Half-Assed GDT: Blues vs. Stars| Half-Assed Slump Buster|

I hope Faulk puts in a ****load of goals during the playoffs this year so people will get off his nuts

I am the opposite. I hope he is a -20, so people will realize he was a stupid acquisition.

Get this idiot off my team!

Come on dude. We get it already but rooting against your own team to push your agenda is f***ing silly.

Fair enough. Heat of the moment post. My apologies all.

Lots of fratricide in the thread among Blues fans.

Face it the team is in a slump.

They might pull out of it
They might not pull out of it
Come playoff season this slump may mean nothing or it could have meant everything

Stay tuned...lots of hockey left to play


Now put the brass knuckles, pitchforks, and shotguns away...

Exactly. The Blues aren't immune to slumps, and we should have expected it at some point this season. No one said it would be easy. The overreactions are a bit much though. Yes, we could have played A LOT better in these past games but it's not like we're getting dominated. We have missed on too many wide open nets in recent games. If Parayko, Schwartz or ROR had buried their wide-open chances, we win and all is well. I know we had similar chances the last game we just couldn't convert either. This game and the Jets game really could have gone either way, with both teams trading momentum throughout. We just didn't get the bounces in the end.

That being said, it's time for Jake to get a start.

So ive been to 3 Blues games this year and they're 0-2-1. Next Blues game I have tickets too is March 29 v Minnesota. Mortgage your houses now and bet the farm on the Wild to take that one, the betting odds should be unreal because MN should be in the basement at that point.


EDIT: Also, despite the loss, I think the Blues vastly outplayed Dallas and would most likely beat them in a 7 game playoff series if fairly officiated. Blues outchanced the Stars all game but had some severe timing issues that kept them capitalizing. Who knows, maybe the ice was just bad since it was ~10 degrees warmer than it had been all week.

I do not think we vastly outplayed the Stars last night at all. There were stretches where we looked better than them. I thought there were far more stretches were they looked better than us especially in the 2nd and 3rd period.

Game fall down after Faulk penalty and Dallas first goal.

Team has really missed something since Sunny D went down. good to get Mic Mac back but they need more from Bozek, JDL and Brower. I wonder if Schenn and Schwartz aren't trying to do too much with the goals getting harder to come by. Getting caught up ice and out of position a lot. Just look at the plus minus. Faulk needs to get his head out of his *** and figure it out quick. Where are you Carl Gunnerson???? That is all!

Sundqvist is becoming one of the most important players on the roster. I don't know our exact record with him out of the lineup, but I know we have a losing record for sure.

He'll either be protected in the expansion draft, or we'll have to work out a deal for Seattle to not take him.

He's close to being the 7th. We are going to lose someone good, unless we give them something decent to take a specific player.
