Re: GDT: Blues at Edmonton - 2/28 7:30 - TV: TNT

Its pretty grim... but I am going to grind out every point like a good Blues fan. In Ron Caron we trust!!!!BluesSK wrote: Wed Feb 28, 2024 10:41 pm We need about 16 wins in 23 games to lock up a playoff spot.
It's possible to get in with less but this is gonna be tough sledding.
You come out of the gate with a 2 goal lead, and you lose 3-2 in OT…. That doesn’t exactly smell like roses.CaptSMRT wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 7:25 am I dont think you can call losing a 3-2 in overtime where the best player in the NHL does what he does and scores a goal from an impossible angle in the dying seconds of the game shitting the bed. People need to be more realistic about shit.
Maybe JR needs to realize McDavid is just the best player in the world, it's kind of what he does. But it helps him push the Kyrou/Thomas narrative instead of focusing on how awful most of the other 10 fowards are.CaptSMRT wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 7:25 am I dont think you can call losing a 3-2 in overtime where the best player in the NHL does what he does and scores a goal from an impossible angle in the dying seconds of the game shitting the bed.

I think the Schenn thing is the real elephant in the room and people just aren't talking about it because they know we're stuck with it and just put up with it.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 9:12 amMaybe JR needs to realize McDavid is just the best player in the world, it's kind of what he does.

Maybe just because he's liked but I do not know why Brayden Schenn constantly gets ignored. I get that Thomas and Kyrou have the big contracts, but Schenn is costing 6.5 million a year himself and still has 4 years left on it. He's clearly in major decline.
You're right about this, but honest to God, I'm so tired of seeing him not give a full effort. As for the OT winner, I assume the Blues players were gassed, but Thomas fucked it harder than Kyrou on that play IMO.BluesSK wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 9:31 amI think the Schenn thing is the real elephant in the room and people just aren't talking about it because they know we're stuck with it and just put up with it.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 9:12 amMaybe JR needs to realize McDavid is just the best player in the world, it's kind of what he does.

I think the problem with Kyrou is that his contract is just too high. If he was making six million we wouldn't hear as much griping. But he's making 8 plus and that's not worth it.

I think you're missing the point of the tweet. Every comment is a direct contradiction to the one before it. I don't really care about JR one way or the other, but he's not taking a position, he's pointing out the fanbase's lack of agreement on what happened.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 9:12 amMaybe JR needs to realize McDavid is just the best player in the world, it's kind of what he does.

That's the point. Those are comments from Blues fans in his twitter mentions. He's highlighting the obvious contradiction.Ozzies09tc wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 10:16 amIs JR drunk?

"Kyrou made a great defensive play." "Kyrou made a lazy play".
Which one was it?
Then he made his point ineffectively for a professional writer but so be it. I took My Mentions as his thoughts and not him rehashing his comment section but can see how it could mean either or.Dave's a mess wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:25 amThat's the point.

It isnt great.. .a far cry from shitting the bed. The loss to Winnipeg was worse in terms of effort against a lesser team.Turk Sanderson wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 8:03 amYou come out of the gate with a 2 goal lead, and you lose 3-2 in OT….

How many games have they lost recently? I think it’s like 6 out of 8.CaptSMRT wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 12:08 pmIt isnt great.. .a far cry from shitting the bed.

DeFranks is the best beat writer in the last 20 years and it's not close. Hope he sticks around for a long time.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:34 amThen he made his point ineffectively for a professional writer but so be it.
