Half-Assed GDT: Blues Caps: Hello Oshie! Care For a Home and Home?

[i aint Dunn yet]

passing has been shit the whole game

 

[Blueston]

passing has been shit the whole season

FIFY

 

[Spektre]

Bench Thomas the rest of the game for another dumb f*** pass

 

[Blueston]

now even our 1 good line sucks.

need to shake em back up

 

[Blueston]

this in many ways is as bad as we have looked all year. there were games where we seemed to phone it in, but i'm not even sure that is problem toinight. we are just a bad team.

 

[Mike Liut]

Has a team ever fired 2 coaches in the same season?

 

[Ted Hoffman]

They're trying hard tonight, though. Sort of. Not trying productively, but they're trying.

What could Ott be trying to communicate to his guys?

Hopefully it's shoot the goddamn puck already.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

damn you

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Oshie with the hatty. Really, that was the only proper way for this to end tonight.

 

[sfvega]

Love Oshie, not a fan of this iteration of the Blues but the future looks bright.

 

[Robb_K]

It figures that Oshie would get the hat trick with an empty-netter. He's gotten 43% of his total goals for this season against The Blues in this game.

 

[MissouriMook]

Get Oshie the hatty.

 

[Blueston]

it always does. because if it doesn't, you just gotta look further ahead.

 

[Dr Robot]

Its weird to me that Oshie is 4/5 years older than Schenn.

 

[Stealth JD]

How is this team at the salary cap max? They’re out-classed most nights and simply don’t have good depth or enough top-end talent. There are just so many mediocre guys on this club. Honestly, they’re fortunate to be as high in the standings as they are. If not for Binny goalie-ing a few teams, they’d already be looking forward to the draft (as they should be doing anyway).

They’re just so bad.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

We are tied for 7th worst in the league and only 3 points from 6th.

True. The Swedes are coming.

and we’ve been relatively healthy too. I think we’ll be worse next year than this year. Sad, but true.

I think the bottom 6 are set. I think 7 or 8 is a real possibility.

Also feels strange to see that he has 100 more games played as a Cap than as a Blue

That isn’t strange. We traded him 9 years ago.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

True, the added time between drafting and him making the NHL warps my perception, he was in the Blues org for 10 years.

Well, that was an ugly game. Utter dog shit.

At least Kessel played well?

kessel played over 5 minutes less than any of our d. wasn't noticeable. i guess that means he played sorta well when most of team was so crappy.

That's mostly because he isn't on special teams and this was a penalty fest. His 5v5 TOI wasn't too far behind other Blues D (ahead of Krug FWIW).

Go look up Kessel's advanced stats, they were stellar. Disagree that he wasn't noticeable. Thought Kessel had good gaps, was very solid defensively (particularly in front of the net), and generally made smart decisions with the puck offensively.
