GDT: Game #6 | Blues @ Lightning | "YOU COULD HAVE BEEN 5-0!!!"

[TruBlu]

You know what they'd get though, A point. That's 2 weak goals tonight. And as we've seen. Once you don't trust the goalie, the rest goes to ****

He's kept 24/26 out. That's competent At worst. At some point there has to be some accountability for the skaters.

 

[Thallis]

Our 3rd line is not NHL caliber.

 

[Oberyn]

Does this team know how to win board battles

You are right about that. If Allen let softies team will respond the same way. This team isn't mentally tough one.

 

[TruBlu]

Allen can be rightfully criticized for something without the connotation that a loss is completely his fault.

Right. That was my whole point. I'm only seeing criticism about the goalie. He's given up 2 goals. 2 out of 3 games that's good enough for a win. Putting up 0 goals is a recipe for a loss 3 out of 3 games.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Man, and that happened to be the only play by Kucherov I was impressed with.

Both him and Tarasenko have been quiet tonight.

 

[KirkOut]

Our 3rd line is not NHL caliber.

Our first line doesn’t look NHL caliber tonight

1st goal is on him. Soft wrister beat him 5 hole. 2nd goal is on Soboktas turnover and Eddys mistake....with all that said, its still a SOFT goal. Im not upset with him because he's not putting up a vezina performance. He's not making the saves he has to make.

I mean, most of the criticism has been concentrated right after the goals were given up. That is the usual time for that sort of thing.

I think most people would agree the team around him has been outplayed by their opponents tonight. They've been outplayed in transition and along the boards, and generally haven't done much to create offense down low in the Tampa Bay zone. They've whiffed on the few real chances they've had. None of those are good things.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

This team has no coordination. Tampa is shutting down the Schwartz-Schenn-Blais line and 56/71-Stastny-Tank hasn't done anything since the beginning of the game. Then the 3rd line..... Well yeah.

 

[Spektre]

The Stastny whiff was brutal. No sustained pressure by the Blues and credit goes to the TB defensive game in smothering the puck in their zone.

 

[PiggySmalls]

I’m honestly not overly surprised. Most underlying stats showed Blues won the first 4 games because of goaltending so now that Allen is playing average the true colors are coming out.

On a good note, Blais looks like did in preseason. A legit NHLer. Dunn’s offensive prowess really starting to show.

 

[KirkOut]

TB is playing great defensively . No room anywhere

 

[Captain Creampuff]

MPS and Jaskin are useless.

 

[Mike Liut]

The only way this team wins is when Jake stands on his head.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I never knew how much I would miss Bergy on the 3rd line. I didn't think PRV and Jaskin on the wings would be this lackluster.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Welp crap my Sling broadcast just glitched out are started the game over lol, do not think I could tourture myself to watch this one twice lol

 

[Luther Whitney]

Boom. Now let's go!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Tank!

They won the first few games because they took a early leads and used that to control the pace of the game.

 

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

Well, Tarasenko always helps

 

[Dbrownss]

Hahaha.....vasi didnt budge

 

[Ranksu]

Can we start to talk about tanking?

I agree. The first goal went through a Blues' defenceman's legs, and caromed off another Blues' defenceman's leg. Allen was partially screened.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Schwartz and Schenn get another point each, and Tank with another goal!

 

[Spektre]

Best wrister in the NHL
