GDT: St. Louis Blues vs. Vancouver Canucks | Cup Defense on the Brink |

[tfriede2]

Dunn + our 1st + what else to the Rangers for #1 OA?

A lot

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

I think there was just too much effort in the game day threads

 

[simon IC]

I am so disappointed in this team.

 

[TruBlu]

No matter who won this year there was going to be a huge asterisk next to whichever team won the cup. At least we can still claim we are on the road to a dynasty if we win the cup next season, thanks to the Hawks!

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Nice wake up call.

GET TO WORK

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Did we get rid of that Stars troll?

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Dunn + our 1st + what else to the Rangers for #1 OA?

We don't have the assets for the #1 overall. Complete pipedream.

 

[TheDizee]

I don’t know what’s worse. Losing to Canucks or the covid excuses.

well they are both a joke. the whole process of coming back was a dumb gimmick just to fulfill TV contracts and generate revenue by having extra games.

they should have had the top 8 play at the spots they had at the pause if they wanted to come back this year. honestly, a 5 or 6 month pause then going right into the postseason is stupid as f*** and its why the winner of the covid cup wont be taken seriously at all.

 

[Chojin]

Big old meh from me. Got bigger fish to fry in 2020.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

So where are we drafting, #26 or #27 right?

 

[illininer]

I could've stomached this loss if we played our asses off and just got beat, but not showing up in an elimination game is inexcusable. Embarrassing

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

who the f*** is petey ?

spot on ...

 

[Zezel’s Pretzels]

Just remembered how Game 7, spending a G to fly home for the parade, and buying all the merch felt last year.

I’m at peace. This happens again next year? Maybe not.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Forensic Files time? I think so....

 

[TruBlu]

Blues playing in front of binny like they did in front of Allen at the beginning of the season last year.

 

[fishsandwichpatrol]

covid break screwed things up but we should be better than this

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I can’t fault Berube for going with Binnington. I would have done the same. But we didn’t get a sharp Binnington. I have to wonder, if they trade Allen, will the Blues wind up with a starting goalie problem again. This is a pretty big time to repeatedly lay an egg.

On the other side, full credit to Markstrom. Of all the Canuck players, he’s the guy I’m most impressed with in the series.

Good for Vancouver. I’m sure it’s a thrill to make some noise in the postseason after so long. But this is the story of a St Louis team that showed up in the bubble and never got it together. It was evident from going 0-4 prior to the series. I expect Vancouver’s lineup will suddenly look a lot more flawed against Vegas. And if St Louis had made it past, they’d have been overmatched too.

 

[Bluenatic]

Blues won't get much open ice the rest of this game and if they do, there's Markstrom. What a bummer to not get their game going what so ever in the bubble

I don't look at it like this at all.

The Blues messed up how they approached this "tournament".

They relied on "reputation" and did very little to prepare or get to "their" game.

This was a series of sprints and not a marathon.

agreed

Completely agreed. Good post.

Ding ding ding. The goalies can only do so much when the Blues play like garbage in front of them. Same thing happened in front of Halak, Elliott, Hutton, and Miller.

neither 1 of these teams is playing like a contender. vegas and avs are the class of the west in the bubble and its not even close. nobody in the east outside of the isles is close either.

 

[Spektre]

We don't tho?

It’s a joke just like the Rags even having a chance for the 1OA should be a joke
