GDT: Round Robin Game 1| Blues vs. Avs |Back in the Game|

[EastonBlues22]

Very. I can only imagine how happy you have to be to moderating a hockey GDT again after months of dealing with the dumpster fire that has been Covid threads.

Honestly, I've basically taken a leave of absence for the last couple of months.

It's been hectic in real life. Job stuff, and my wife and I have our first child due in a month.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Feels more like a scrimmage than a playoff game.

 

[mk80]

We are definitely hunting and battling for the loose pucks tonight

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Parayko out to take off some legs with his shot again

Yeah I hear you, I took a little break from the forums as well. Only occasionally popping in here and there. Congrats on you upcoming baby.

 

[Nederlander]

Already more physical and more jump tonight

 

[Blanick]

Some decent movement and possession need to put some pucks at the net.

Still looking rusty. It is a very big advantage to the round robin teams to get a few “real” games in before your playoff series starts. Legs don’t look like they’re there yet.

 

[izzy]

somebody do something

 

[mk80]

Ok...

 

[Stealth JD]

Can you imagine...what if our scouting staff was lousy and the organization chose Johnson over Pietrangelo?

Tuuka Rask vs. Justin Pogge.

 

[Blanick]

Blues need something to spark them here. Not playing terribly but not playing great either.

 

[Novacain]

I'm still at "If we lose this game, oh well" but I'm gonna get worried if we don't start looking better pretty soon.

 

[Bluenatic]

Still a bit rusty but much better than against chi

 

[Blanick]

Do not like this angle.

 

[mk80]

It hasn't been a perfect start to the game but at least you can see steps toward playing our normal game.

 

[izzy]

blais looking good at least, lots of control there

 

[Blanick]

That was some good cycling down low. Need to see more of that.

 

[Oberyn]

Lots of cycling that's leading to nothing right now
