GDT: Blues @ Hawks 7pm 12/9/23 NBC Sports Chicago

[No Fun Shogun]

We’re good again, forever.

 

[Pez68]

I see absolutely no reason Zaitsev shouldn't be in the lineup every night. He's better than Tinordi by a mile. Better than Murphy too.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Haven’t been able to watch any tonight, but I cry a little every time I see we scored a goal and Bedard had no involvement.

 

[TLEH]

Holy awful shift by Reichel

He’s been good tonight but just made a comedy of defensive errors

 

[ello]

When we move our feet we're actually effective as a unit. Guys been following Guttmans lead

 

[Section88]

What a job by seth jones

same lol he's been slamming his stick a couple times tonight. timing just isnt there

He’s had his chances tonight

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

He’s had his chances tonight

As long as he’s continuing to do this, it’s all that really matters. Though it’s nice when he’s able to get some points out of it.

 

[ello]

i know - big picture big picture - but winning is so much fun

 

[deytookerjaabs]

There are certainly times when Bedard needs to have a shorter touch and just keep things moving as well, goes both ways. He's needlessly walked into brick walls only to lose the puck a few times already tonight.

 

[jaysoneil]

#16 ties his career high in goals after only 26 games.

Currently a +5 on a team with a -26 goal differential. Not bad.

He still has a lot of growing to do. Don’t like his back check and defensive zone blowing, but im
Sure he’ll learn.

Im honestly surprised to see it. Dont feel like he ever played this much hero puck in juniors. However, cant help but feel like he'll be able to walk through players sooner or later once he gets more experience, imagine his skill in like a 23yo frame

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Have to say this is the most positive I have felt about the future of our back end in a long time. Several very young defensemen really looking like they have a long future in the NHL. And the size of some of these guys, wow.

If they found another linemate for him, he might not need to.

 

[TLEH]

Murphy, the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Mrazek almost had more goals than Seth there...

 

[TLEH]

That’s a great play by Bedard. Soft play by Kurashev and he makes a great defensive play on the wall.

 

[Section88]

Blues PK plays soft as hell.

 

[TLEH]

Crazy how much better it looks with Bedard on his strong side. Idiot f***ing coaching. Truly. Clowns.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

If they found another linemate for him, he might not need to.

Totally agree, but when nothing is happening it's sometimes better to accept it and focus on the possession game knowing that the chances will eventually come when the line is clicking.

 

[TLEH]

Also if Bedard was playing with anyone other than Kurashev he has atleast 8 more points.

 

[Styles]

I really have no idea why Kurashev has been stapled to his wing most of the season.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Maybe as good a 2 game stretch as Mrazek has had in his career, hope he keeps the shutout
