Wow.
These day after Thanksgiving games are a joke. The home team is at a definite disadvantage.
Check the League scoreboard.
You beat me to it as I was editing my post XDBluesSK wrote: Fri Nov 24, 2023 4:10 pm 7-3 Neighbours. That's the first power play goal at home this season. On Black Friday.
It's a clause in the current CBA. Under the "Giving Back for All Blessings" secret addendum, which also includes: "Though shalt not win consecutive Stanley Cups, unless you are a team from the Sun Belt where critics tell us we suck at developing markets."Ozzies09tc wrote: Fri Nov 24, 2023 3:45 pmHoly shit.

So is it your birthday Robb?Robb_K wrote: Fri Nov 24, 2023 4:50 pm Not a fun game to watch. It's actually an advantage for the away team to play a day game right after a major holiday with your own family. Let's hope things get better soon.
I just found out I share a Birthday with Ryan O'Reilly's wife. At least SHE enjoyed this game.
On to the next, we hope will be much better.

Yes. My 77th. I had a great birthday with several of my family members. So, I can't complain. A Blues' well-played victory would have capped it off. But I have no illusions that The Blues are good enough this season to win more than 1 playoff series (and they'd have to have a lot go right to even do that). But if I knew they'd play this badly today, I wouldn't have been rude enough to take part of my attention from what the others were doing to grab looks at it on my laptop. They accommodated me because it's supposed to be my day. I'd just like to see the young Blues' players progress in an atmosphere of winning slightly more than losing, being as it won't be possible in any case, to get a high enough pick to get a sure-thing difference maker.BluesSK wrote: Fri Nov 24, 2023 5:55 pmRobb_K wrote: Fri Nov 24, 2023 4:50 pm Not a fun game to watch.

Not a very good birthday present if it is.
Being active on offence, with that nifty no-look pass off his drive to the net, helped him get positive. Maybe such play can help The Blues get a draft choice for him at the trade deadline?BluesSK wrote: Fri Nov 24, 2023 6:11 pm Weird stat of the game:

He's been much better since the hip surgery and it's definitely a moveable contract now.Robb_K wrote: Fri Nov 24, 2023 11:57 pmBeing active on offence, with that nifty no-look pass off his drive to the net, helped him get positive.
