Half-Assed GDT: Blues vs Ducks

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Who could have known putting Tarasenko on the left would mean he wouldn’t be able to get a shot off? Who could have known?

 

[Novacain]

The entire team just looks so uncomfortable on the powerplay. Nobody seems to know were their teammates are supposed to be at any given time.

 

[Meatball]

Oh look a power play. Ducks got this.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Defer.

 

[TheDizee]

pretty pathetic to watch jaskin get PP time and be nowhere near the front of the net.

 

[Robb_K]

Blues back on the power play!

 

[Dbrownss]

I so f***ing sick of the player placement on these PPs

 

[Oberyn]

Anaheim player is missing a stick and we can still barely complete passes on the PP lmao

 

[converseman54]

Need some PP viagra

 

[Novacain]

I so ****ing sick of the player placement on these PPs

It's complete garbage at this point.

 

[TheDizee]

this is the worst ive seen tarasenko play in years

 

[Dbrownss]

It's complete garbage at this point.

It really is. It looks like there isn't much of a plan.

 

[Novacain]

f***ing Crossbar.

 

[Robb_K]

Sobotka again fails on a nice set up. And Tarasenko klanks the crossbar!! No luck for The Blues.

3rd pairing just a complete liability tonight. Schmaltz looks like he is still adjusting to NHL speed. Too indicisive and slow to react. Keeps looking a step behind the pace. Dunn looks a bit better, but got worked on that goal against. That pair have been hemmed in our zone several times tonight leading to dangerous chances against.

 

[Oberyn]

I have never been less interested in a game than tonight, what a snoozer

 

[carter333167]

Steen's shot is impotent.

 

[Novacain]

Nice to see Brodziak and Upshal back in together.

 

[converseman54]

I'm not even sure what our top line is right now. Feels like 4 third lines

 

[Thallis]

Why are we putting Jaskin on the second line instead of Berglund?

 

[TheDizee]

done with this team until a move is made.

 

[Oberyn]

Bout to get shutout 2 games in a row

 

[TheDizee]

Why are we putting Jaskin on the second line instead of Berglund?

slobbering love affair with him for some reason. guy isnt even a NHL caliber player.

I feel like our standards are rising. Yeah, there have been a couple of visible defensive lapses, but Anaheim only has 11 shots on net more than 2/3rds of the way through the game.

Matt Walker was a defensive liability. Dunn and Schmaltz aren't perfect, but they look like legitimate NHLers and the team isn't limping with them on the ice.

Does anyone remember that time against Buffalo when the Blues did that thing with the puck that made that red light go off behind the opposing goalie?

What was that? It was pretty cool.
