GDT: Blues vs. Avs 7 pm
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2021 2:27 pm
Don't suck in the second period!
They'll be very good on 2/3 of the ice, and I imagine they won't start in the other 1/3 very often.
Yeah, man I just miss our 2019 D haha. We were spoiled with talent on D.Dave's a mess wrote: Thu Apr 22, 2021 3:32 pmThey'll be very good on 2/3 of the ice, and I imagine they won't start in the other 1/3 very often.
Two gold medal Olympians, some hungry young guys, and Bortuzzo...those were the days.ratonmono wrote: Thu Apr 22, 2021 3:54 pmYeah, man I just miss our 2019 D haha.

59.5's the best we can get now...
I believe the PP was 3rd in the league last year.Rivermanfan wrote: Thu Apr 22, 2021 9:27 pm Ya know, we've been dealing with this same PP shit for years now. We keep bringing into PP specialists that score boat loads on the PP, come here and forget how to find the net. Schen, Krug, Faulk all big PP guys their whole careers, nothing here. We gotta search out a special teams coach, priority!
Agree. Blues Cup team would rock this team. Avs overrated. Still a lot to like about this team, just a few missing ingredients. Overhaul not necesssry, just some tweaks needed. Miss SunnyD. Still not giving up. Team just needs to start winning these close games and get the momentum going in right direction. Easier said than done but that’s all it takes to change the perception of team.Turk Sanderson wrote: Thu Apr 22, 2021 9:53 pm Like I said last time... Colorado's lead by a bunch of figure skaters... their bones should fucking hurt after they play the Blues... you have to beat them into the ice, but the Blues don't. There ain't a player on this team except Schenn who could carry Bobby Plager's jock. No-one wants to lay someone out with a big-time hit... they pass up every opportunity to do so. A shitload of power-plays and just a few shots on net... the snipers can't find the net if it was 8' X 12'. Kyrou plays like he needs a couple more years in the minors, if there were minors right now. Vova looks like he totally lost it. Put away the hockey sticks away, and bring out the golf clubs...these guys just don't want it enough...end of story. and rant!!!
Doesn't matter Robb... the Blues treat them like they have it anyway... no-one wants to put a solid hit on anybody.Robb_K wrote: Thu Apr 22, 2021 10:17 pm I missed the whole game. I was sure that I read that this game was postponed due to Covid protocol (or was that Tuesday's game only?).
There are minors right now, but that ship has been scuttled for Kyrou's career path.Turk Sanderson wrote: Thu Apr 22, 2021 9:53 pm... Kyrou plays like he needs a couple more years in the minors, if there were minors right now. ...
I of course haven’t seen a game, but i applaud this sentiment. We were trending this way before, and it’s the opposite of how we should be trending. I understand if you want to get rid of aging shit-disturbers, but you then have to replace them with younger, more energetic shit-disturbers. You can’t just have that void. I would rather have a team that’s very tough to play against that sometimes loses than a super-talented team that loses sometimes.Turk Sanderson wrote: Thu Apr 22, 2021 9:53 pm Like I said last time...

Agreed. Just wish we had a super talented team. What we have now is a team with some good forwards that need sandpaper support and a gutted D.T.C. wrote: Fri Apr 23, 2021 7:28 amI of course haven’t seen a game, but i applaud this sentiment.

Agree on all except the Avs being overrated. They're great, but might be undone by goaltending. Avs-Vegas in the second round is going to be awesome.BillP. wrote: Thu Apr 22, 2021 10:01 pmAgree.
