Beautiful pass by Jaskin but we can't buy one to foil the shutout.

 

[uncommonsense52]

Pajaarvi and Cole need to be moved. Need to keep Jaskin and Lindbohm up.

Because the problem is the two guys who are usually sitting out anyway...

This is all systems. The league has Hitch's playbook now. The very few changes Hit h has tried to make... A more passive D, outlet passes behind the net to along the wall at the blue line... Are easy to hem us in with. And the offensive strategy seems to be what its always been... Which is predictable.

Problem is systems, not players.

Lindbohm and Jaskin are probably not quite assimilated to the systems yet, and because they're not familiar with Hitch's defective systems yet, they appear to be doing well.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

So glad I started Allen in every league I have him in, dropping Allen for Hutchinson in 3..2..1.

Yeah the team as a whole played like crap, but Allen has had several clunkers since Elliot's injury. It should realistically be 3-0 right now, & if he's suppose to be our regular starter by the playoffs then he needs to make a lot more routine saves then he does. Have not been impressed at all by the future in net.

I'm the first one to criticize goalies, but Allen was not at fault tonight. This has been an absolute dumpster fire of an effort from the team. He should have had the ROR goal, but he's been the least of our problems tonight.

That would be the exact same lineup I'd like to see as well.

Yeah, Jaskin 100% needs to replace Lindstrom. He's useless

He's ruined my teams goalie stats every time I've started him. I freaking started him over Bernier tonight and of course Bernier pitches a shutout while Allen gets lit up by the Avs of all teams.

 

[jura]

ping!

 

[Yoko Ono*]

Where is Bishop when you need him, oops.

 

[Lord Helix]

If you're outnumbered in a puck battle on the PP, you're doing it wrong.

 

[elkranio]

Well every team gets destroyed once in a while. But why couldn't they lose to some meaningless eastern team instead of Avs?

 

[Note Worthy]

What a shot by Tarasenko.

It's essentially the same thing. The points don't matter against the Avs because they're so far down.

I don't worry about their points, I just don't like them.

Ah, now that I can understand.

Apparently standing around and watching the puck is not a successful gameplan.

 

[RR10*]

Pietrangelo -12. Just saying.

It's not just this game, he has had more than a couple where he has been less than impressive. I don't need a 2.60 GAA .900 (maybe even below now) as one of my starting goalies.

Since we've heard this last year and the year before, is this the year this reasoning is finally right? I'll give a hint: probably not.

 

[kagei]

They kinda look like they don't want to get shutout now.

 

[sbet1998]

Pietrangelo -12. Just saying.

How can we get rid of him? I dont see any chance that he gets better. He's old and this is typical.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

I guess that's why they call it the blues...

It hurts so much

Hey it's frustrating as all hell, I know. Especially since I'm a goalie myself. Having said that, it shouldn't be entirely surprising. He's still a rookie. He's going through some growing pains that include some stinkers.

 

[Note Worthy]

One out of a possible six points this road trip. Not too good...

 

[STL BLUES]

3rd period and nothing changed except the goalie!
