Half-Assed GDT: Blues vs Islanders

[Blanick]

Blues did a good job of making this a game it seems but we are running out of race track.

That post has blocked like 5 goals tonight.

Game.

Goodnight everyone

 

[Lakas]

Parayko telegraphed his pass

Oh well, home games have seemed to be the Blues Kryptonite the past couple seasons. At least they didn't get shutout again on home. Some more take away is overall Dunn looked pretty good pulling 1st line minutes.

 

[elkranio]

f*** this game. I hope we've left all our bad luck in it.

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

Worst luck I've seen

 

[TomDelonge]

As good as hes been for a long time now, why would still call him that?

He started the preseason and first couple starts of this season off horrendously. Joke Allen isn't a thing of the distant past.

Kinda funny that every A+ chance the Blues had ended up in an Islanders goal, like literally every NYI goal.

 

[Oberyn]

Islanders did a good job in capitalizing on the opportunities given to them. Blues couldn't do the same. On to the next one.

Allen cost this game, 2nd, (3rd) and 4th goal were softies. I guess it was the mask fault?

From what I seen the entire team didn't play that great. Yeah Allen didn't play fantastic, but, neither did the rest of the team.

My opinion from the stands. The first period was absolutely terrible play teamwise. Errant passes, bad decisions with the puck, etc. We settled down about halfway through the 2nd period. A couple of goals for the islanders were transitions back after we had just had a grade a scoring chance that, like most everything for us last night, failed to go in. One of them ricocheted up and behind the forwards who were trying to get the rebound that led to a 2 on 1 back the other way. I counted about 4, maybe 5, pucks off the bar last night. It was disheartening sitting there watching good chance after good chance fail to convert. Sometimes these games happen. Just bad luck. I also hate playing a back to back team that lost the first game. They generally come out with a lot of urgency.

On to the next one....

Winning 4 out of every 5 games can't go on forever. Blues need to regroup and get back to their game. 60 or so games left to play. I'd be happy to win 3 out of every 5, make the playoffs, and have our game play be dialed-in for the post-season.

Its been going on for about 6 years now

That’s a 130 point pace if my math is correct.

Lol, well roughly 50/82 is still pretty close :p

These games happen, regroup and move on to the next one.

IMO Husso woulda stopped them

 

[TheDizee]

Another lackluster game, better end that trend tomorrow.

Steen's line was a total trainwreck last night.

let's blame the mask

Yes that has been continuum, when Allen let softies team front of him play as poorly too. That is going to be huge problem in playoffs, 'cus Allen most likely don't keep up his A+ mode for full of post-season.

It could also be that when the team plays poorly in front of him, he sees higher quality shots against; resulting in more shots going in. The term "softie" has been stretched to include just about 90% of every goal that gets let in. For instance, I don't consider a two on one goal a "softie."

Name 1 goalie that never has a bad game. Rough games happen, stop trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
