GDT: 04/10/2014 - Blues @ Minnesota - 7PM CDT - 3AM Suomi - NBCSN,TSN2 - AVENGERS EDITION

[Sheet]

I'm an avs fan thats desperately hoping you guys win tonight, but mainly I just wanted to say awesome GDT.

 

[OpRedDawn*]

I don't get the logic. Like, they say they wanna keep rolling and win the game, and improve their game. At the same time, you're starting Curry, and throwing in horrible players like Rupp and Heater.... It's like half and half.

Either play to win, or rest your important guys. As of now, we have our most important guys in there to get hurt, but don't have our best players in there to win.

 

[Jarick]

I'm excited to see the 3rd/4th liners get some ice time. This is when you want to do that, not in the middle of the season.

It's strange, because nearly every game this season has felt like a must-win in order to keep up with the pack. Now we have 2 games that are meaningless in regards to the standings. Lose a couple points tonight? Big deal. The Blues jump ahead of the Ducks. Win tonight? Character type of victory that keeps them rolling into the playoffs. The only worry is that we keep everyone healthy. Otherwise, enjoy a couple stress free games. Quite honestly, we could use it.

So sit back, grab a beer, and enjoy watching Heatley try to skate.

Gopher game is going to be stressful enough. Glad this one doesn't mean anything.

last year we lose ourself into playing the top team and got spanked

this year we'll probably win ourself into playing the top team and get spanked

 

[Avder]

Holy **** amazing gdt.

 

[bananaslug]

Spurgeon out- Blum paired with Suter tonight

I think it's important that the players on the ice play for the win. It's coach's decision to rest some of the guys, but players' job is to play. As hard as they can.

PS. What a GDT!

 

[timtindall]

blues fan here to say good luck tonight, and this GDT is pretty amazing!

 

[BigT2002]

No Backes

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Seems odd that Spurgeon is the one to sit

 

[Sharppi]

Excellent GDT, very good job.

 

[FinPanda]

Awesome GDT.

 

[bananaslug]

Probably testing Blum's ability to perform on the top pairing seeing as yeo is least familiar with him

 

[The Enemy Within]

Really wish I didn't have to record this one and watch it after the Gophers game. But I guess it's good to get the stressful one out of the way first. btw Avder just wanted to say thanks for the ticker blocker idea. Finished it yesterday and it does work great.

 

[Digitalbooya]

This is the best GDT thread I've ever seen. Great work.

i'm watching this and recording the gophers heh

 

[The Enemy Within]

i'm watching this and recording the gophers heh

haha yeah.. two sides to the same coin I guess. Either way I really hope they both win!

I think it's a good idea to rest the goalie.

 

[Cluttered]

dis gdt. dis gdt man. it killed me. i am dead.

tsn2 is playing the boston union game but they won't be playing the gopher game. instead they are playing... the wild game. is this the first time i am disappointed that the wild are on canadian tv? :-P

 

[TaLoN]

Seems odd that Spurgeon is the one to sit

Not at all...I called it after the Boston game. He's the least suited to survive a hard hitting Blues team, we need him healthy next week.

 

[kfan22]

So what are most Wild fans hoping for tonight? I know 99.9% of us want to avoid St.Louis, So what is the best route to do that? So do we prefer St.Louis beats us tonight and takes over #1. Keep in Mind St.Louis goes to Dallas tomorrow night on a back to back facing a desperate Dallas team, if they lose that they wouldnt control their destiny for # 1 or do we prefer the Wild Win tonight and Hope Colorado wins tonight to pass St.Louis and then Hope Colorado matches St.Louis in points the last 2 games?

I think St.Louis is going to lose to Dallas tomorrow night. So if the Wild can find a way to win in REGULATION tonight then I like Colorado's chance for a division title because I think they beat Vancouver tonight then all they would need to do is split the last 2 games against San Jose and Anaheim

 

[Paul Bunyan]

Amazing GDT. Spit out my drink when I saw Professor X

Anyway I'm going to this game and it looks like they're resting Bryzgalov and putting John Curry in the net? What's the background on this guy? I hope Oshie doesn't make a fool of him.

Local kid --- Shorewood.

Played really solid hockey for OSB this year and became a bit of a cult hero down there. He came back from Europe to get an NHL shot again and here it is --- hard work pays off.

He went up to Iowa and was good for Iowa standards, being the fact that they were pretty poor this year. I think he then went back down for a bit and was even better than before in the E.

Should be interesting to see him play, he has NHL experience with the Pens I believe, so it's not like he will be completely out of his element.

 

[Jaykay]

I'll be preoccupied with a different game tonight but I'll be expecting a Folin review from those who are able to watch.

As many others have already said, awesome work on the GDT, tyra
