It’s intimidating that Paraykos torso is as big as Pangers whole body

Parayko scores on a beautiful wraparound!!!! Blues win in OT!!! 2 More points!!!!

 

[Xerloris]

I really think the Isles need to go f*** themselves. 2 periods of a turtle is f***ing stupid.

you beautiful bastard, you.

While I totally understand why everyone calls it boring, it’s an oddity to see another team play a game similar to ours as well as we do. And we still do it better than them

It's a winning formula. Blues do it even better because I think they have more talent.

And to think the Isles fans on Tuesday night called my team brutal. I think the Blues just became my numero dos!

Am I the only one who likes the Islanders? They kind of play like the Blues.

Sick bump. The first 18 minutes of this game is the sloppiest they’ve played all year and why they had to fight back the way they did. I never said they couldn’t come back.

I thought that after the first period when I stopped watching. They are so structured, it’s a boring game when both teams are so structured but if you can appreciate it it’s great to watch

I agree. They are very well coached, just like our Blues.

Exactly!

I hated that Chicago game. It was a scoring race and nothing else.

Lots of "experts" and "talking heads" call the Blues boring because we don't play like its a track meet. I hate it when we do.

Absolutely, have to agree. If DA and Berube have done anything right to build this formula, it’s find the right players to play in it. Exhibit A has to be how good Scandella works in the system when he was maybe average at best outside of the last two weeks. Loving him as a Blue and this team. We’re getting into the right grove at the right time again.

I don't think the Islanders play like the Blues honestly. They do make a game like today pretty uninteresting to watch.

The Blues are fantastic at establishing cycles to open up lanes while the Islanders want nothing more than to beat you on the rush. The Islanders establish such a staunch blue-line stack while the Blues play a more fluid defensive style. The Blues style is much more adaptable because of it while also maintaining good structure. Although it is hard to pull off because there are a lot of moving parts. The Islanders are trying to be suffocating, but it's not a winning formula by any stretch of the imagination. It relies so heavily on maintaining position that speed and quick transitions will dismantle it effectively. You know, like how the Blues couldn't beat the Kings or Blackhawks for so long under Hitch?

at least we can see that this team can adapt and play with anyone's style from brutal hard hitting, to track meets to turtles. I talk crap on this team sometimes getting overemotional, but holy jumpin this team is amazing.

The sloppiest they've played all year is an ultra hot take

 

[Bluesish]

I'm here to eat my first period crow and to apologize to our throwbacks.

Nah. Isles play Hitch hockey. I hated Hitch hockey. Chief hockey is better. Be the water.....

It’ll be my safe space

Holy shit the Isles are boring to watch
