Half-Assed GDT: Blues @ CBJ - Preseason game #4 Away Game

[BuLLeT1291]

Well who won't play?

Blais- ROR - Tarasenko
Schwartz - Schenn - Kyrou
Steen - Bozak - Perron
Fabbri - Thomas - Jaskin

Barbashev / Soshnikov / Sundqvist / Maroon / Thorburn / Nolan / Sandford

That's deep roster.

Ofc one of Blais or Kyrou will be send down so guy like Maroon and Barbashev can play.

Maroon has had a hell of a pre season so he should play.

Maroon has had a hell of a pre season so he should play.

excuse me, did you watch last game?

 

[EastonBlues22]

Is he better then Jaskin?

At what aspect of the game?

I think Jaskin is (in general) better than Maroon away from the puck, but Maroon can do a good bit more with it, and can actually complement skilled players. The latter is harder to replace than the former, so Jaskin's the easy choice to go between those two IMO.

 

[HighNote]

Maroon - O'Reilly - Tarasenko
Schwartz - Schenn - Blais
Steen - Bozak - Perron
Fabbri - Thomas - Kyrou

 

[converseman54]

Maroon - O'Reilly - Tarasenko
Schwartz - Schenn - Blais
Steen - Bozak - Perron
Fabbri - Thomas - Kyrou

That Steen - Bozak - Perron line would probably end up being our 4th line. Not in terms of minutes but in terms of production

Edit: recency bias overreaction of course

Happy talk in my ears. Columbus brodcasters cheering for finns. Wish we had such a genius people in Blues board too.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

I do like the idea with Blais with ROR & Tank though @Ranksu

not to mention the amount that they have hyped up Maroon

 

[BuLLeT1291]

excuse me, did you watch last game?

Yeah and he wasn't horrendous. He had offseason surgery and it was his what 2nd pre season game? Sample size but if you put both him and Jaskin in front of me, I choose Maroon every day of the week and twice on sunday.

I only root for Laplanders, southerners can kick rocks.

Blues absolutely mucked a goal in there lol.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Kyrou's speed....

 

[Ranksu]

Maroon - O'Reilly - Tarasenko
Schwartz - Schenn - Blais
Steen - Bozak - Perron
Fabbri - Thomas - Kyrou

How can you put Maroon with ROR - Tarasenko. Maroon was awful last game. He doesn't have legs to play such a high tempo game with ROR and Tarasenko. That line needs legs, so Kyrou, Fabbri or Blais could do that job well.

Maroon fits well 4th line and maybe powerplay and stand front of net, but asking to do more is too much for ask.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Jaskin bringing it

 

[m1a2lt]

So now Jaskin!

 

[BuLLeT1291]

Barbi with last touch so he gets it. 4-1 good guys.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Stevens get that?

 

[m1a2lt]

Barbs?

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Jaskin gives us options though if we need to play a heavier game

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Barbs, Jaskin, or Stevens?

 

[MortiestOfMortys]

Good job by Schmaltz to get the shot through there. Stevens and Jaskin crashing the crease pushed it through

 

[Thallis]

Kyrou's speed....

He is unbelievably fluid on his skates.

 

[Beauterham]

Baby Blues vs Blue Jackets with a lot of their top guys: 4-1. Wow.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

We have a VERY GOOD problem to solve...

Too many good players

 

[BuLLeT1291]

Stevens get that?

Says Jaskin but looked like Barbs had last touch? Hmmm
