Re: GDT: Blues @ Colorado - 8:00CST - FSMW
126Allen is staying in after that?! Say what you will about him, but he must be made of rubber.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!
I agree about Hutton, but Allen doesn’t need an excuse. He’s been pretty damn good tonightbarcthespark wrote:Don't worry, Allen will be OK. He's just setting up his post-game excuse.
Hutton should have been in goal tonight.
Agreed. He hasn’t been great this year, and that is what we need him to be is great. DA might want the put some feelers out there this off season.UMSLBlues12 wrote:I’m just really unsure about Parayko at this point. He was very good as a sheltered guy, but I don’t think he’s good enough defensively to play big minutes consistently. And he’s not good enough offensively (like say, a Shattenkirk) to make up for his defensive issues.
Not just saying that because he got undressed by MacKinnon, been thinking it for awhile now.
I'm not ready to give up on him. I think this is just an off year for him. Lot's of players have a sophomore slump, but I think he is having a junior slump. Now if he plays next season like he has this season, then we may have a problem.UMSLBlues12 wrote:I’m just really unsure about Parayko at this point.

I think Hutton will be in.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote:Curious if Jake tightens up over the intermission and we see Hutton start the 3rd
His rookie year was his best. He got a little worse the following year. He's gotten a little worse this year. That's a directional trend, not a slump.barcthespark wrote:I'm not ready to give up on him. I think this is just an off year for him.

Yeah, there’s at least five to seven moves to be made. ? is can or will theyDread_Pirate_Westley wrote:Regardless of what happens in these final 20, I hope this team looks a lot different next year. And I don't just mean some prospects coming up.
The key is getting the right 5 to 7 new faces. This team needs injections of skill, grit, and leadership.bradleygt89 wrote:Yeah, there’s at least five to seven moves to be made. ? is can or will theyDread_Pirate_Westley wrote:Regardless of what happens in these final 20, I hope this team looks a lot different next year.
