, just not with marco.

 

[Robb_K]

who?

Perunovich could be young and offensively talented, and, yet, at the same time, be incapable of defending adequately on The NHL level (and that won't cut the mustard, as a defenceman's main job is to defend. The jury is still out on whether or not he'll be able to become a regular defenceman in The NHL. Personally, I think he'll at LEAST be able to hold down a regular "sheltered" 3rd Line position, as well as a PP QB position on a weak NHL team. I'm hoping for more but not holding my breath, as so far, he's shown to be somewhat brittle, and might get hurt too much to be a dependable regular. Still, we should give him time to see how things turn out before writing him off.

Maybe Berube knew what he was doing benching Vrana. That was by far our best game this year. We actually maintained offensive zone possession and generated multiple chances on a single zone entry. Not sure what changed, but if we keep this up we will win some games and ruin our draft pick while still getting our ass kicked in the first round of the playoffs. Yay team

Also, so glad we dressed our young (ehhhhhh???), talented (Nope) defensman. His ability to get the puck into transition really made a difference in getting him a 10.90% xGF% this game. If he was bad a transition, it might have been lower.....wait, can it be lower than that???? That is really, really, bad. I thought he was an offensive dynamo?!?!?!
