Re: GDT: Blues @ District 5 Mighty Ducks - 9:00 - FSMW - 3/12

2nd great game in a row. The Blues ALL played hard and on their toes most of the game. They smothered The Ducks for much of the game. Nice to see them standing The Ducks up on their Blueline, instead of dropping back and allowing free entry.

Re: GDT: Blues @ District 5 Mighty Ducks - 9:00 - FSMW - 3/12

I didn't like The Blues giving up possession a lot early in The 3rd, satisfied just to dump the puck into The Ducks' zone, or even just to centre ice, to get quick line changes. And taking the pressure off The Ducks led to a goal. BAH! I hate turtling. The Blues need to remain aggressive.

TERRIBLE power play with a Duck without a stick and The Blues were making bad passes and giving up possession.

Good 1st Period. Lots of great back checking, good breakouts, they look like they did early in the season. Maybe they remembered how to play hockey again.

You shouldn't be looking for a loss. This year's Top 10 picks don't have any forwards that are enough better than later picks in 2019, that would make it worth The Blues missing this year's playoffs.

Nice to see The Blues play well today and win convincingly. I hope it keeps up and they make the playoffs.

Nice break for The Blues that a "faceoff violation" was called a penalty after the faceoff was over, and regular play started.

Re: GDT: Blues @ LA Kings - 3:00 - 3/10

Were only 5 points out of a top ten pick. Better to lose THIS year's 1st Rounder than 2019's. That draft will have several more high-quality forwards than this year's. IF The Blues sign Tavares, and a veteran scoring RW, then, maybe keeping this year's 1st Rounder and drafting a defenceman inside t...

Re: GDT: Blues @ San Jose - 9:30 - FSMW

The Blues are not looking very good, giving up possession too often, and getting trapped in their own zone, bothered by The Sharks' forecheck. I'm not enjoying this.

Re: GDT: Blues @ Dallas - 1:00 - FSMW 3/3

It looks like The Blues used up their reserve strength in The 3rd Period, and had very little left to try to compete in OT. Too bad. They need every point, and to keep Dallas, Minnesota, Colorado, Calgary, Anaheim and L.A. from every point possible.
