Re: GDT: Blues vs Jets - 7:00 2/27
26Our captain's gumption motivated our team to give up three goals.
Could be and I hate to jump the gun, but that 3rd goal was all him....
He has an average at best team in front of him. He’s at worst a capable back up. I think it highlights more how good Binner is and how much he bails this team out.
That's the story of this season. They can only win when the whole team is playing hard a whole game, and they get a great goaltending performance in that game, too. They need to get younger, faster, bigger, and more skilled. Just like an expansion team. It feels just like the rebuilds after the low-points of 1977-78, and 2005-06.BluesSK wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 9:53 pm I'm glad they imploded now rather than later.
That's the best I can say about this. Some of these players just mail it in if they don't feel like showing up.
Yes. Trading off any of the players that'll be on their downsides in 3 years, when The Blues might be ready to contend seriously, again. Adding Snuggeruud , Bolduc, and possibly Dean, and maybe even Dvorsky, next season, should help. But, they'll need Perunovich to improve greatly, and get some help on the back line. It will be interesting to see what Armstrong does at The deadline, and during The Offseason.
I bet you could get that piece by trading Kyrou.Robb_K wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:15 pmYes.

I'd be okay with doing that.CaptSMRT wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:54 pmI bet you could get that piece by trading Kyrou.Robb_K wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 10:15 pmYes.

Actually Blues played well, they deserved at least a point tonight. Couple mistakes cost them. That line change with Connor was bad luck. Bolduc with a great shot off the cross bar. Kid is looking like a true goal scorer.
Hayes should be a better player. He looks like a bad prospect out there. He adds nothing to this team at all. A complete waste.
For sure, they are betterJMC-STL wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 7:36 pmBillP uses a composite stick now.
Maybe, but Connor is a sniper. Quick release. So fluid. If that was anyone else on their team I bet there wouldn’t have been a goal there.Ozzies09tc wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 8:03 pmCould be and I hate to jump the gun, but that 3rd goal was all him....
I think the move goaltending is to keep status quo with this tandem next year. Binner has bounced back to form, and Hofer has performed as well as you'd hope a kid would in his first NHL season. Devoting just under $7M to goaltending is pretty good cap management, and the performance overall has been solid.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 8:13 pmHe has an average at best team in front of him.

The 3rd goal tonight though was soft. But that’s a backup for you
