Half-Assed GDT: Half-Assed Slumpbuster 2: Quarter-assed

[Robb_K]

The Blues played reasonably decent in The 2nd. But, I'm worried about their getting tired in The 3rd after having to defend on all those PKs. I hope they can keep up their energy all throughout The 3rd.

Need a full 60 minutes, can't do the patented Blues strategy of blowing the first 15 minutes of the 3rd then trying to win it with a push in the last 5 only to get shut down by the goalie turning into the 2nd coming of Brodeur or having to pull the goalie and giving up the EN goal

In a normal season I think the team (how they are currently constructed) makes 3rd quite easily. The problem this year is they are wearing themselves down playing a double edged sword style where their forechecking is wearing themselves down more (over the long run) than their opponents due to the condensed schedule. Blues are also the only team to not get a 1-2 week Covid-cation.

We’d be a different team with Parayko and Sunny

Right. We'd be playing like crap at full strength then, instead of playing like crap at about 85-90% strength.

[mk80]

Weathering the storm to start the period

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

thomas puck hounding in his own end and kyrou tying up the guy in the slot... wow.. so it DOES happen... sometimes..

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Barbie arm/wrist got banged up.

 

[mk80]

Well I guess the Blues are going to do the "win it in the final 5 minutes strategy"

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

and barby seems to have taken a pretty good shot to the arm.. hope he can shake it off

 

[Puck Luck]

good news everyone. My wife is watching with me, so this one will at least go to a shootout

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Come on, no more shot block injuries Barbie

 

[Blueline2757]

Barbie is hurt again this team just can't catch a break

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Our entries suck...

 

[mk80]

oh my

Just let the Avs have all the pressure this period. Not like we're down a goal or anything in danger of losing a playoff spot

 

[Mike Liut]

Barbie is hurt again this team just can't catch a break

This team’s luck is so bad it could be raining vaginas and we’d get hit with a pecker

 

[Zamadoo]

Great D shift!

Now let's bring some energy!

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Well I guess the Blues are going to do the "win it in the final 5 minutes strategy"

They suck at that...

Oh well...

 

[Zamadoo]

Binner refocused and slowing things down.

 

[Blueline2757]

This team f***ing sucks. Quoting Homer Simpson. "I've seen teams suck before, but they're the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked"

 

[BlueSeal]

At least this is entertaining.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

So has Faulk left the ice this period? He's been out there almost the entire time.

 

[Blanick]

This 3rd has been all Avs. It just feels like it is a matter of time before they score again.
