Half-Assed GDT: There's a game tonight

[scottyajak]

Unless he was about to die from exhaustion, how is Kyrou on the bench for the 6 on 5?

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

It wasn’t very full to begin with. I’d guess maybe 12,000 fans at most.

Tuesday night in the midst of a losing streak against the worst team in the league? Not surprising.

 

[Fitrix]

While this is just no way a good loss, really hard not to be emotional with this team. 3-5-2 in the last ten after such an amazing start.

82 games is a long time, but something in the formula needs to change.

 

[Meatball]

Be a man and take responsibility for crapping the bed.

I did, I said that eventually we'll get our heads out of our asses and start playing to our abilities again. That implies that we played bad.

At the same time, however, the Yotes played excellently. Wedgewood made the saves that he had to and their forwards showed up.

To any Yotes fans reading this board, excellent work!

Glad we could help you out a little bit.

If we don’t absolutely dominate the Sharks on Thursday then Berube’s seat should be hot. This has to be a wake up call. If it’s not then the team is checked out. And that’s on the coach.

Probably got benched for his ill-advised attempt at a 1on4 entry that almost resulted in a goal against

 

[AjaxManifesto]

that building emptied out fast

Don't fill it again until they give a shit as a team

Maybe but still

 

[PocketNines]

You probably have to go back to that loss to the Blackhawks the penultimate game of 17-18 for a loss that bad

They're basically an ahl team. Sure they played good for them, but if we weren't awful it wouldn't have mattered.

Average play beats the yotes at their best 10/10 times.

That’s for any yotes fans reading this, too.

Yep. DA did his job

The team is lost.

Berube's job is to help them find their way.

 

[TheDizee]

this losing streak started when they quit playing while up 2-0 vs trashville. i dont think they'd had a lead since.

either way it starts from the net out for me and the goaltending isnt good enough right now. not impressed with binner lately outside of his winnipeg game.

 

[Robb_K]

Covid hit us hard. They’ll pick it up

That was a minor contributor. But they would have lost tonight, anyway, even if no one tired easily, or their timing was off. The team just went through the motions because they were playing an abominably bad team, and thought they would win it, no matter what. But in The NHL, you can't do that and beat even the worst teams.
Just like the bogus tripping call cost them a goal and they lost by one goal, I hope losing this game that they should have won, no matter what would happen, won't cause them to finish one point short of a much better playoff seeding (like giving away home ice advantage in The Western Finals, or The Cup Finals). With the Blues' usual luck, that WILL happen.

 

[Spektre]

Not much to say when losing to a team that’s built to lose every game

 

[Robb_K]

I have a sinking feeling the Blues are about to score three goals and win no matter how much they don't deserve it.

I'd rather have had THAT sinking feeling, than the one I have from losing the 2 easiest potential points for probably the rest of this season, just due to laziness and lack of determination. A determined team (one that wants to win more) almost always does better than a less determined team with better talent.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

yotes were missing 7 guys tonight. copocabano had 1 goal in 15 games in his career before he scored tonight. hayton had 3 in 43 career games; he got 2 tonight. like could this be any more embarassing?

it should be getting warm

Dammit. See you all next time.

Berube needs to public rip them, including his goaltender. Robert Thomas is another jokester who was awful tonight. When he wasn't passing up shots for no reason, he was coughing up turnovers for freebies for the Yotes

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

This team has lots of talent but lacks an identity. We have lost our cycle game but haven't fully committed to playing anything else. We don't consistently look to attack in transition, although that seems to be what we do best. We aren't really heavy defensive team and our forwards don't seem fully committed to playing lockdown defense. Not saying this is all Berube's fault, but it's ultimately his responsibility. And if he can't fix it soon, it's gonna be somebody else's responsibility. Hitch, Ott, Monty, I don't know who, but we ain't lacking for internal options.

Thomas is probably most talented guy on team and certainly the most maddening. How many times is he going to watch his guy score?

if i could like this more than once ...... i would
