GDT: Game #78: Blues @ Oilers - 8 PM - SN1

[McDrai]

Do we know they aggravated the same injury? Do we know that playing was a bad idea?

No to both.

So you think all of these players just so happened to get a totally different injury shortly after returning? Come on now

 

[CycloneSweep]

Have we considered that McDavid really wants to embarrass Broberg

Knowing our luck he is more likely to get hurt than embarrass anyone.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I predict this GDT will be very calm and rational.

2 is a coincidence, 3 is a pattern

 

[Mr Positive]

I think he means just that they thought they were ready but they weren't

 

[dssource]

Looks like Connor is playing tonight.

No. I just have no idea, and neither do you.

Think it’s possible they came back to test it, it didn’t feel right, and then stayed out longer?

 

[McHelpus]

Has rogers been converted to a infirmary? What is going on.

 

[rboomercat90]

Why is Wallman out?

 

[MessierII]

I’m guessing Walman also got sick

 

[Zguy370]

Looks like Connor is playing tonight.

Yep he is , Connor Brown is his R Winger

 

[Sanchez]

f*** sakes Walman is out and we're going with 5 D!!! I wonder if this is why mcdavid said put me in!

 

[K1984]

I’m guessing Walman also got sick

In addition to the injuries, I feel like this team has been varying degrees of sick since the start of February as well.

Even the physically healthy players get theirs at some point.

 

[FlameChampion]

Klingberg on LTIR. What a signing.

 

[Sanchez]

 

[russ99]

Hope our fans are civil. Blues have as good a record as us, both players are playing well and they surely could have helped out team. If they want to boo, boo Jackson for botching this summer after getting to game 7 of the cup Final.

Do we have the worst management in the history of the NHL ? Playin shorthanded again? For what? We didn’t even spend to the cap. We signed Klingberg with most of our cap that we just “couldn’t” spend on Holloway, and he is just riding the pine all the way into the postseason? We traded for Frederic who can’t even play? Walman is out now too?

Running short a forward is one thing but starting a game with 5 D is pretty shite. We are the dumbest MFers who ever lived. And half the guys who are playing are AHL caliber anyway. Half the guys who are scratched/injured are AHL caliber too. Pathetic. Hell, half the guys we had stashed in the AHL aren’t even playing down there (where is 3 year deal J. Brown?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Great cap management by the dummies in charge.

Bowman couldn’t manage the Chicago cap. He’s showing us why.

 

[sepHF]

Probably should’ve used that emergency recall on a defenseman

You’re aware Holloway is also injured right?

A majority of the players injured or sick are in our top 6 or top pairing.

 

[KlefDown]

We are so f***ed man

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Great cap management by the dummies in charge.

Yeah, should’ve expected to have 10 players injured or sick at the same time.

Absolute dummies

 

[rboomercat90]

I’m not sure what the rules are, somebody help me out. We’re running 11-5 tonight which is 2 players short of a full lineup. Had McDavid not played would that have meant we were going 10-5 or 3 players short of a full lineup? Are we shorting our lineup because we don’t have enough healthy bodies or because of cap rules?

 

[KlefDown]

Will be interesting to see McDavids ice time


This management has got to f***ing go. f*** you stan bowman

 

[alphahelix]

Holloway is taking a little breather after lapping every winger on our team, he’ll be back playing top line in the playoffs. The STL Blues aren’t running games with 10 forwards and 5 defencemen. They have plenty of depth and they have more points in the standings.
