GDT: Blues @ Avs 2: Electric Blue-galoo| 8pm CST| FSMW|

[AjaxManifesto]

I should be angrier about this, right?

It's been worse. I remember Columbus put 10 on us one night a few years back. I think that year we went to the WCF.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Everyone on the Blues has a reverse Gordie Howe hattrick, no goals, no assists, no fights.

W4-1

then

L8-0?

WTF!

LMMFAO!

 

[Canuckle1970]

Canuck fan in peace and empathy (McDavid tornado survivor). Saw the score and came here. You didn't disappoint - these were awesome.

As always, thanks for the laughs.

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

Woof

 

[Snipes45]

So did the Avs just keep piling on when they had a PP? Didn't put out some scrubs?

 

[LBlues24]

Get it the hell out of the way. Fix it. Let everyone put Colorado back on their pedestal and let’s go beat up on the sharks Monday.

Who cares? Its on us to stop the bleeding. Its not on them to let up.

why wouldn’t they to get things clicking. This is still a warm up FYI

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Before putting this thread to bed, I’ll just add this little fitting tribute.

 

[MortiestOfMortys]

Seriously, how awkward must that flight home be right now?

 

[Ranksu]

I’d like to see anybody name a better lineup than this one in Blues history​

 

[Ranksu]

@Ranksu

have any other Finnish goalies??

Blues don't draft finnish players, 'cus our amateur scout had fun time picking up funny names to draft.

Team has been awful, but Husso 70% save is concerning.

Team played perfectly. D-core is mesh in. Krug and Faulk at penalty killing is really genius move by our coaching staff. Dunn showing up his game big time at d-zone.

@Ranksu Do not watch this game. Do not look at the box score. Do not ask how Husso did.

I cant think of better situation where our goaltender gets debute game. It was success. And those goal, they were soft as kitten soft. All was Husso's fault.

This should keep ransku quiet about husso for a while.

Hmm, me quiet. Sorry I think I'm going to starting up.

 

[Ranksu]

I think this should be pinned by @EastonBlues22 in Blues board. When you open Blues board this picture show up right away upper corner.

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Boys should be embarrassed. As bad as that was, Avs still had trouble scoring at even strength, they only got 2. Our PK was terrible though.

 

[Robb_K]

I think losing Bortuzzo at the beginning of the game just really threw them off. It really hurt them on the penalty kill. Just have to throw this one away and come back for the next one. I hope Bortuzzo is ok.

He had some cobwebs from that hit. I think it's just the automatic concussion protocol, and he'll be good to go on Monday.

 

[Ranksu]

@Ranksu is gonna flip out.....Its Ville Time.

This gif makes sense. Husso couldnt even 'catch' his eye.

 

[GoldenSeal]

Same old Blues.

Let’s see how THESE boys respond. I doubt Chief is going to tolerate this.

 

[Brockon]

My only thought on this effort tonight is to say COL can't be written off. The boys weren't ready to go and COL came out looking for blood...

Anyone saying COL is a pushover, please take note of tonight's game... They're clearly not unbeatable looking at game 1 but ...

In a season full of back to back matchups, it's going to be important to adjust to what your opposition does from game to game.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

They announced he had an upper body injury though, rather than saying he was in the concussion protocol or the quiet room. Maybe this is the new standard for the announcement, and maybe they announced as such to put more pressure on for a hearing for Nichushkin. If we leave Denver with Blais suspended and no investigation for that hit on Bortuzzo, I would be pissed.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

So did the Avs just keep piling on when they had a PP? Didn't put out some scrubs?

They rested Makar, Mackinnon, Landeskog and Rantanen for the last 10 minutes. Neither of them were on the ice for the last 3 powerplays. Actually every single player on their roster had at least 1 minute of PP time with the exception of Timmins who had 58 seconds.

 

[Reality Czech]

They will review it. So each team has taken one on the chin in these first two games. It's gonna be a battle with these Avs all season.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

These next 8 points / 4 games are all games you’d like to expect St Louis to win. They are teams we don’t expect to be competing for the top of the division. But it’s early in the season and every team is playing with hope now. If the Blues play with any degree of entitlement, hard to believe after last night, they’ll probably have some disappointing losses. Now is the time to accumulate some points.

I’d hope they feel entitled to exactly nothing after giving up the touchdown and two point conversion last night.

 

[DeuceNine]

We had big losses to Boston in the Final too. Big deal. Two powerhouses going toe to toe, this can happen. We just need to beat who we should and let the chips fall with everyone near the expected top of the division.

 

[Novacain]

I’m not gonna pretend anything like this can be established after one game, but I’ve been surprised more people were not worried about our PK going in the season. It’s been a weird discourse, as everyone just wants to talk about how much our power play would improve (we already were at 25% or there about last year without Hoffman and Krug, which is generally about as high as a PP% can be sustainable), which was 3rd in the league, but it feels like we took a step back in Penalty Killing which was already 18th. Playing teams like Colorado and Vegas could really expose that potential weak spot.
