Half-Assed GDT: Blues at Red Wings EARLY GAME

[Celtic Note]

I don’t know if there’s a group of more defensive fans on this board than the EK vanguard.

Vanguard is a good way to put it.

 

[KirkOut]

Karlsson has one point in his last 11 games.

Bortuzzo has two.

jeez Karlsson is such a duster these days. I've seen spheres with more points than that plug lately

 

[Dbrownss]

Sad to see how empty that arena was.

Nah.....no sympathy for the wings. Piss poor ran team.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Vanguard is a good way to put it.

The vanguard is the leading component of an advancing force, so kind of the exact opposite of "defensive."

It gets big bonus points for the militant and aggressive connotations, though.

Idk man....they really are an offensive force. They usually are on the attack. Karlsson gets brought up in threads that have nothing to do with him. Similar to how every thread gets turned into a Leafs thread.

haha get wrecked detroit

pizza arena was good to us

Well, they do lead the charge by trying to use defensive metrics and the word "snub" when describing the Norris trophy results of any given year. So vanguard might be applicable.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Do you guys think the Blues can beat the Leafs in a seven game series?
Also, Nylander for Parayko makes sense to me. Discuss.

 

[The Grouch]

Will you guys keep it down. Karlsson fans can sense when he is being disrespected. They'll be along any moment.

I thought the poster was being facetious with the use of vanguard. So I liked it because it seemed like a jab.

You actually threw me off with this


I just wish Vancouver was more relevent so we could troll the backwards name guy more

It's (a lot of) fun to joke about, but it's pretty ridiculous that he still has 18 points in 22 games even with the recent slump. That means he had, what, 17 points in his first 11 games?

It's not Bortuzzo production, but it's still something for all that.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Vanguard is definitely applicable. I was just amused at that term being applied to "defensive" fans.

 

[The Grouch]

Jaden Schwartz x-rays are negative! Per Mike Yeo.

 

[Dbrownss]

Yay no break for Schwartz and his weak ass bones.


Ya...I said it

Lmao please, the so called "generational talent" is unbeatable.

 

[TheDizee]

it probably is just a bone bruise. he wont play tomorrow im guessing though.

 

[Robb_K]

Jaden Schwartz x-rays are negative! Per Mike Yeo.

That means bone bruise. Let's hope he's out for only a couple games - no more than a week.

 

[542365]

Good news about no break, but deep bone bruises suck and can linger too.

 

[Bye Felicia]

Great to hear. That's all I wanted. After seeing Schwartz go down, I couldn't have cared less if the Wings won 10-1, as long as the injury wasn't severe.

 

[TruBlu]

I had a bone spur that took 6 months to heal. Mine was on my heel, though.

 

[Robb_K]

Good news about no break, but deep bone bruises suck and can linger too.

I don't think this will be a really long one, the shot was a fairly light flip, rather than a hard slapper.

 

[Dbrownss]

Its really crazy how those things go. Schwartz took a Doughty cannon off the boot that broke his foot and finished the game. Here he takes a wrister from 5ft away and you'd think he was shot in the foot.

 

[Reality Czech]

Jaden Schwartz x-rays are negative! Per Mike Yeo.

Awesome news! I was fearing the worst, nice to get some good injury related news for a change.
