GDT: ♫ @ ★

[bleedblue1223]

Don't give Been-Spezza-Seguin PP opportunities and we'll be fine. Those 3 score a ton, and are all over a ppg, but Seguin and Benn are both even and Spezza is a -5. Usually +/- isn't a great stat, but when you score that much and your rating isn't positive, it isn't a good thing. Benn only has 1 PP point and is still just even, so that line is terrible during even-strength, despite scoring a lot.

I would attribute that to their "wide open" system. Just outscore the opposition. I've only watched a couple dallas games. Wasn't overly impressed but I wasn't last year either. And they started to give us issues at the end of the year.

Spezza wasn't much of a threat on the 2nd line when I watched earlier

Players.

Checkout Tom Timmerman's twitter, he's with the team this trip and posted lines earlier.

[Vladys Gumption]

Maybe not on paper but they've got guys like Garbutt, Fiddler, and Roussel who are such pains in the ass to play against and always manage to chip in a goal or 2 against the Blues

Rousell and Garbutt always seem to kill us.

 

[Rangediddy]

Who's starting?

Who's starting?

Elliott.

I'm just sitting her chuckling to myself because to an outsider, this has got to be the absolute worst GDT

I haven't gotten to watch Dallas this year yet so I'm looking forward to this one. I was looking at their stats and thought "man, in only 1 more game played, Dallas has 12 more goals than the Blues. Oh, they've also given up 14 more goals." So it looks like things are going according to plan for them so far. Win games in high scoring fashion.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Or is it the best?

[The Note]

Fun for us, not for them. So the best.

This is a top 25 all time Blues GDT imo.

 

[Meatwagon]

Have fun and be sure to tell shoot as much as possible

That's fine, as long as he isn't the guy at Scott whom immediately yells shoot the second they get in the puck in the O zone on a PP. God that freaking annoying

 

[Overkamp]

Gunnar wear's 4.

Great, he automatically becomes our new Eric Brewer! Or is it our new Kris Russell?

 

[Overkamp]

Oshie-Backes-Schwartz
Lindstrom-Berglund-Jaskin
Steen-Lehtera-Tarasenko
Ott-Lapierre-Reaves

Anyway, looks like the high scoring (non-existent defense) vs the lower scoring Blues (defense masters).. is it defense that wins championships? No clue.

 

[Colt 55]

Any ideas why this game is on at 730? is that normal for dallas?

Yes, just like Chicago and a few other cities.

 

[Colt 55]

Yes, just like Chicago and a few other cities.

I thought LA was the only city that did that. Must be due to the traffic in those cities

 

[Twisted Blue]

Shoot. Win.

 

[bleedblue1223]

We did 7:30 for a year, but everyone got pissed about it. I think the NHL tried changing it to 7:30, but most teams ended up going back to 7.

 

[Note Worthy]

I like this "True Blue" segment on the pregame show. I'd like to see more of this.

 

[bleedblue1223]

I miss Ken Wilson.

 

[kagei]

I was hoping more like Marc Bergevin.

 

[David Dennison]

Great, he automatically becomes our new Eric Brewer! Or is it our new Kris Russell?

It still kind of hurts that we gave away Russell for a song. I know his offensive skill never materialized here, but he was a really effective player on the 3rd pairing and ended up costing around the same as Leo.
