GDT: Avalanche @ Blues

[Dbrownss]

I don't understand Hitch logic why on earth he puts Begsy 2nd line with Lehterä and Tarasenko and brakes STL?

They arent set. He wouldn't even confirm for JR. It'll revert back to what works before we know it

I've always been a fan of Hitch, just not his line juggling. Honestly I lost a little respect for him in the last 2 pre-game shows when they aired the "Hitch-effect" or whatever they called it. Anyone else hear him refer to himself in the third person? Made me think of Eric Johnson.

I'm going 4-2 Blues.

Oshie, Shatty, Schwartz, and Backes with the empty netter.

Tarasenko hits 20 posts, goes mad and slashes someone's head off and is forever banished from the NHL.

 

[LGB51]

Lets Go Blues.

hopefully elliott doesnt have a setback and builds off his shutout performance. dont really care to see more soft goals every night from him. now is the time to start making a push with rinne hurt and the hawks struggling.

What are you referring to?

Hitch just hongry for that BLT

but, perhaps the logic is that it puts a better shooter with stastny and jaskin... and it adds some cycling and puck possession to lehtera tarasenko who sometimes try to do too much via passing and the pressure ends too soon.

But yeah, i think it will revert to normal in the game

 

[FloridaBlue]

What are you referring to?

Oh just the fact that Ells gave up some soft goals in the few games since being back from injury that suddenly makes it a career long trend for him and is what will happen for the rest of the season and into the playoffs.

Hitch has gone full sandwich and loaded his shopping cart with BLTs. He is predominately shopping for bacon, but is anyone else buying the bacon?

Not at ~6-7 dollars per pound. Do I look like a millionaire?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

hehe, there's a special kind of hockey board humour - I likes it.

hopefully Elliott continues his 3 year streak of being one of the top goalies in save% and GAA tonight

I really like how Hitch is playing the hell out of him, proving that he can handle the load.

Waitress: Can I take your order?

Hitch-Swanson-****: Bring me all the bacon you have.
Wait a minute. I'm concerned that what you just heard was "Bring me a lot of bacon." I said, "Bring me all the bacon you have."

Thank you for putting it that way.

Dude could pilot the team to the Cup, and a few around here would reply, "Eh, he's not consistent enough to be a threat to repeat. Not durable enough to win it again."

Lol at Hitchcock's name being filtered by the censor with I hyphenated it!

Ah yes the Hitch effect. We saw it at it's peak last year when he continued to roll with the frelling Jackman-Polak pair

grossssssssssssssssssss nbcsn

god damnit

 

[ManyIdeas]

oh, hitch being the defensive wizard, as if blues aren't 3rd in goals per game

already had enough of nbcsn. bleh

 

[The Note]

Yeah it should be a treat when your team is on national TV. That's not the case on NBCSN.

 

[Dbrownss]

And we always seem to lose.... hate National games

 

[ledzeppelinfan1]

Why does Pierre insist on calling the SOB line an experiment even after backes told him this is nothing new in the pregame interview? I hate nationally broadcast games.

 

[Lord Helix]

On the plus side, we're the team without that stupid Reebok piping now.
