Half-Assed GDT: Blues @ Jets 2PM start

[Robb_K]

The Blues just didn't have the will or the legs today. It's a shame, because Binnington came back from his long absence with a sharp and strong game(while it was in doubt). The game was over when he gave up his only soft goal (4th).

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

We should get quite a few bodies back with this week off at least

 

[Xerloris]

if only i was the coach

this game is on chief

He has not been good today and there is zero justification for starting someone who has not played in 3 weeks when you have a 5-0 goaltender spitting out #1 star performances every night sitting on the bench now.

I agree that we should have played Lindgrenn but you really need to get off the Binnington played badly shit. Charlie would have been shit on today if our defense played this shitty for him too.

One more "shit" and this post is perfect.

they play hard for chucky sideburns, which is why hes the #1 moving forward.

Perron, Kyrou, Kostin, and maybe Thomas and Sundqvist? Who else is still missing? I know there are a few others, but we've been playing so well with the youngsters, I haven't missed them.

schenn kyrou neal thomas walman

schenn kyrou neal thomas walman

Is there any room for Walman or Neal? I'd rather play one of the younger forwards than Neal, and rather play Mikkola and Perunovich over Walman. I don't think I'd want to bury Kostin, or Torophenko, or Brown in The AHL, just to keep Neal from being claimed on waivers. I think Brown would have to clear waivers, too. I think it's a certainty that Neal will be lost, in any case. The young, fresh legs that are actually sparking this team, is JUST what The Blues needed this season. Let's not ignore that just to save a couple old veteran bodies.

 

[TheDizee]

as i said, 3rd and 4th goals were kitten soft. lost by 2 goals.

chucky sideburns has not allowed one softie FYI.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

i just hope this is not the new norm with covid breaks every season and testing players daily ...how long is this going to go on ?

disappointing loss , but the jets played better

this ^ .... i agree robb there is no way we keep neal over brown , toro or kostin ...... hell throw dak and walker in there at the bottom end as well ...we have to much depth atm

Jets were pumped up from Maurice being fired. They came in with purpose that we didn't expect and weren't prepared for.

Binny played well enough for us to win. The D simply didn't play for him. If we played Lindy we might have still lost or stole a point in OT. Like I said before, this team plays by feel and there was no reason to start Binny. Play Lindy til the wheels fall off and then start Binny. I'd rather Binny be 100% healthy and ready to go than to play him just because he's on the roster and we're paying him starter money. Play the hot hand.

Vladi scored again, so hopefully we're seeing a full return of the 91-Badass.

Not concerned. Not worried. Keep rolling boys.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Off night.

Would have been nice to get the W headed into a mini-lockdown of the NHL in Canada

 

[Reality Czech]

Parayko had a terrible game, Perunovich was an absolute non-factor and probably needs to be sent down and none of our forwards did much to impress me outside of the Russian 3. Not surprising we lost this one.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Are we complaining that Binnington shouldn't have played because he hasn't seen the ice for three weeks, yet simultaneously complaining that Binnington needed more time to rest? Am I getting that right?

I would bet money we keep him over everyone there not named Kostin. Probably also Kostin.

really ? i think others have already passed him on the depth chart ... do you really want neal over kostin ,brown ? i would rather slot toro in than bring neal back .. what does neal bring ? he aint taking sunnys spot ...

Soooooo.......you don't like Neal.

Is that it?

 

[GoldenSeal]

I like Neal.

 

[LGB]

Playing Neal over Kostin or even Brown would be very short-sighted. Don't even think he's better than either of those guys right now either.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Is there much reason to like Neal?

Other than being able to use the phrase, "Neal before Saad..."? Not that I can see however we did effectively fill in the void of no longer be able to say, "Well they Dunn Faulked up." and there's a certain value to that.

I just wish the Blues' reporters and the team's official social media accounts would list him as "Real Deal" when posting lines.

Example:

"Today's practice lines -

Saad - O'Reilly - Perron
Buchnevich - Barbashev - Tarasenko
Real Deal - Thomas - Kyrou
Kostin - Bozak - Sundqvist"

If they're not gonna do that, what is the point of having him on the team?
