GDT: Defending Stanley Cup Champs St. Louis Blues vs. Montreal Canadiens |6 PM| HNIC Edition

[simon IC]

Well, we finally got the ugly score we deserved.

 

[Ranksu]

Is this the Cup hangover setting in?

Looks like.


habs deserve win. They wanted. Good for them.

 

[illininer]

Quit playing after we took the lead.

We've been extremely soft so far this year. Can't be soft since we are one of the slowest teams in the league.

 

[STL BLUES]

Some of the Blues are stuck on Market Street

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

we play them again next saturday

 

[Ranksu]

Tarasenko shouldn't play ~17min. Pathetic performance.

 

[HighNote]

When Thomas gets back.

Perron - ROR - Blais
Schwartz - Schenn - Thomas
Fabbri - Bozak - Tarasenko
Sundqvist - Barbashev - Steen

Perron - ROR - Blais
Schwartz - Schenn - Thomas
Fabbri - Bozak - Tarasenko
Sundqvist - Barbashev - Steen

Id rather move sunny with bozak thomas and bring in macmac for the 4th line. At least macmac plays physical. Fabbri offers nothing. He can skate in circles around players while he does ultimately nothing.

The main goal is to get Tarasenko less minutes. He skates like he's gassed so how about we give him less ice time.

 

[TK 421]

We knew this was coming with the way they've been playing. On to Long Island to see old coaching nemesis Barry Trotz.

 

[BlueKnight]

What a stinker. They deserved it.

 

[BlueDream]

We were due for a loss on the road trip. Whatever.

get a win Monday.

 

[Robb_K]

Let's forget this game and move on. You can't beat an NHL team if you don't skate, and play with some energy. A team can't win every game, and can't play hard all 82 games. Let's play hard, and determined against The Islanders, and come out with a win, Monday. Tarasenko and Schwartz need to start playing with purpose. As John Lee Hooker sang, - No more Doggin'!

 

[Borderbluesfan]

First game where we didn’t get points! I predict there will be a few more this season!! Not worrying until it looks like we won’t make the playoffs. As I’ve always said as long as you make the playoffs, you have a chance to win it all!!

 

[Meatball]

I mean, we already won the cup, so I'm completely alright with whatever happens from here on in.

That said, our defense was bad, Binnington was solid and I don't expect us to keep playing like this forever.

We will be fine.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Wake up call.

Can't play 75% and expect to win.

 

[Vladdy the Impaler]

Lol players still hungover. Not surprisingly, I'm still just thinking "oh well, at least we have the cup." It's gonna take a while for me to really get disappointed with this team ever again...

 

[Borderbluesfan]

The only team ahead of us in the Central has one more loss in regulation than the Blues, lol!! Overreaction to a loss almost as bad as Monday morning QB’s reacting to NFL results!!

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Kudos to Sammy....he comes to play every night.

 

[Sgt Schultz]

First time I've gotten to see them this season, thanks to a free week of NHL Center Ice. They looked like a different team after they took the lead. The persistence was gone.

While the eventual game winner was a soft goal, Lehkonen had time enough to take a few more whacks at his own rebounds if he needed it.

I think the fifth goal was worth a challenge, but that may not have made any difference from what I saw down the stretch.

Out of an 82 game season, there are going to be some stinkers. This was definitely one of them.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

what a stinker ..... on to long island er brooklyn or whatever

Brooklyn is on Long Island.

 

[Blueston]

As I have posted before, Sanford and Fabbri have no business being on the same line. In fact, if it were up to me, they wouldn't be in the same lineup. One of them needs to sit when Thomas returns.

One or both will.

 

[Blueston]

Wife and I had date night so first game I missed in quite a while. Sounds like I lucked out. We had lovely evening and team apparently laid an egg.

 

[Ranksu]

Looking total icetimes. Fabbri bit ovet 8min and Sanford 7min.

St. Louis Blues - Montréal Canadiens - October 12th, 2019

Time for MacMac.
