Potential Season Ending Epic Double-Assed GDT: On The Brink| Blues @ Avs| 7pm, TNT| Lazy Meme/Gif Party

One thing we are forgetting:

LINDGREN IS IN THE LOCKER ROOM.

THAT might be enough.

Screw the reality, I BELIEVE!

Lets Go Blues!!!

chuckie being a good soldier and cheerleader wont make up for husso letting in swiss cheese soft trash. id take jake allen over husso in these past 4 games.

 

[Brian39]

hes lucky he won a cup or id fire his ass on the spot when husso blows up tonight

Yeah, he's really fortunate that a guy with zero input on his career is showing some restraint about wanting to fire him.

 

[PocketNines]

We laughed at the Wild because they didn't switch goalies soon enough. This is a completely different scenario where we've had a goalie injury.

We were laughing at different things then because I was laughing at the concept of "Talbot against the Blues" generally at all moments before during and after the series. He had an .837 in his previous seven starts and he put up, what, a .846 in Game 6?

 

[TheDizee]

You know, coaches don't always make the right decisions. They're human like everyone else. That said, it is comical to read people second guessing the decision to start Husso as if they have more information and a better feel for what is best for the team than the guy who has been coaching these same guys and in the same locker room with them all season long. Please feel free to share your detailed insights as to why you're right and Chief is wrong.

Blues are undefeated when Chuckie plays.

 

[PocketNines]

Please Husso, make all my posts about you mockable. I'd rather win, by far

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Neither goalie choice provides Berube with the puck-handling that would make the real difference. I don’t see much reason to get excited over Husso vs Lindgren. It’s pretty easy to imagine Lindgren imploding under the pressure of a Colorado onslaught.

Show me a game where the team sustains some zone time and limits the chances against the Blues’ goalie. Thats the thing that needs to change tonight.

I wish I didn’t, but I think tonight will look like Game 1 again. The Blues have had the luxury of playing with the lead in every game, but they still haven’t managed to limit Colorado’s chances effectively.

 

[ValHaller]

A certain someone was right about Ryan Miller too, as I recall

For goaltending no, BUT if the guns fired and score 7 goals, netminding won’t matter.

 

[Brian39]

well it was a nice year yall. i may decide to post and watch tonight but most likely wont. no point in watching them get old yeller'd because they wont give chuckie a shot when hes undefeated and did nothing but win for them.

Will this last as long as your commitment not to watch the games that Binner started? Or is this more like game 5 in 2019 against Winnipeg when you were trying to get people to join you on the Vegas bandwagon before you came running back?

 

[TheOrganist]

Different circumstances, Blues win the series. Tonight, I hope we show some pride and don’t get waxed.

Blues are undefeated when Chuckie plays.

Alternate take. Chuckie has never played in an NHL playoff game much less an elimination game and sports a robust 3.50 GAA in this season's AHL playoffs.

If I read the name “Chucky Sideburns” again, I might blow my head off.

Another team performance like game 1 and we'd be seeing both of our goalies regardless of who started.

 

[Xerloris]

If Husso doesn't keep his mother f***ing stick on the ice he should literally be told to pack his shit and leave.

Alternate take. Chuckie has never played in an NHL playoff game much less an elimination game and sports a robust 3.50 GAA in this season's AHL playoffs.

The absolutely hilarious part of this is that Husso's sporting a 3.76 and that includes a shutout. f*** me dead.

also stopped 51 of 52 shots in a playoff start

ill take my chances with the guy who has done that over what husso has done. he couldnt even stop 51 of 52 beach ball shots.

i am hoping coach berube pulls a quenville and starts chuckie still. coach q did this vs colorado in 2001, pretended turek was starting game 5 then let brent johnson get the start after turek was a dumpster fire in that series.

if chuckie truly is not starting tonight, i will not be a happy camper unless he gets a shutout, because thats what chuckie would do if he was in the net.

 

[Majorityof1]

It thread is so emblematic of this board. Everyone is arguing about a career AHLer or the guy who was our starter going into the season. Like it matters at all the way we've been playing. Nobody is mentioning how badly we've been spanked 5v5 on scoring chances for most of this series. This board is f***ing clown shoes.

Were you the poster “Rightagain” on the STL Today boards in the early to mid 2000’s?

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Here hoping Husso proves everyone wrong. I am far more concerned with some scoring from our forward group outside of Perron and ROR. We need Vladi and Thomas firing on all cylinders.

 

[DangledUpinBlues]

I'd almost rather lose tonight than put up some amazing effort and win - just to have us lose the next one.

Who are you talking to? If you insult the entire board, who do you think is going read your reasoned opinions? You might as well just jot tidbits like this in your diary.

At WORST, at least there would be one more Round 2 gate for Stillman's group. Playoff revenue is not trivial. But damn if it wouldn't be fun to see the Avs start to clench up in a Game 7, when the media narrative turns to all their failed 2nd round attempts.

EDIT - I'm repeating myself, but I really hate this auto-merge. Completely unrelated posts are jumbled together.

Then give tonight’s game to the Avs. Husso won’t get it done.

We DO NOT FOLLOW LOGIC. The Blues operate by FEEL. Gloria should have taught everyone that much.

LINDGREN brings that. And we need that right now.

Everyone stop saying LINDGREN isn’t proven when it’s a fact that Husso has been proven to be a major liability in this series.

Change the tempo, clear the players heads. The series starts now or it ends now.

We’ll see how much resolve this group really has.

Whoever’s idea auto merge was should be banned lol.

 

[Louie the Blue]

Starting Lindgren in Game 5 in an elimination without playing a NHL game since December would be a recipe for disaster.

 

[ValHaller]

I think I can already see the cope forming. No matter how Abjectly Terrible Husso has been, even if he comes out and gets dumpstered tonight the narrative will be "well it would have happened to Lindgren too, probably worse."

 

[Klank Loves You]

Im a believer! Husso stands on his head!
