GDT: Blues vs. Avs|R1, Game 4| The End Is Nigh|

[MissouriMook]

That's what Scandella is for.

Scandella in the Top 4 next season is likely to get you much the same result as this season. No bueno.

 

[Stopsight]

Some hard things to play through but still a disappointing season this year. At least Kyrou took a step forward

 

[Oberyn]

At some point, the Blues need to start giving their youth more opportunities to shine. I don't need to see Bozak on the 1st PP or Sanford bumped to the top line for the 17th time. Give Kyrou/Thomas the reigns to lead this team offensively and see what they can do with it. I wasn't happy with Thomas at all this season but the talent is extremely evident, I hope he finally makes it all click this offseason. Kyrou has shown that he's the most creative forward on this roster, and I want more speed and creativity and less of whatever the hell players like Bozak are bringing.

 

[Oberyn]

Perron was vaccinated just like Walman. That's just so unlucky for us.

 

[Meatball]

That's what Scandella is for.

The sooner he's traded for a bag of pucks, the better.

I'd rather give those minutes to Walman and Perunovich.

Hmmm...so we've got Parayko, Krug and Faulk and need a top-4 to complete the group. Honestly, that's going to have to be one HELL of an addition to make that a formidable group. Like a Hedman or Heiskanen. If we're just going to throw another #3/#4 type at the problem what the hell's the point? It's still going to be 'no bueno'.

If only there were a franchise #1D to solidify this group...

I don't get the hate for him. Maybe he wasn't his best this season but that can be said about a lot of players on the team. When he got here, he showed that he was a good stay-at-home LHD, which is exactly what a lot of people here are asking for. He can play with Parayko and absolutely deserves another look.

 

[Ranksu]

I view Walman can take Krug spot. Mikkola takes Scandella spot.

We just need top2 LHD

X - Parayko
Walman - Faulk
Mikkola - Santini/Bortuzzo

Use Scandella and Krug/Dunn for upgrade real top2 LHD.

And Binny proved to be more than a flash in the pan.

Scandella was fine.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

I'm usually the Debbie Downer.

However, I'm more hopeful about our future.

DA needs to do a minor retool. Part of which is a serious fix in our lack of future talent in the pipeline.

I'm confident that if we get back to a regular 82 game season with normal travel habits this team will be fine.

I hope they've all learned something in the last 18 months and get hungry again.

While we missed out/passed on Pietrangelo, I haven't seen where Peter-Angelo is playing this year, maybe we could still sign him

It doesn't need to be a #1 or even a #2, just someone that is not going to get exposed playing big minutes. Scandella just doesn't have the speed or quickness to be effective against the faster skilled players that dominate today's game, and frankly his decision making was suspect far too often this season for someone with his experience.

There are certainly a few left shot guys out there with some size and quickness that won't get lost riding shotgun with Faulk or Parayko in a Top 4 pairing. I've seen enough of Scandella in his 73 games with this team to know that he doesn't offer enough in the Top 4 on a team that still wants to contend.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I still want Ekholm to pair with Parayko.

I watched Wild vs Vegas game 5 and that was my first full Vegas game I saw Petro play (minus playing the Blues) and wow it was textbook Petro ALL game.

Soft on everything. Couldn’t hold the puck in during key moments, pushed off the puck and bullied easily by the other team and his textbook fire the shot high and wide to clear the zone.

 

[Stlblue50]

Watch the Wild’s empty net goal, it’s worth waiting through the other goals of the highlight package!!

Huh, funny, when I think textbook Petro I think of a defensemen that, unlike just about any defender we had this year makes smart steady reads in his own zone to push the play forward, not whatever this crap you just posted is.

Yes, your old romantic partner is dating someone prettier then you, talking bad about them does nothing but make you look petty.

I laughed out loud in my living room when that happened live.

Well having watched a lot of other Vegas games on my NHLtv subscription. You weren't watching Pietrangelo.

I think it is time to close this.
