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

[bluebird enthusiast]

Got me all hot and bothered for nothing

 

[BlueOil]

disappointing back to back losses against the hawks

maroon looks like a 3rd line lug filling in on tarasenko's line

allen played decent

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Thank the Lord that our first to Buffalo next year is protected. I'm seeing only 1 more win this month against Montreal. I'm also seeing a new coach in November.

With the #11 pick in the 2019 draft, the Buffalo Sabres select....

Cmon guys, you can’t beat Cam Ward either time? Jesus.

 

[carter333167]

Our only win is against Calgary with Mike Smith throwing up an egg.

 

[phxblue]

We really need Kyrou to be our Debrincat

That would require ice time with top players, consistantly and allow him to make mistakes. Im not sure if Yeo is going to allow that this year. Maybe next year.

shove the panger right up your * * * darren

5, 5, 3, 4. No chance to win giving up that many goals every game.

 

[mk80]

Blame tonight's loss on me, I wasn't able to watch the entire game, got home turned on the TV to watch OT and the Hawks scored immediately....

Sorry everyone

 

[Tryblot]

Screw you Jake Allen and you’re making Edmundson do terrible in OT by making him demoralized by not saving that one puck well enough earlier in the game.

It's pretty funny when giving up 4 goals actually HELPS his GAA. But whatever.

Pretty much.

 

[phxblue]

The only reason we even got to OT was because of a mistake by Cam Ward on the Perron goal.

That said, dude that knocked down Schenn should have been called. When it wasn't, I figured the Hawks would score. They were basically 3 on 2 at the end there.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Chicago may be getting some points early, but they are not a good team. Sadly, neither are the Blues right now. Tonight I finally came to feel the defensive coverage is a lot bigger problem than the goaltending.

Are we overestimating our defensive personnel?

 

[TruBlu]

We aren't going anywhere until a real defensive plan is executed. They are just picking a man and following them around.

 

[rumrokh]

Inexcusable to bench Dunn. I don't want to see Bortuzzo again until somebody's hurt. Barbashev needs more icetime. Why on Earth is Tarasenko still on the left side on the powerplay?

Comically poor officiating to top it all off.

 

[Oberyn]

ROR is gonna lose his love for the game again playing on a line with Maroon and Tarasenko. Maroon can't do anything right and Tarasenko has no drive to get the puck unless someone lays it on a platter for him. Feel bad for the guy as he's busting his ass out there every shift.

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

They lay off to much..when we were great last year, our d moved towards the slot and we took chances because of our skill. Then we backed off of that and it's been downhill since.

Helped his Save Percentage too, but that happens when teh D allows 50 shots.

 

[Dbrownss]

One more link on that Yeo choke chain

 

[Spektre]

well

 

[Dbrownss]

Helped his Save Percentage too, but that happens when teh D allows 50 shots.

That's because he demoralized them, duh

There’s no scheme. There’s plenty of talent back there, but they’re all wandering around like chickens with no heads. Pietrangelo, Parayko, Edmundson, Dunn (RIP), is a plenty good top 4 and Bouwmeester, Schmaltz, Bortuzzo are all good enough for bottom pair duties. It’s coaching.

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

A lot of time, the coach has not been the problem here...The coach is definitely a problem here in this instance.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

yep ... i hope the noose starts to tighten on yeos neck after tonight

 

[Falco Lombardi]

That’s the thing. I’m not. He’s got to play better overall. Not tonight though. 0 percent of this loss is on him.

You’re just so extreme on him you can’t see anything else.

You literally blamed the 18 skaters poor performance in the first half in this game on a save Allen made.
