GDT: Blues vs. Wild| Playoff Preview?|

[i aint Dunn yet]

Miko has that effect on pairings. Liked Rosen in there.

i wouldnt give up on him yet

 

[JR1]

Their goalie is better than ours tonight.

Changing goalies aint gonna stop this shit-show.

Their goalie is better than ours tonight.

Do you wear blinders?

 

[JR1]

well at least we got 1 point. sucks we are gonna lose the 2nd 1 though unless we somehow make it to a shootout.

This aged well. Try a little optimism.

 

[Blueston]

I have a feeling the Wild will lock it down and the Blues will try to get too cute and get burned

Always mister optimism.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Barbashev has 29 assists and Faulk has 26
RT and ROR at 17 goals

 

[Blueston]

Did he say 3-13-3 when behind at the start of the 3rd?

That’s actually pretty good record in that circumstance

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

niko took 1 bad penalty but got called for 2

when krug comes back ... i see this

krug/faulker

leddy/colt

marco/bobby b

 

[TheDizee]

good win and big 2 pts, especially since there is a high probability we get none tomorrow unless chucky sideburns is called up.

this is likely going to be our 1st round matchup unless either team collapses.

good night.

 

[Blueston]

Don’t look now @Ranksu but Faulk with 8 points in his last 6 games and a +2 (the Edmonton game is what brings this down)

Faulk tonight had quite a line: 1g, 1a, +1, 3 blocks, 4 hits, 3 takeaways. No pm or giveaways. He’s been fantastic this season.

 

[BlueMed]

The problem with Minnesota is that they don't really have any game breakers outside of Kaprisov...whereas the Blues have Tarasenko, Thomas, Buchnevich, and Kyrou.

Like the Blues under Hitch. They play playoff hockey all year, so they will have a good record, but they’re not any kind of threat to the top teams because they don’t have the talent.

They remind me of the Blues during the mid-2010s in that regard, when Tarasenko was the only gamebreaker we had offensively speaking.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Thomas has over a point per game. Funny how so many people were ready to give up on him last season and ship him off while he was battling injuries as a 21 year old.

Exactly what I was thinking. Their acquisition of Fleury reminds me of our trade for Miller before losing in 6 games against Chicago.

Wild have 6 20-goal scorers. In addition to kaprizov, Hartman has more goals than any blue. Kaprizov and zucarello each have more points and assists than anyone on blues. They’re not as bereft of talent as we like to think.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

There were?

Yep, we're the same fanbase that has a large group of people calling Schenn washed up earlier in the season due to him having a bad stretch of games when he was playing while his ribs were cracked.

Guys like Hartman, Zucarello, Fiala, EE, and Foligno are good but aren't really game breakers that can instantly change the game like the players I mentioned before. Hitchcock Blues were in the same boat with guys like Backes, Steen, Oshie, Schwartz...

 

[Xerloris]

There were?

Not that I recall.

 

[Blueston]

Not that I recall.

I don’t think anyone wanted to dump him. There was some debate as to whether it might have made sense to deal him to solve 1LD issue.

 

[GoldenSeal]

good night.

Stop channeling Mike Keenan energy lol
We’re rocking and Husso and Thomas are leading the way!
Enjoy these days.

 

[shpongle falls]

Wow awesome game tonight, knew it was gonna be a fun one. Big daddy Vladdy to Robbie Thomas for the OT winner, their chemistry is really heating up right now.

Also this might be the best Schenn has looked for the Blues that I can remember even tho he’s always been a great player for us.

 

[Ranksu]

Maybe the best game so far by Faulk in this season and that goal was what he was paid to be in Blues. Solo gameplay and score crucial goal. 1 vs 3.


Hopefully he would play like this at least 50% games.

 

[PG Canuck]

Husso is a god and it seems he’s not fully appreciated so I will appreciate him. Thank you.

 

[Frenzy31]

That was me. But it wasnt to dump him, it was o free up cap space to solve our LHD. And I still would do it.
