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

[Stupendous Yappi]

Not sure that was a penalty.

Edit: Forgot I'm a half hour behind.

You have nothing to look forward to.

If I can see it on my end, do you think it's my problem?

I never see yours either just say

 

[Spektre]

What do you expect? With Yeo panicking and punishing players 2 games into the season, he cant play with alot of swagger, he will make mistakes, it will happen. He doesnt want to sit or go into negative ice time.

It’s not swagger.

It’s pretty easily noticeable how much different Kyrou’s shifts are vs Thomas. Thomas isn’t making bad plays. He’s simply not playing the way he can. Every single player makes mistakes. The difference is if Thomas plays the way he can and starts producing more points the inevitable mistakes are overshadowed. That’s how it works.

On mobile, I can see them on Chrome, but not Firefox. I'll try turning off uBlock for a spell

i don't see most of them but i'm on netscape navigator

 

[Tryblot]

I mean you can blame the defense all you want, but the defense has been good for the past few years and Allen was still shit. Sure, maybe the defense isn't playing the best but it's just exposing Allen even more.

I see them all, but AOL treats me well.

He's made some mistakes, but look at where Kyrou goes is he gets sent down vs Thomas. I think the kid is just nervous. I'm hoping it mirrors his trade last year where it took some time to get going but once he does, itll be lights out

Round two

FIGHT!

Push it behind the net. Dont play the eggshell game. Paryako was laccidasical on Anisimov, that's why he scored. A shot off pad is designed to do exactly what it did. Do you remember when Toews checked Kyrou and kept him from a tap in? He was doing his job, Parayko wasn't.

No way to push it behind the net without covering the puck in the crease since the puck was directly in front of the net.

The corner would have been nice, but usually when something like that is happening while you're scrambling, the primary thought is just to get it out of there ASAP, not to look around for where the best place is to put it.

There was ultimately plenty of time for the goalie to recover before the shot was taken. He wasn't able to for whatever reason, but the opportunity was there.

 

[Ranksu]

if we lose 0-10, is Yeo fired then?

 

[mw2noobbuster]

LMAO.

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

Ugh

 

[TruBlu]

Love Blais' physicality.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

joki how are u .. after taking that puck in the head

 

[Spektre]

Edmundson has to shoot that faster instead of admiring the puck on his stick like it’s a block of gold

 

[Oberyn]

Blais has to bury that

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

How did that turn into a 2-1

 

[carter333167]

Have you ever played in front of a bad goalie? You can't play your own game because you're too focused on being worried about the next shot going in. You're playing on eggshells and you play a lot worse.

Also what else was he supposed to do with it? He was trying to get it out of the crease, you want him to pick it up and throw it? He can't jump on it, he can't put his hand on it, so all he can do is push it out of the crease.

I've seen Allen play worse but I would agree that his rebound control is erratic tonight and that the early shot that almost squeeked through from the point wasn't a good sign. I can't decide what to think on that flopping fiesta in our own crease. Crap all around.

 

[TheDizee]

this is why ppl like blais wont stick. what a joke.

 

[TotinoDigiorno]

Two great chances

Fair enough, but Parayko was being absolved of blame completely. As you said, it was a scramble so whatever.

I cant blame Allen for bein down 2-0

 

[TruBlu]

I see our ability to finish hasn't improved any.
