51The Blues are making a lot of good hits now, and seem to have been re-energised by the tying goal. Maybe they can pull out a regulation win and go 3-0 on this Western Road Trip?

53Seattle is also just a point behind us in the Western wild-card race, though we have a game in hand. It'd be a BIG difference to win this one in regulation.Robb_K wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 11:10 pm The Blues are making a lot of good hits now, and seem to have been re-energised by the tying goal.

54Great defensive play by Perunovich, to check the lead forward on an odd-man rush, steal the puck from him, and pass it to a teammate to start a break the other way.
Re: Blues vs. Kraken, Fri, Jan 26, 2024
55The Blues are being out-shot 33 to 15. It seems like they're playing REALLY tired. If it weren't for Binnington and some luck, we'd be down like 7-3.

56Being outshot 33-15 worked against the flamers and canucks :/

60Ok, lets get the second point and stay ahead of Seattle in the wild-card race.

646 for 6 on points on this road trip!
I still don't think we'd go far, but we really are looking like we could be a wild-card team, given the teams we've beaten, two other wild-card contenders and the current best team in the NHL.

We def have a goalie that can steal a series (as long as we keep kadri away from him)

66Perhaps even more important than tonight's win, we now have THREE consecutive GDTs that have reached at least 3 pages on the night of the game.
Re: Blues vs. Kraken, Fri, Jan 26, 2024
67This team has a resiliency that they didn't have before. They sucked it up and gutted out a win after Bannister tore into them during that time out.
This was big.

69The trade deadline is 6 weeks away. If we're in a wild-card spot by then, do we actually look to ADD something to the team? If so, what?
Re: Blues vs. Kraken, Fri, Jan 26, 2024
70We could use another young scoring winger, or centre, and a young Top 4 LD who is a hitter, great on positioning, and defensive awareness. But this team, even with that help, is not likely to win more than 1 series. So, I wouldn't waste draft assets on trying to get better THIS season. The only deals I'd make would need to be sleeper, lopsided trades in our favour. I can't imagine that happening.RAFritchey wrote: Sat Jan 27, 2024 12:00 am The trade deadline is 6 weeks away.

I'd like them to get Perron back (for free). But that's not going to happen.
Re: Blues vs. Kraken, Fri, Jan 26, 2024
71Are the Blues a player away from being a cup contender? imo, they are not. You just go into the playoffs with the team that got you there if this is the scenario. No way you give up assets during a "retool". Blues also have next to zero cap space to not move salary to acquire salary.RAFritchey wrote: Sat Jan 27, 2024 12:00 am The trade deadline is 6 weeks away.

Re: Blues vs. Kraken, Fri, Jan 26, 2024
72This. If we make it, mayyyybe be a 1st rd upset, then do everything we planned on doing in the offseason as opposed to the trade deadline.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Sat Jan 27, 2024 10:37 amAre the Blues a player away from being a cup contender? imo, they are not.

74Do you really WANT the blues to make the PO's tho? Let's be honest, we're not gonna win the cup, so the only thing PO's will do is get Army over-confident the team we have is closer to a cup than we actually are and lessen any draft capital we could obtain.
I love cheering for the blues, and we have a great scouting staff (now)but these "wins" are a short-sighted victory
