GDT: TRAP GAME - 7pm Eastern @ Buffalo Zoo's Giraffe Enclosure

[Linkens Mastery]

I never do. It’s more fun posting in other teams GDT, only because it lets me see what other teams are thinking. It avoids the blatant homerism and/or cynicism that is our board (understandably rn).

I sometimes go to other boards after games to talk about the younger players. I like talking about the up and coming rookies and 2nd year players and seeing how they are growing.

Our only recent problem was with Avs fans. We don't like them.

I like hockey fans in 2nd tier cities like Buffalo, Winnipeg, Columbus, St. Louis, etc. Kindred spirits of a sort.

Imagine our minors coach trying to develop D. We’ve given him one person. The rest are in college or juniors

y'all have heckuva lot more high picks over last few years than we have. and have generally used them wisely. i don't think you guys are far from being really good.

There’s a lot on our team to talk about in that case lol. If it wasn’t for Methuselah in net, the Sabres average age would be even younger (already the youngest).

Armstrong will make a massive mistake if he doesn’t sell off free agents at the deadline.

There’s no chance this roster can actually compete for the cup.

Trading Parayko while he has value around the league is another thing Army should do. He’s the biggest p***y on the team. A lot of people harp on the Krug deal with some valid reasons but at least he brings offense to the roster. Parayko is a giant glorified bottom pairing D with no heart.

This stick checking roster is one of the least Bluesy teams I have ever seen.

And for crying out loud pack Panger in the suitcase of a player being traded. All he does for 60 minutes is laugh, make golfing reference, and glorify anything about the opposing team.

The Wave at a hockey game? Seems.... out of place.

It's 90's night. Jerseys, music, even Sabretooth the mascot repelled from the rafters like he use to do. The wave fits the 90s

 

[Robb_K]

lol

I was kidding, of course. Saad is a good 2-way player, who can play on the shut down line, and still score 20 goals+. It would have been a better joke setup if we were talking about Scandella.

Oh definitely. Love watching players like Thompson, Powers, Dahlin grow. Buffalo looks to have a good future set up if their prospects hit as well.

Second tier? I assume you mean that in a “not a major metropolis” way, and less of a “shitty city” way. But I found Avs fans to be cool, but mostly because there’s no chance of a rivalry with Buffalo (not counting football, but only because I hate football and have no idea who plays who).

That's fair. Wasn't saying anything bad about it. Just wasn't expecting it at a hockey game. Lol

I thought I was harsh tonight. LOL

I agree with you. We are missing something on this team. It's not enough. If 25 and 18 brought it consistently I would have more hope.

Jury is still out there. They look good. Hopefully they hit a lot of the past two drafts, because there’s definitely gonna be a lot of questionable choices due to world events. I think every team should get a pass for misses and busts

I see no point in the Blues holding on to Tarasenko, RoR, Barbashev, or Mikkola after the TDL unless we are so far in first place in the division we look like a god-team. ESPECIALLY Tarasenko.

Yes...not in shitty way. I love STL because it's not huge, it's not splashy, and I can affordably raise a family and I can freely travel around without a traffic headache.

20 min to right the ship .. lets go

Before that commercial and they showed the statue of Tim Horton, was anybody else surprised to know his name was Miles Gilbert Horton?!

no

If they can make it a 4-2 or 4-3 game might accept this as just an off night. But with our recent record setting losing streak I fear there is something foundationally wrong with this team.

Don't go to Hawaii, you'll be stuck in traffic for 2 hours from one exit to the next. Especially if the US Navy is doing RIMPAC exercises.

have to score here ... lets get 1

Lived there for 3.5 years in the 90s. Stationed at Schofield Barracks.

Lived on North Shore.

The Blues go on The Power Play! Let's get back in the game!
