GDT: blue stars

[Twisted Blue]

I thought circling the wagons was a defensive move when the indians attacked. Just saying

They prefer Native Americans, feather not dot.

 

[Old Blueser]

Yeah, made it harder to attack them

pretty easy to google

 

[elkranio]

Hurray

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Lmao that's an Oshie empty netter if I ever saw one.

Tarasenko, Backes, Schwartz, Steen all have 20+ and now Oshie has 19.

Imagine how many Oshie could have if he hadn't started so slow.

 

[PitchDoug]

Now Lets Go Ducks!

 

[Colt 55]

3 stars gotta be Petro, Allen, Osh

 

[Robb_K]

Great bounce-back road back-to-back 2nd game win after such a disappointing game last night. LOTS of Blues really came to play tonight. Allen, Pietrangelo, Gunnersson, Michalek, Stastny, Tarasenko, Oshie, Backes, Jaskin, Berglund, Goc. Wow!! I've already forgotten their lousy showing last night.

 

[Blanick]

I think Oshie broke Seguin's ankles with that EN

 

[elkranio]

We play significantly better when it's 4x4.

 

[Twisted Blue]

Thanks Blues for ending my weekend on a good Note

 

[PitchDoug]

Thanks Blues for ending my weekend on a good Note

here here. I needed this more than the team

and see what u did there

 

[SweetyV]

Allen was on fire. 7-1-1 in his last nine. Need to give him the next one and see what he can do.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Yeah Allen's last 9 are pretty impressive.

7-1-1 with a 1.97 GAA and a .917 save percentage.

 

[Dbrownss]

"Nah Allen will pull out a shutout so we can have our goalie controversy back.


Also the Predators are winning which insures the Blues win tomorrow since they only seem interested in hanging with the Preds"

Posted this yesterday in the Minnesota GDT.

Called it!

Happy as balls right now

 

[LGB51]

Elliott needs to start as many games as possible down the stretch to be geared up for the PO's. Don't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to start bickering over who our PO starter is now, with 13 games left in the regular season. Yes Allen had a good game, but I don't want him in net in the PO's to watch pucks go by him in droves by way of his lower stick side (which is his worst spot) but just stick side in general really.

 

[elkranio]

Meanwhile Ducks are leading 3-2 after being down 2 goals.

 

[Mzeppelin1]

Saw this and the alumni game. Awesome. Hilarious watching Marty trying to score on Marty.

 

[LGB51]

And Anaheim has scored 3 in the 3rd to take the lead with 6 minutes left, and the ducks are on the PP.

 

[LGB51]

Did Anaheim even get a shot off in the second? I watched most of the period, and the started the second with already having 10 shots on goal. By the last few minutes of the period when I stopped watching, they still only had 10 SOG and were down 2-0. Must have been a heck of a first 15 minutes of the 3rd, sucks I'm at work and can only watch parts when I get the opportunity to open my laptop.

 

[LGB51]

Yes, 4-2 Ducks with 4 minutes left! If I post more about this game, I'll do it in the "Around the NHL discussion" thread after this post, sorry mods.

 

[Meatball]

The second spot in the conference is the sweet spot right now. We avoid the Hawks and Kings and play the Wild. Who we are vastly superior to.

 

[LGB51]

Really pulling for Winnipeg throughout the rest of the season. As of right now, they are the last wild card spot in the west, with LA on the outside looking in. I'd like it to stay that way.

How did Jackman - Lindbohm pair worked/looked compare to Jackman - Bortuzzo?

(didn't watch the game, was too tired)

Watch boxscore (TOI's):


(btw I just predict those were pairs idk really for sure)

Jbo (22:48) - Pietro (25:08)
Gunnar (20:17) - Michalek (18:48)
Jackman (16:12) - Lindbohm (13:55)

Jbo          7:19 SH TOI
Pietro       6:34 SH TOI
Gunnar     4:15 SH TOI
Michalek   3:14 SH TOI
Jackman   2:05 SH TOI
Lindbohm  0:33 SH TOI

I think that is quite terrible why on earth Hitch wants to put out of gas Jbo and Pietro. Release Jbo and Pietro SH icetime and put pressure guys who aren't going to play maybe playoffs or get SH icetime in playoffs. Lindboh/Bortuzzo. Coaches have been carefull, but I would like they would get more and more release top2 D's. You cannot be overcautious when most important games are near, over that hill.

 

[Dbrownss]

Gunnerson Pietrangelo
Bouwmeester Lindbohm
Jackman Michalek

That was the pairings.

Alot of time for the PK last night, but they were awesome. So I can't blame hitch, I'd expect to see Michalek's time shoot up once he's use to the system
