[A Real Barn Burner]

Winner! Fully expected OT to happen lol. Ggs boys! Hopefully Thomas is okay wtf happened?

 

[Blanick]

Yeah that was some cheap shit at the end there. Was the Svech?

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Suter bear hugging 2 dudes at the end of the game scrum

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Just as we all predicted, a win and a Kapanen GWG

 

[TheDizee]

Take that canes player number who pulled a cheap shot there and put it in your back pocket for the game @ carolina. If he is not playing, take a nice run at their goaltender.

Eye for a eye.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Good for Kappy. Game winner. I hope he gets more confidence. He has the skill and speed. He just needs to go for it.

 

[TheDizee]

hey hey the blues is alright

it was jarvis at the end .. he would get smoked

 

[TheDizee]

He better keep his head up when they play next time. I would take runs at him everytime hes on the ice and I hope coach remembers what that little punk just pulled and the Blues respond.

Circle November 17th! I want some old time hockey!

The Blues hold on and win this weird game!!! Blues move up to 4-2-0. Hofer is 3-0, after playing half The Blues' games so far. So nice to have 2 excellent goaltenders, and some young players playing so well (Broberg, Holloway, Neighbours, both Josephs, and Bolduc).

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

I'll take that win! Feels like another game that they would've let slip away the last couple seasons!

Keep building and improving!

 

[PJJJP]

Lol I liked how burns is still getting his ass handed to him by us. Like how are you gonna let Kapanen do you like that. Kapanen of all people lol

 

[Dr Robot]

Just watched the replay. Svench gave Thomas a little bit of a cross check as the horn went. Didn’t look like much but Schenn didn’t care for it.

 

[Robb_K]

Good for Kappy. Game winner. I hope he gets more confidence. He has the skill and speed. He just needs to go for it.

He just needs to play consistently most of the time. He can look like an all star on one play, then look like he's sleeping on the next five, followed by another excellent-looking play, and 3 plays back to sleeping.

My Rod the bod story….

We use to work out at Turners gym in Manchester together. We’d spot each other occasionally… I knew the owner George Turner pretty well. I told him the Blues have some good young players with good potential, like Brindamour, Zezel, Hrcas etc. He said to me, well, here’s what I think about potential… You can put a piece of shit in one hand and potential in the other, put them both together and what do you have? LOL, I always wondered wtf that meant.

 

[PocketNines]

Shhhh, he’s a liability, no praising allowed

I criticize him when he's earned it and I praise him when he's earned it

 

[Mike Liut]

Is there a better tandem than Binner / Hofer? They are elite

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Broberg was best player tonight.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

God I love being able to enjoy watching this team again.

Between my Illini beating Michigan earlier, and now the Blues taking care of business against the Canes…it’s been a good day.

*Siri queue up Ice Cube*

That was a perfectly executed stretch pass that Kapanen timed perfectly and reached streaking past both defenders, and then he made no mistake on the shot, slowing down just enough, and without warning, lifting it above the goalie. There wasn't much any of The Canes could have done on that play. When the offensive team (who knows exactly what they will do, and executes it with perfect timing), the defenders have no idea how far the pass will go, and when and where the streaking forward will pick it up. IF he times it perfectly, and picks it up in stride at full speed, it's too far ahead of the defenders. Meanwhile, the goalie has to guess when the puckhandling forward on the breakaway will make his move, and keep from reacting to it IF it's a fake (e.g. guess right), be in correct position to block it (again guessing right), and hope the shooter can't adjust to HIS correct blocking movement. A LOT has to go right for the defending team once the stretch pass is picked up past the defencemen. A save by the goalie in such instances is a really great play, or the shooters has flubbed the play by skating too fast, or losing puck control, or the goalie has guessed perfectly correctly (maybe one chance in 4 or 5).

The only way the defencemen (e. g. Burns) could have stopped Kapanen from doing that, was to anticipate the stretch pass (only one chance out of several things the puckholder could have decided to do), or to commit a penalty by hitting Kapanen on his way to retrieving the puck (interference). Once Kapanen picked up the puck in full stride, Kappy was too far ahead for Burns, or the other Cane, to pull him down or hold him.
