Half-Assed GDT: TankTown Express: It's All Kyrou's Fault

[Stealth JD]

Blues are so much better after dumping Vladi, ROR and Barbashev. Army was pretty fortunate to be able to avoid those extensions AND get premium assets back. Thank God the Blues didn’t have the Jets season this year and be tempted to make a playoff push.

That was a great Vladdy tribute. I’m not sure people realize how great of a sports city STL is. Top 5 in the country quite easily. Just look at the Cards, Blues, MLS and arena football. We pack everything.

So if Kyrou nets 40 how are we gonna spin a 40/40 guy for 8m/yr as a bad contract?

He could also very realistically end up -40.
Which would actually be a heck of a trivia question.
Name all the NHL'ers who have scored 40 goals, 40 assists and gone -40 in the same season.

just proof that +/- is a silly stat without context

That's the problem with the +/- stat. People that don't understand context get the stat and use it to decide if someone is good or not. It's a team stat more than anything.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Toro!

 

[TheDizee]

great shot!

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

hell yeah toro

 

[Xerloris]

f***, we're gonna win this game aren't we?

 

[kimzey59]

Alright boys.
You got your goal.
Now it's nap time.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Rangers what the f*** are you doing?

 

[Mike Liut]

rangers look like 1st round fodder.

 

[Puck Luck]

f***, we're gonna win this game aren't we?

hell yeah! LGB!

Toropchenko steals the puck from Panarin, streaks up ice, all alone on a breakaway, and buries his shot into the back of The net!!! Blues lead 1-0!!!

Ovi scored 51 in 13-15 and was -35

Honestly I'm super surprised that Toropchenko has seemed to eclipse Kostin as a player. Kostin had everything but the IQ/decision making to be a great player, Toropchenko has everything except the potent offensive skills. Looks like he worked on it though *shrug*

 

[Stealth JD]

I take back everything bad I’ve said about theTerminator Toropchenko. Dude is a beast of a fourth liner.

yes he is

 

[TheDizee]

the best part of the kyrou shenanigan's is that there is a thread when he signed and it is all documented forever.

we had numerous people here who were thrilled about the signing, some comparing him to patrick kane (lol, where are his hart, conn smyths and cups again?), others saying they were fine with his defensive play as long as he put up 90+ pts a season. then there were the realists who expressed concern about his horrendous defensive play and how he was a one trick pony.

He is a train wreck defensively and not even PPG player. That deal will go down as one of the worst long term deals in Blues history.

is Toro what we hoped Kostin was supposed to be?

It still sucks that the Washington Caps could never win a cup with their single one dimensional offensive player.

Nope. Toropchenko is what we wished Toropchenko would be.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

nice save
