GDT: Chapter #4 | St. Louis Blues @ Chicago Blackhawks | "Yeah.. It is another book one, deal with it."

What a great period.

 

[TruBlu]

What happened to our defense, Seriously? Their players are basically allowed to stand in front of the crease without challenge.

 

[The Note]

Absolutely atrocious in the defensive zone

It’s every single game, it’s inexcusable.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

what a * * * *y period

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Sigh

 

[KirkOut]

i still believe in us

 

[The Note]

Can't wait till he gets scratched tomorrow.

Gotta see what Jerebek has again.

 

[Novacain]

I don't know what you guys are talking about, Dunn was clearly the problem.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I remember games under Hitchcock where they didn’t allow 23 shots in the whole game.

 

[Oberyn]

Don't understand why the Blues D just clear the puck aimlessly in the defensive zone. It almost always ends up on an opposing player's stick.

 

[converseman54]

Jake with his best save percentage of the year so far

 

[TotinoDigiorno]

Someone's never had a goalie try to tomahawk him...

Not sure what being tomahawked by a goalie is, but I imagine it's getting clubbed with a goalie stick lol...

However, I've had a glitch where a goalie went into a desperation save laying down, and when I went and crashed into them they stood up and launched me 20ft into the air.

Probably well deserved, but they doubled down with the revenge when I pissed my pants crying.

[EastonBlues22]

Yeo will be gone by December.

I like to imagine Yeo singing this.

 

[Spektre]

i still believe in us

Us as in HF contributors???

 

[Ranksu]

Its really depressing. How good everything looked at off-season. I'm like...eh.. so much imporve, but…. I'm just speechless what is wrong with this team.

 

[Edgar Carrow]

Not sure that was a penalty.

Edit: Forgot I'm a half hour behind.

 

[KirkOut]

Us as in HF contributors???

Nah that, unlike the team, we could never lose faith in

 

[Lord Helix]

I like to imagine Yeo singing this.

While it's on my mind...

 

[EastonBlues22]

Dude. How old are you?

 

[Tryblot]

The shots were 7-6 and they were getting chances and looking good. You could tell Allen was extremely shaky early with the point shot that almost squeaked through and the play that led to the penalty. So what does Chicago do? Shoot for a rebound on the first chance they get on the PP and it's a goal. They know how awful Allen is so they're shooting from every where. That's why the shot total is so high. On that second goal, the puck was behind Allen so the Blues players had to dive in and clear the puck from behind him, if they didn't it was an easy tap in goal. The puck squirts out to Kane and you can see Allen look at Kane as he skates to the center of the ice, so what does Jake do? He turns his back to Kane and looks at the back of the net.

You guys want to act like this is all the defense and it's ridiculous. Goaltending like this kills a teams spirit. You could tell early on that he was going to be terrible he has been. Keep blaming defense all you want, but I bet if we saw another goalie it would be a different story.

 

[Blanick]

Well I am on hour 15 of an 18 hour double shift and that first period did little to raise my spirits. I guess the good news is if the game continues on this way I won't have any reason to watch it and can do straight to bed.

 

[Lord Helix]

Yep...Except I've had my own goalie take a swing as well.

 

[RORbacon]

You’re in for a treat!

 

[Ranksu]

I'm guessing EB22 is drunk now, who is going to take a bet?
