Half-Assed GDT: Blues Habs: Back To Back Mid-Day Away Games, Why?

[Frenzy31]

Great back to back away wins. At mid day no less……

Krug with 5 points. Insanity

Robert Thomas has 57 points in 51 games this year so far.

He'd have to up his current pace quite a bit the rest of the way to hit it, but it'd be cool to see a 100 point scorer on the Blues.

Well he did take out one of their best defensemen.

Joking aside.

How does someone that plays like 15 minutes tops some how in your mind effect the entire rest of the team during the 45 minutes that he's sitting on the bench?

Harris averages 17:33 a night and has been a healthy scratch for 20+ games this year.
He's a 3rd pairing guy at best.

The problems with the 3rd line disrupts our ability to roll our lines and kills any momentum our other lines might generate. At best, that line is one and done in the offensive zone and then we're playing defense the rest of the shift.

I'm not saying the problems all rest on Blais(injuries have certainly played a part) but he's been a fixture on that line for most of the year and he's been extremely disappointing in the role. The sooner he's replaced the better.

I’m shocked the Blues won back to back day games against bad teams after a long break. That combo is usually their kryptonite and if I was betting, I would have bet a large amount they would have lost at least one of those, if not both.

So that makes up for the Columbus debacle. Now we’ll see if they don’t get blown out in Toronto because I’m expecting some type of let down.

Krug with 5 assists and somehow still a -1.

Sometimes, maintaining your reputation is paramount!

Thought we were tanking, what gives, yall?

Thought we were tanking, what gives, yall?

i mean, they arnt really beating cup contender quality teams right now. good for them for winning them but this team still needs to be sellers at the deadline.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

With the stat adjustment, Torrey Krug's 5 assists is a single-game record for a Blues defenseman. AAAAND as Spear said, he's -1. Gotta love it.

Time for DA to strike while the iron’s hot with Krug!

And he led the team with 3 giveaways too. (Had 0 takeaways). Classic.

He had 2 assists at even strength....so...I'm guessing somehow the stats are wrong.

He had 3 assists at ES. Funnily enough, on two of those goals it was a transition assist where he passed the puck up the ice, got off the ice, and we scored. So he got the assist but not the +1

 

[GoldenSeal]

Good clinic, boys!

 

[BadgersandBlues]

Remember when Binner was struggling and people wanted to bring Allen back? Yikes at those takes.

Gotcha. Kind of like when Petro changed lines when he used to get caught up ice. Used to aggravate me to no end.

Glad to see that The Blues Clobbered The Habs. Onward to the playoffs!

That wasn't Blais' fault.
and @Ranksu 's kitten soft favorite goalie played great as usual
