GDT: ♫ @ Otawwa Senaters 3pm eastern

[Dbrownss]

I have been saying this for a while now. The Blues have been playing their "B" game all year. Their "A" game is coming soon. With 3 new players, sickness and injuries, they just haven't been clicking yet.

I know what your getting at but besides the STL line and Shattgunn......i havnt seen an inkling of a A game

Damn, Zibby can rip it. Wonder why he hasn't scored much.

 

[KirkOut]

So anybody else just a wee bit nervous?

 

[542365]

So anybody else just a wee bit nervous?

Yes, because Bobby Ryan hasn't scored his goal yet.

 

[Dbrownss]

Very.....

 

[Dbrownss]

Good job by the Stastny line


I want ott to score so bad...

 

[Mike Liut]

That's my point

 

[542365]

Ott can't miss wide to the far side there.

 

[Lord Helix]

That's my point

Just because the roulette ball falls black 10 times in a row doesn't make it any more likely for it to be red on any particular or future drop.

 

[KirkOut]

Well a win is a win

 

[Robb_K]

A win on the road against a winning team. I'll take it. Blues back in 1st in The Central.

 

[Dbrownss]

That's my point

I guess I'm getting at that I would be more optimistic if I was seeing flashes of greatness from time to time. But most of the time it's very mundane play



Odd that we had historic luck against Boston and Montreal and not against Ottawa...... backwards trip

 

[Blanick]

Liked much of our 3rd. Some mistakes but shut it down defensively and got the 2 points

 

[frostyflo]

back on the winning street!

I'm pleased with our play in the 3rd, sure we should have lead with more than just one goal but the sens never got permanent pressure on us. at 5 on 5 we were far better than them.

I guess what I'm saying is, the Blues have another gear that they haven't hit much this year. It's coming though.

I didn't think too much of it. I laughed at JK saying that we "held Ottawa to 4 shots" in the third... their ineptitude at getting the puck on net held them to 4 shots.

It's a win. I say it after every game, I'm more interested in the performances rather than results. The fourth line looked good tonight. There is little to no progress in the more important areas at this point. It is frustrating to watch some of what is going on.

 

[PitchDoug]

Great road third period. Back on track. Steen, lehtera, petrol, and frank (of course) had great games. And obviously OTT and lappy were terrific on the first goal

 

[frostyflo]

lol at Sens fans saying Petro has been invisible!
2 points
+2
5 blocked shots
good game overall, made Ottawas best players "invisible"

he's had a good game today!

also liked Ells, good positioning and movement, not much he could do on the goals against

These are the people who legitimately think Karlsson is solid in his own end.

 

[TheDizee]

what happened to bouwmeester? i didnt turn it on until very late

 

[Lord Helix]

No, I get you. I'm just saying that it's not necessarily likely that it's coming if you're basing the conclusion on the premise that they haven't played to x level so far.

 

[Mike Liut]

Decent win against a below average team on the road

 

[elkranio]

Meh game, ok third, good 2 points. And a whole night to sleep

Very sour bunch.....

Fortunately high and wide Berglund showed up in the form of Ottawa sweaters. Good win overall.
