Half-Assed GDT: Blues at Wild

[elkranio]

We should take a face-off violation penalty each time we go on the PP

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Wild gotta be the most frustrating team to play against in the league.

 

[DoubleK81]

Please, if there is a god, send Yeo a message to get Steen off the PP. Or anything other than a shut down line. He is an offensive black hole right now.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Do they pre-plan any questions before interviewing people?

 

[TruBlu]

I'm not sure moving Steen will do much. The pp scheme in general is inept. They've moved just about everyone around, between units, etc. Our pp, as currently constructed, just isn't any good.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

The logic being applied to their player placement is baffling. And again, our offensive strategy has become “take point shots”. That’s not reliable enough, and our forwards are too talented to not have them taking one-timers and moving the puck down low

 

[AjaxManifesto]

So what am I missing?

Listening off and on while doing household chores.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Until we fix the special teams, we can’t play as hard, and the other team can just slash or hook as much as they want during 5-on-5 without fear of it coming back to bite them.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Schenn in netfront presence is baffling as well.

 

[Spektre]

Do they pre-plan any questions before interviewing people?

55 year old stranger with a mic: “Hi my name is The Cat, can I ask you some questions on TV?”

Stranger: “The Cat??? Ok I won’t cuss.”

Live on TV 15 seconds later from The Cat: “What’s your name?”

 

[KirkOut]

My boy Paajarvi's got a goal in him this period

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Good kill.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Put Tarasenko closer than the blue line, and that one-timer goes in

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

FFS Steen

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

CLassic point Steen

 

[TruBlu]

That shift is what I want to see every time they have the puck. I can handle losses if we play to win. Standing at the perimeter and passing back and forth is not playing to win.

 

[KirkOut]

Steen are you for real right about now

 

[Xerloris]

Can we just take Steen off the f***ing PP now?

 

[Oberyn]

Steen last man back what could go wrong

 

[Spektre]

Sign Steen to an extension

 

[EastonBlues22]

What a terrible zone breakout. Four on one coming out of the zone, and they still couldn't manage a clean exit.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

If only we had proper handedness, good slapper, PMDs that could play the point in the power play, then we wouldn’t have to have Steen on the point

 

[fishsandwichpatrol]

are they really still doing the "duuub" thing every time he touches the puck

 

[TruBlu]

If they keep that pressure up they'll pot one.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Steen is wilds best pker.
