Half-Assed GDT: Blues vs Stars, Twas But a Scratch

[TheOrganist]

Krug still blows and some bad giveaways along the wall in the 3rd but it was nice see the D breakout the puck with authority most of the night. Good for Kyrou.

The place was going nuts when Kyrou dropped the F bomb and my boy was in tears

Wow I had to stop reading here because I’m so enraged. First Kyrou gets Berube fired by himself and now he’s making kids cry with bad language. This is unacceptable.

Kevin Hayes questioned whether JR took Kyrou out of context in the postgame interview with Strickland. Good move, my man. Circle the wagons, boys.

Please let this finally be the end of JR

It won’t be. Robert Thomas said on the radio that they all respect him, didn’t sound like any hard feelings.

Unfortunate

it's insane how good heiskanen is.

I think it was he who lost the puck to Kyrou on OT

that kyrou went by him in OT is good example of why we don't want to run our most talented forward out of town.

Lets ******* go boys!!!! Finally broke the curse of not being able to win when getting scored on first and scored a sick powerplay goal. Rouzy with the first star and sounded like he dropped a f bomb with the Rivers interview. lol. Un-f******believable.

Had work tonight! But good to finally win a game we gave up the first goal in!

To those that are/were opposed to Kyrou’s contract, take some solace in that his money could be used to help Bally’s pay their FCC fine for his amazing F bomb!

So 2 games under Bannister, haven't been able to watch either. Have there been any noticeable differences in style of play since the new guy came in?

I noticed the Blues out-hit the Stars by around 2x. How's that been during the season before?

 

[Xerloris]

Is this a good time to remind us that Dallas played last night so there's no reason why they should be skating circles around us in the third?

No they didn't, it was only the final 8 or so minutes.

Good win.

Had bad defensive breakdowns on all 3 of the goals we allowed, but for the most part I liked the rest of our game. Thought we were more aggressive defensively overall, good gaps and sticks, and really good energy the first 2 periods.

It will take a while to evaluate Bannister but the hope is just to see good signs in each game that we can keep building off of. I’ve seen that in the first two. Now this road trip will be telling.

I don't recall seeing a defensive breakdown of goal 3? Just a double deflection on Binner.

We're playing much faster and shooting a lot more. Also, our defense is doing fast paced breakouts and it looks like what we've been meant to do for a few years now but never did.

Yeah, we definitely weren't chasing them around our zone and having issues getting the puck out of the zone when I wrote that.

What's the point of responding to game thread messages when you don't obviously don't know the context of what was going on when it was written?

what I noticed, especially in the Dallas game, were our D being way more aggressive in the neutral zone, they broke up a lot of Dallas plays before they got going and won us possession going back on offense

Ya, try making sense next time.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Yeah, it was better - still not perfect, I don't think anyone is expecting that from 2 games - but we played a terrible Ottawa team and a Dallas team that played the night before and then had to come into town. The encouraging thing is that we didn't play down to Ottawa's level and we battled back last night after going down 2-0 early; that Saad giveaway, however, was an instant flashback to what we were doing before all the drama of this week unfolded.

We might get a better idea of things when we go play Tampa and Florida and everyone's rested and no one had to play the night prior. We look good and composed in both, even if we lose either or both, that will be encouraging. We start to slip and get dominated in either game and start to go back to the same stuff that's been happening, questions will start up again.

wow they won. good game kyrou, now build on it
